Senior Estimator

Senior Estimator | ESOP

This is a 100-year-established, employee-owned contractor with a reputation for delivering complex, meaningful projects while maintaining exceptional employee retention and a genuine promote-from-within culture.

With employees who have spent 15–25+ years with the company, a strong Ohio project pipeline, and a collaborative preconstruction team, this is an opportunity to take ownership of major pursuits while building a long-term career.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• Diverse, meaningful projects — K-12 schools, university facilities, hospitals, advanced manufacturing, commercial developments and complex renovations
• Employee-owned (ESOP) + profit sharing — share in the company's long-term success
• 100 years of stability with deep roots in Dayton and an established Midwest presence
• Exceptional employee retention — many employees and leaders have been with the company for 15–25+ years
• 7-time Northeast Ohio Top Workplace recognition
• Impressive project portfolio — including major school district improvements, healthcare facilities, research and innovation buildings, and community developments throughout Ohio
• True preconstruction leadership — take ownership of estimates, lead bid teams, and work directly with senior leadership on project pursuits
• Promote-from-within culture supported by structured professional development and leadership programs
• Family-oriented environment with the resources and capabilities of a major regional contractor

The Role

• Lead the full estimating process, from early conceptual budgets through final bids and GMP development
• Oversee estimates for complex commercial, healthcare, K-12, higher education and industrial projects
• Assemble and coordinate estimating teams, subcontractor solicitations and bid strategies
• Develop detailed quantity takeoffs, cost breakdowns, project budgets and scope reviews
• Work directly with the Director and VP of Preconstruction, operations leadership, architects and owners
• Evaluate project risks, construction methods, site logistics and value engineering opportunities
• Participate in client presentations, design meetings and project pursuit strategies
• Mentor junior estimators and help strengthen the overall preconstruction team
