Construction Commercial Estimator
Location: Memphis, TN (serving the greater Memphis metro area)
Build With Integrity. Price With Discipline. Think Bigger. Collums Construction is building something uncommon in Memphis.
We are a commercial general contractor focused on interior buildouts and renovations across office, industrial, retail, restaurant, religious, and education sectors. We are not trying to be the biggest contractor in the room; we are building a disciplined, high-standard company on a path toward $30M+ in annual revenue with strong margins and a reputation competitors try to copy.
We believe construction should be known for clarity, trust, and execution and not chaos. We believe what we do repeatedly becomes who we are. And we believe disciplined estimating is one of the foundations of a great company.
As our Commercial Construction Estimator, you will own the pricing of tenant improvement and renovation projects from first plan review through clean handoff to operations. Your work directly impacts profitability, execution quality, and long-term reputation.
Winning in this role means delivering accurate, organized, and defensible estimates; leveling subcontractor bids with clarity; identifying scope gaps before they hit the field; and continuously improving your cost history and process.
Our Core Values are not wall art. We hire people who Think Big, Be Resourceful, pursue Continuous Improvement, Build with Integrity, and Champion the Standard.
Responsibilities
Review drawings, specifications, and scopes thoroughly
Perform detailed quantity takeoffs and cost analysis
Solicit, evaluate, and level subcontractor and supplier bids
Develop conceptual, budgetary, and detailed estimates
Identify risks, exclusions, and scope gaps before execution
Support value engineering while protecting margin and quality
Maintain organized estimating files and historical cost data
Coordinate clean handoffs to operations with no surprises
Support business development with pricing strategy and preconstruction input
Represent the Collums Construction brand with professionalism and trust
Qualifications
3-5+ years of commercial construction estimating experience (GC preferred)
Experience with tenant improvement and renovation projects
Strong understanding of construction drawings and specifications
Detail-oriented with strong organizational standards
Self-starter who does not require micromanagement
Proficient with estimating software, spreadsheets, and modern tech tools
Comfortable with Gmail, Google Drive, and digital documentation systems
Long-term thinker who wants to build something meaningful
Ability to work locally in the Memphis area
Compensation
Base Salary: $70,000 - $90,000 annually (depending on experience and capability)
Benefits include:
5% company 401(k) contribution
50% company-paid individual health insurance
PTO + paid holidays
Company phone and laptop
This role includes a clear growth path toward Senior Estimator and future preconstruction leadership as the company scales.
Why Collums Construction
Collums Construction is not an average contractor.
We are building a company defined by disciplined execution, strong culture, and long-term legacy. This is a place where A-players thrive, people who take pride in doing things the right way, raising the standard, and growing with the business.
If you want autonomy, accountability, and work that actually matters, and you want to be part of something being built with intention, we should talk.
Collums Construction is an Equal Opportunity Employer. We celebrate diversity and do not discriminate based on race, color, religion, sex (including pregnancy), sexual orientation, gender identity, age, disability, veteran status, or any other protected status
