THIS IS A DIRECT HIRE ROLE
Estimator / Project Manager - Environmental Demolition & Abatement
Full-Time | Competitive Pay + Benefits | RI / MA / CT Travel
Are you the kind of person who can price a job, win it, and then run it better than anyone else?
We're looking for a sharp, detail-driven Estimator / Project Manager to join a growing team specializing in environmental demolition and hazardous materials abatement . This is a high-impact role where you'll take projects from bid to closeout —owning both the numbers and the execution.

What You'll Do
Estimating & Preconstruction

* Perform detailed quantity takeoffs and cost analysis
* Build complete project estimates (labor, equipment, disposal, subs, permits, etc.)
* Solicit and evaluate subcontractor/vendor pricing
* Identify risks, site constraints, and regulatory requirements
* Prepare proposals, scopes, and clarifications
* Attend site walks and pre-bid meetings
* Lead handoff from estimating to project execution
Project Management & Execution
* Manage projects from contract award through final closeout
* Develop schedules, budgets, and execution plans
* Coordinate field crews, subcontractors, and inspectors
* Ensure compliance with OSHA, EPA, and state regulations
* Oversee abatement activities (asbestos, lead, hazardous materials)
* Track job costs, productivity, and performance
* Handle RFIs, submittals, and change orders
* Maintain documentation (daily reports, manifests, air monitoring, etc.)
* Lead meetings with clients, engineers, and regulators
* Resolve field challenges and keep projects moving forward
What You Bring
* Experience in environmental demolition, abatement, or heavy civil construction
* Strong understanding of:
* * Asbestos & lead regulations
* Waste handling, transport, and disposal
* Demolition methods and sequencing
* Ability to read and interpret plans, specs, and environmental reports
* Experience managing budgets, schedules, and multiple stakeholders
* Proficiency with tools like Bluebeam, Excel, Procore, HCSS, MS Project
Bonus Points If You Have:
* Bachelor's degree in Construction Management, Engineering, or similar
* 5+ years of combined estimating & project management experience
* Experience with Sage 100c or eTakeoff
* Asbestos Supervisor / Project Designer certification
* Lead or EPA environmental certifications
* Public sector or industrial project experience
* Hands-on field experience in demolition or abatement
Work Environment
* Mix of office + active jobsite work
* Local travel throughout Rhode Island, Massachusetts, and Connecticut
* Exposure to industrial environments and controlled hazardous materials operations
What You'll Get
* Competitive compensation (based on experience)
* Medical, dental, and vision insurance
* Retirement plan with company match
* Paid time off + holidays
* Ongoing training and professional development
* A team-oriented environment where your work truly matters
Why This Role?
This isn't just estimating.
This isn't just project management.
It's owning the full lifecycle of complex, high-stakes environmental projects —and being the person everyone relies on to get it done right.
