Speedwell Construction is a general contractor specializing in various construction sectors.
The Estimator prepares competitive bids for assigned commercial construction projects, including hard‑bid, negotiated, and design‑build opportunities. This role is central to the preconstruction process, evaluating project documents, obtaining subcontractor pricing, and fostering strong industry relationships.
The position is based in a dynamic office setting with occasional field visits for site assessments and pre‑bid meetings, requiring appropriate personal protective equipment when on‑site. Primary work is desk‑based, with occasional lifting of up to 15 lb and climbing ladders or navigating uneven surfaces during site visits.
A high school diploma or equivalent is required, along with a basic understanding of construction methods, materials, terminology, and general IT literacy. Preferred qualifications include two or more years of construction estimating experience and proficiency with Viewpoint, Bluebeam, Office 365, and bid software such as SmartBid. A valid driver’s license and successful completion of a drug screen and Motor Vehicle Record check are mandatory.
Core competencies include a positive attitude, strong interpersonal and communication skills, teamwork, customer focus, professionalism, organization, adaptability, punctuality, dependability, initiative, application of learning, and persistence. While the role has no direct supervisory duties, the Estimator may act as a mentor or resource for colleagues.
This is an exempt, full‑time role with a standard schedule of Monday‑Friday, minimum 40 hours per week. Travel to project sites, pre‑bid meetings, or training events is occasional, and a company vehicle is provided for business‑related travel.
