We are looking for a Construction Estimator to join a lean, hands-on general contracting team specializing in commercial retail and restaurant build-outs.

Issue RFQs to subcontractors and actively follow up to secure bid coverage.
Make outbound phone calls to subcontractors and build professional relationships with smaller trade contractors.
Collect, organize, and compare subcontractor quotations.
Perform bid leveling and compare subcontractor proposals scope-for-scope to identify gaps, exclusions, and discrepancies.
Review plans and specifications to identify scope requirements and potential issues.
Raise and track RFIs when drawings or specifications are unclear.
Manage multiple concurrent bids and maintain accurate status updates.
Report bid progress, subcontractor coverage, outstanding quotes, and deadlines to the project leadership team.
Learn and apply Chicago-specific construction codes, pricing, and union labor rates during the onboarding period.
What We're Looking For
3–10+ years of construction estimating experience, depending on level.
Strong background in commercial construction
