Estimator & Project Coordinator

We are seeking an experienced Material Estimator-Project Coordinator to manage commercial construction projects from bid through completion. This position will be responsible for developing pricing strategy, leveraging market intelligence, and managing long-term project pipelines. Unlike traditional quoting roles, this position requires the ability to evaluate market conditions, manufacturer relationships, competitive intelligence, historical bid performance, and project-specific factors to develop winning pricing strategies.

 

We’re ideally seeking experience reviewing construction documents and preparing accurate bids, but most importantly, experience managing projects with timelines extending 1-3 years into the future. This is an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys combining strategic estimating, relationship management, and project coordination while serving as a trusted partner to contractors, architects, manufacturers, and project stakeholders.

 

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

• Prepare accurate and detailed cost estimates, proposals, and bid submissions and track project opportunities from bid stage through award and execution.
• Review architectural drawings, specifications, and bid invitations to develop comprehensive project estimates.
• Analyze project requirements and determine competitive pricing strategies based on market conditions, manufacturer relationships, historical bid performance, and product knowledge.
• Identify pricing risks, escalation considerations, and opportunities to improve competitiveness and profitability.
• Collaborate directly with manufacturers to secure project pricing, understand future pricing trends, and evaluate cost-effective product solutions.
• Monitor project margins, estimating performance, and bid outcomes to continuously improve future pricing strategies.
• Coordinate awarded projects, including material procurement, submittals, project documentation, scheduling, and customer communication.
• Serve as a primary point of contact for customers, contractors, architects, and internal stakeholders throughout the project lifecycle.
• Maintain strong client relationships through proactive communication, problem-solving, and exceptional service.

Qualifications:

Requirements

• 5+ years of estimating and/or project coordination experience within construction, building materials, distribution or related industries.

• Demonstrated ability to develop bid strategies using market intelligence and competitive analysis.
• Strong understanding of construction plans, specifications, takeoffs, and project documentation.
• Experience managing projects with extended timelines and navigating material pricing fluctuations.
• Proven ability to coordinate multiple projects simultaneously while maintaining attention to detail and customer satisfaction.
• Strong communication, negotiation, and relationship-building skills.
