Estimator - Commercial Construction

Commercial Construction Estimator

Camm Construction

Help Us Win the Right Work — And Build the Future of Camm.

Camm Construction is growing, and we are looking for a strong Commercial Construction Estimator who wants to be part of a team that is building momentum the right way.

We are not a massive corporate contractor where estimators are buried in layers of management and disconnected from operations. At Camm, estimators are a critical part of the team — directly influencing project success, profitability, and company growth.

We are looking for someone who:

• Is competitive and wants to win
• Takes pride in putting together strong, accurate, strategic bids
• Understands the balance between winning work and protecting margin
• Works well with Project Managers, Superintendents, subcontractors, and leadership
• Wants to help improve systems, processes, and bid performance as the company grows

This role is ideal for an estimator who is looking for:

• More impact and visibility
• A growing company with opportunity ahead
• A collaborative team environment
• Less bureaucracy and more real involvement in the work
• The ability to help shape how preconstruction and estimating are done

Our focus continues to grow in:

• Commercial interiors & tenant improvements
• Healthcare construction
• Renovation and occupied-space projects
• Repeat-client and negotiated opportunities

We are building a stronger preconstruction process, improving operational alignment, and creating a company positioned for long-term growth. The right estimator will play a major role in that future.

What You'll Do

As our Estimator, you will lead the front-end estimating and preconstruction process for commercial construction projects.

Core Responsibilities

• Prepare conceptual budgets, detailed estimates, and bid proposals
• Analyze drawings, specifications, and project requirements
• Solicit and manage subcontractor/vendor pricing
• Scope trades and identify gaps or risk areas
• Participate in project handoff and kickoff meetings with PMs and Superintendents
• Help create realistic schedules, procurement plans, and buyout strategies
• Track estimate vs actual trends to improve future accuracy
• Support bid strategy discussions with leadership
• Help improve bid quality, efficiency, and hit rate

What We're Looking For

Preferred Experience

• 5+ years of commercial construction estimating experience
• Experience in:
• Healthcare construction
• TI / commercial interiors
• Renovation projects
• Ability to read and interpret construction documents confidently
• Strong understanding of:
• Labor and material pricing
• Means and methods
• Scope development
• Project risk analysis
• Experience with estimating software and Excel
• Strong communication and organizational skills

Bonus Points

• Existing subcontractor relationships
• Preconstruction/client-facing experience
• Design-build or negotiated work experience
• Ability to think operationally beyond estimating

The Kind of Person That Fits Here

The right fit for this role is someone who:

• Is detail-oriented and highly organized
• Communicates well with both field and office teams
• Enjoys working collaboratively instead of in silos
• Can move quickly without sacrificing accuracy
• Takes ownership of their work
• Wants to continuously improve processes and results
• Has the mindset of helping the company succeed, not just completing bids

• Base salary: $80,000 – $100,000, based on experience and proven success
• Performance bonus: Target bonus opportunity of 10%–15% of base salary
• Bonus factors may include:
• Estimate accuracy
