A bit about us:

Join a fast-growing, vertically integrated real estate developer with an in-house construction division delivering high-impact multifamily and mixed-use projects across an active regional pipeline. This is a rare opportunity to gain exposure to both the development and construction sides of the business, giving you a broader perspective than a traditional role.

You'll work alongside experienced leaders in a collaborative, high-energy environment where culture, teamwork, and professional growth are a priority.

Why join us?

Compensation & Benefits:
Competitive base salary performance-based bonus opportunities
Medical, dental, and vision insurance
Paid time off holidays
Paid parental leave
401(k) with company contribution
Career development, training, and mentorship programs
Company events and a highly collaborative team environment

Why This Role Stands Out:
Developer Builder Advantage - Work directly with ownership and development teams, not just third-party clients
High-Profile Multifamily Projects - Ground-up apartments, mixed-use, and urban infill developments
Faster Career Growth - Exposure to the full lifecycle: underwriting, design, budgeting, and execution
Strong Culture - Team-first, collaborative environment focused on quality, integrity, and innovation
Real Impact Early - Your work directly influences project feasibility and success

Job Details

What You'll Do:
Assist in preparing conceptual and detailed project estimates for multifamily developments
Perform quantity takeoffs and pricing using plans, specs, and early design documents
Support bid solicitation and leveling with subcontractors and suppliers
Analyze project costs, budgets, and value engineering opportunities
Collaborate with development, preconstruction, and operations teams
Help maintain historical cost data and estimating databases
Participate in project handoff meetings to operations teams

What We're Looking For:
1-5 years of experience in estimating, construction, or project engineering
Bachelor's degree in Construction Management, Civil Engineering, or related field (or equivalent experience)
Strong interest in multifamily or residential development
Ability to read and interpret construction drawings and specifications
Detail-oriented with strong analytical and organizational skills
Proficiency in Excel; exposure to estimating software is a plus
Team player with strong communication skills and a proactive mindset
