Senior Estimator – Commercial Construction

New York City | $200,000 - $250,000 Excellent Benefits

The Opportunity

A highly respected Construction Manager is seeking an experienced Senior Estimator to join their team. This is a prime opportunity for professionals who thrive in preconstruction, conceptual estimating, and negotiated CM work rather than traditional hard-bid environments.

If you have a deep understanding of cost planning, value engineering, and subcontractor coordination within a CM model, this role offers the chance to work on high-profile commercial projects while being a key driver of preconstruction success.

Role Overview

  • Leading the preconstruction & estimating process for complex commercial projects
  • Developing accurate conceptual and schematic budgets to guide project feasibility
  • Collaborating with owners, architects, and subcontractors to provide cost analysis and value engineering solutions
  • Managing trade coverage, bid leveling, and risk assessment to ensure competitive pricing
  • Reviewing project scopes, schedules, and constructability for feasibility
  • Utilizing CM methodologies to guide cost planning & procurement strategies

Experience Required

  • 7 years of estimating experience in commercial construction
  • Strong knowledge of CM-at-risk & negotiated work (not traditional hard-bid estimating)
  • Expertise in budgeting, cost modeling, and trade buyout strategies
  • Experience working on NYC-based projects with strong subcontractor relationships
  • Proficiency in estimating software (Procore, On-Screen Takeoff, Sage, or similar)
  • Ability to present cost analysis and value engineering recommendations to clients
  • What’s in It for You

  • 200,000 - $250,000 base salary performance-based incentives
  • Excellent benefits package & long-term career stability
  • Opportunity to work on high-profile, complex commercial projects
  • Leadership role with direct client engagement & impact on project success
  • Stability in a well-established CM firm with a strong pipeline of negotiated work
  • Salary : $200,000 - $250,000
