What are the responsibilities and job description for the Experienced Commercial Construction Estimator position at GSeay, Inc.?
Experienced Commercial Construction Estimator
Apopka, Florida | Full-Time | In Office
GSeay, Inc. is a growing commercial general contractor seeking an experienced Construction Estimator who can take ownership of the estimating process—from the first plan review through a clean handoff to operations.
This is not an entry-level estimating role. We are looking for a detail-driven professional with commercial construction experience, sound judgment, and the ability to build complete, competitive estimates while managing multiple bid deadlines.
You will work alongside a collaborative team and have a direct impact on the projects we pursue and build throughout Central Florida.
What You’ll Do
- Review plans, specifications, addenda, and bid requirements to establish complete project scope.
- Perform accurate quantity takeoffs and prepare detailed estimates for commercial construction projects.
- Solicit, follow up with, compare, and level subcontractor and supplier proposals.
- Identify scope gaps, exclusions, constructability concerns, cost risks, and bid clarifications before submission.
- Prepare proposals, alternates, value-engineering options, budgets, and estimate backup.
- Attend pre-bid meetings and site visits as needed.
- Coordinate closely with project managers and assist with a thorough project handoff after award.
- Maintain organized bid files, subcontractor coverage, pricing records, and estimating documentation.
- Help strengthen our estimating systems, subcontractor relationships, and bidding process.
What We’re Looking For
- 5 years of commercial construction estimating experience with a general contractor or commercial construction manager.
- Proven ability to estimate multi-trade commercial projects independently.
- Strong plan-reading, specification-review, takeoff, and scope-analysis skills.
- Experience obtaining and leveling subcontractor bids.
- Working knowledge of commercial construction methods, materials, sequencing, and local trade costs.
- Comfortable managing several active bids and firm deadlines without sacrificing accuracy.
- Procore experience preferred; familiarity with AutoCAD and estimating/takeoff software is a plus.
- Strong communication, organization, and follow-through.
- Valid driver’s license and ability to attend local site visits.
What We Offer
- Competitive salary based on experience and demonstrated capability.
- Health insurance and retirement plan.
- Paid holidays and paid time off.
- Stable, full-time, in-office position in Apopka.
- A practical, team-focused environment where your work directly influences the company’s success.
- Long-term growth opportunity with an established and growing commercial contractor.
To apply: Please submit your résumé and a short note describing the types of commercial projects you have estimated, your estimating software experience, and your role in managing subcontractor pricing and bid submissions.
