• Track bid results, maintain cost databases, and support continuous improvement of estimating processes
• Attend pre-bid meetings and occasional site visits to verify existing conditions

Qualifications

• 2+ years of estimating experience in glazing, façade systems, or commercial construction (or strong field glazing background with interest in estimating)
• Familiarity with storefront, curtain wall, window systems, and aluminum doors/hardware
• Ability to read and interpret architectural/structural drawings and specifications
• Proficiency with takeoff and estimating tools (e.g., Bluebeam, PlanSwift, OST) and Microsoft Excel
• Strong attention to detail, organization, and time management
• Effective communication skills and a collaborative mindset

Preferred

• Experience with school or public-sector projects
• Knowledge of building codes, ADA requirements, and energy performance standards
• Vendor relationships within the glazing/aluminum systems market

What We Offer

• Competitive salary based on experience
• Health benefits, retirement plan, and paid time off
• Opportunity to grow within preconstruction and project management
• Supportive team environment that values field experience and practical knowledge

Location & Schedule

• [Insert location or “Office-based / Hybrid / Remote”]
• Full-time, Monday–Friday
