A bit about us:

Our client is an established Michigan-based general contractor and construction management firm with a long history in the commercial and industrial construction markets. This company delivers projects across multiple sectors and provides services spanning preconstruction, estimating, general contracting and construction management.

The team is looking for an experienced Lead Estimator to support its Flint-area operation and play a key role in developing competitive, accurate estimates for upcoming work.

Why join us?

This is not simply a quantity takeoff position. The Lead Estimator will have visibility across the full preconstruction process and work closely with operations and leadership as projects move from pursuit through award and construction.

The role offers:

• $90,000 - $120,000 base salary, depending on experience
• Bonus potential
• Medical and dental benefits
• 401(k) program
• Paid time off
• Long-term career stability with an established Michigan contractor
• Exposure to a diverse mix of commercial and industrial projects
• Opportunity to take ownership of estimates and influence project strategy

Why apply: This is a good fit for an estimator who wants more ownership of the preconstruction process and a clear opportunity to become a key part of an established Michigan contractor's estimating team.

Job Details

• 5+ years of estimating or preconstruction experience in commercial or industrial construction
• General contractor estimating experience strongly preferred
• Ability to independently develop conceptual, schematic and detailed estimates
• Experience performing quantity takeoffs and reviewing drawings and specifications
• Ability to solicit, level and evaluate subcontractor and supplier pricing
• Experience developing scopes of work and identifying coverage gaps
• Strong understanding of construction means, methods and sequencing
• Ability to work with project management and field teams during preconstruction and handoff
• Strong analytical, organizational and communication skills
