As we continue our strategic growth, we are expanding our pre-construction team and seeking an Estimator who values accuracy, collaboration, and disciplined decision-making.

This role is ideal for a professional who understands that strong estimates are the foundation of successful projects—and who takes ownership of both the numbers and the outcome.

As an Estimator, you will play a critical role in shaping project success by developing accurate, competitive, and well-supported estimates. Your success will be measured by estimate accuracy, clarity of scope, risk awareness, and effective collaboration with Sales, Operations, and Project Management.

  • Solicit, evaluate, and level subcontractor and vendor pricing
  • Participate in pre-bid meetings, site walks, and scope clarification discussions
  • Maintain organized estimate files, takeoffs, and supporting documentation
  • Support bid reviews and handoffs to Operations and Project Management
  • Continuously improve estimating accuracy through post-project review and feedback
  • Uphold Curry Construction’s values in all pricing and communication

  • Demonstrated integrity and professionalism aligned with Curry Construction’s core values
  • Valid driver’s license
