New Rochelle, NY Compensation:
$120,000 – $160,000 + Performance Bonus & Benefits The Opportunity
We aren't a "bid-hit" shop. We are a family-owned, tech-forward General Contractor and Construction Manager that has spent over 50 years building the infrastructure that defines the Hudson Valley and New York City. From technically complex LEED-certified wellness centers and neurobiology labs to critical transit infrastructure, we tackle the projects others shy away from. We are looking for an
Estimator
who views preconstruction as a puzzle. You aren’t just plugging numbers into a spreadsheet; you are a consultant helping our clients find value, manage risk, and navigate the complexities of rock excavation, deep foundations, and high-end institutional finishes. What You’ll Do
Full-Cycle Preconstruction:
Lead estimates from initial site investigation through final GMP. You’ll handle takeoffs, crew compositions, and production rates for diverse sectors including Healthcare, Higher Ed, and Public Infrastructure. Value Engineering:
We pride ourselves on finding "The Third Way." You will analyze drawings to identify cost-saving alternatives that preserve the architect's vision while respecting the client's budget. Subcontractor Partnership:
You’ll manage our trade relationships, ensuring bid coverage is deep and leveling is precise. We treat our subs as partners, not commodities. Risk Management:
Identify potential "landmines" early—whether it's subsurface conditions in Westchester or complex logistical constraints on an active hospital campus. The Profile We’re Looking For
Experience:
5+ years in commercial/institutional estimating within the NY/CT market. If you have experience with heavy civil, structural concrete, or LEED-qualified builds, that’s a major plus. The "Builder" Mindset:
You can look at a set of drawings and "build it in your head" before the first shovel hits the ground. Technical Proficiency:
Expert level with Timberline/Sage, On-Center, or similar OST/Estimating software. Communication:
You speak to clients and architects as a peer. You can explain the "why" behind a number, not just the "what." Why Join This Team?
Stability & Safety:
We haven’t had a lost-time incident in over a decade. Safety isn't a poster on the wall here; it’s a moral obligation. Project Variety:
One month you might be estimating a $25M specialized laboratory; the next, a complex structural repair for a regional transit hub. Culture:
We are a "flat" organization. You’ll have a seat at the table with senior leadership and your voice actually carries weight in how we chase and execute work.
