Position Summary

We have an exciting opportunity for a Chief Estimator to join an established general contractor. Reporting to the VP of Construction, the Chief Estimator manages the full estimating process from concept through tender, establishes best practices, and maintains strong relationships with clients, consultants, and subcontractors.

Ensure estimates achieve targeted gross margins by project type.

Lead bid risk identification reviews and management efforts.

Lead major tender closings, ensuring submissions are compliant, accurate, and positioned strategically for success.

Lead the transition from successful tender to Operations through formal project handoff meetings, ensuring complete transfer of estimating assumptions, risk registers, subcontractor commitments, and pricing strategies.

Collaborate with Operations and Business Development teams to align estimating strategies with overall company objectives.

Serve as a senior point of contact for clients and consultants during preconstruction, supporting presentations, interviews, and proposal discussions.

Provide executive-level input on bid strategies, value engineering options, constructability reviews, and innovative delivery models.

Track and analyze market trends, subcontractor pricing, and material costs to maintain competitiveness and improve cost forecasting.

Develop and maintain productive long-term relationships with key clients, developers, consultants and trade partners to increase negotiated and repeat business opportunities.

Support contract negotiations by providing cost breakdowns, scope clarifications, and risk analyses.

Champion adoption of estimating technologies, digital workflows, and databases that improve accuracy, efficiency, and scalability.

Oversee maintenance of historical cost data and benchmarking tools to support budgeting and forecasting.

Lead lessons-learned sessions and integrate feedback into continuous improvement initiatives for the estimating function.

Monitor departmental KPIs such as bid-to-win ratios, estimate accuracy vs. actual costs, and proposal quality, reporting results to the Preconstruction Director.

Ensure estimating practices remain current with evolving delivery models, contract types, and industry innovations.

Participate in the GC leadership team and contribute to strategic, annual, and resource planning activities.

Adhere to all company policies and procedures

Perform any other duties that may be assigned, whether specifically or generally related to the role
