Job Description
Estimator / Purchasing Coordinator (Residential Construction)
\n
\n
We’re looking for someone who loves both sides of the desk — the numbers and the relationships. This role owns estimating and purchasing for a growing residential builder, turning takeoffs into clean, accurate budgets and buying out trades to hit planned margins.
\n
You’ll set up jobs in ECI/MARKS (or similar software), build structured budgets, issue precise POs, keep cost codes tight, and negotiate competitive pricing with vendors and trades. It’s a one‑person function with real ownership: if you like being the bridge between product, field, and accounting, you’ll thrive here.
\n
\n
What you’ll do:
\n
- \n
- Convert takeoffs into complete, accurate budgets
- Set up jobs and maintain cost‑code integrity
- Issue POs tied to the right categories and account numbers
- Buy out trades competitively and escalate margin risks early
- Track change orders and keep pricing moving
- Maintain scopes of work and support value‑engineering
- Reconcile committed vs. budget vs. actual costs
