Job Description

ABOUT US

We exist to create remarkable experiences — not just through the projects we deliver, but in the way we show up for our clients, partners, and each other every day. We believe that how we build is just as important as what we build, and our purpose is rooted in people. Whether it's a trusted partner we’ve worked with for decades or a new team member stepping onto their first jobsite, we approach every relationship with care, clarity, and commitment.

We’re a commercial general contractor and construction management company with more than 1,200 team members and a track record of delivering some of the most complex and high-profile projects in the country — from semiconductor and healthcare facilities to professional sports venues and high-end hospitality.

We have grown steadily for over a century — now with offices in Utah, Arizona, and Idaho — and we’re entering one of the most exciting chapters in our company’s history. We’re building more than projects. We’re building careers, capabilities, and momentum for the future. And we’re looking for passionate, driven people who want to be part of it.

ABOUT THIS OPPORTUNITY

As an Estimator, your role is pivotal in shaping the success of our projects from the very beginning. You’ll take the lead in developing proactive estimates—whether for a single project or multiple ones—by performing quantity takeoffs, supporting pricing efforts, engaging with bidders, and helping move the project from concept to contract.

We know that accuracy matters deeply to you, and your commitment to delivering precise cost estimates is something we truly value. If you're stepping into the Senior Estimator role, your creativity becomes even more essential. Each project brings its own challenges and opportunities, and your ability to tailor your approach—to both the takeoff and the presentation—ensures that our estimates are not only complete, but thoughtfully crafted.

Above all, your work reflects the integrity and excellence that define our core values. You’re not just estimating numbers—you’re helping build trust, clarity, and confidence in everything we do.

We’re excited to learn more about you and how you approach this important work.
