- Manage change order pricing, contract scope verification, and relationship development from concept to handoff
What You Bring: - Four-year degree preferred OR at least 5 years of construction experience with 2+ years in estimating
- Experience with waterproofing systems and building envelope scopes
- Strong understanding of construction methods, materials, codes, moisture control, and wind pressure standards
- Ability to read and interpret architectural and construction documents

Why Join This Team: - Base salary of $70,000–$90,000

- Health, dental, and vision insurance
- 401(k) with company match
