Senior Construction Estimator: A Career of Precision and Influence
If you are ready to bring your estimating expertise to a collaborative, high-performance environment, a Senior Construction Estimator role in Rocklin, California, might be the ideal next move. This opportunity is more than a job—it’s a strategic leadership role that allows you to directly shape the trajectory of impactful public sector and educational construction projects.
Why This Role Stands Out
As a direct-hire position, the Senior Construction Estimator role offers a competitive salary of $100,000–$180,000 per year, depending on experience. Beyond the paycheck, the position opens the door to high-profile projects—some reaching up to $60M—and offers the chance to lead estimating efforts that lay the foundation for successful construction execution.
What makes this opportunity even more attractive is the company’s culture of professionalism, character, and continuous improvement. They don’t just build—they innovate, collaborate, and celebrate success through a “work hard, play hard” philosophy.
The role also comes with a robust benefits package:
- Employer-paid medical, dental, and vision insurance
- 401(k) with employer match
- Paid holidays and PTO
- Adventure outings like skiing and white-water rafting
- Professional development opportunities in a growth-focused team
Responsibilities That Define the Job
As a Senior Estimator, your day will include:
- Collaborating with preconstruction teams to produce conceptual, budget, and GMP estimates
- Leading subcontractor solicitation and conducting project job walks
- Preparing accurate takeoffs and competitive bids
- Clarifying scopes, scheduling timelines, and identifying procurement needs
- Presenting confident, data-driven estimates to clients and internal teams
- Conducting constructability reviews and value engineering analyses
- Providing mentorship and training to junior estimators
This role places you at the heart of project viability, requiring both technical precision and strategic vision.
Who Thrives in This Role?
The ideal candidate is a detail-oriented leader with:
- 5–10 years of construction estimating experience, especially with K–12 public school projects
- A proven ability to lead competitive lump sum bids and conceptual estimates
- Experience with preconstruction through post-estimate knowledge management
- Strong collaboration skills across clients, subcontractors, and design teams
- Comfort presenting estimates and navigating project scope negotiations
A degree in Construction Management, Engineering, or Architecture is preferred, but equivalent experience will be considered.
Tech-savviness is also essential. Familiarity with BlueBeam, Microsoft Project, and Procore will set you apart, especially if you have worked with 5D estimating or Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) methods.
Join a Company That Builds More Than Buildings
This is not just another estimating role—it’s a chance to become a strategic player in a company committed to building lasting relationships, strong communities, and rewarding careers.
If you want to be part of a company where your work makes a tangible impact—and where your growth is actively supported—this Senior Estimator role in Rocklin, CA, is calling.
