Construction Estimator - 67724903699

An owner-operated construction company working on remodels, new builds, and commercial projects is looking for a skilled estimator to take estimating off the owner’s plate.

Estimating is the bottleneck for this team, and bids are being lost because the owner cannot keep up with estimating while running projects.
