Location: Plano, Texas
Compensation: $160,000 to $180,000
Company Overview
Tiello has partnered with an established general contractor delivering large-scale ground-up commercial and industrial construction projects throughout the Southwest. The company is seeking an experienced Senior Estimator to join its preconstruction team in Plano, Texas.
Role Summary
The Senior Estimator will lead estimating efforts for ground-up tilt-up commercial and industrial construction projects. This individual will manage estimates from early conceptual budgeting through GMP and final pricing while partnering with subcontractors, design teams, project executives, and operations.
The successful candidate must have direct estimating experience with a general contractor and a proven background estimating ground-up tilt-up commercial or industrial projects.
Project Type
Ground-up tilt-up commercial and industrial construction, including warehouses, distribution centers, manufacturing facilities, industrial parks, and other large-scale commercial or industrial buildings.
Job Responsibilities
- Lead conceptual, schematic, design-development, and GMP estimating efforts.
- Prepare detailed quantity takeoffs and cost estimates for ground-up tilt-up commercial and industrial projects.
- Analyze drawings, specifications, proposals, and other project documents.
- Solicit, evaluate, and level subcontractor and supplier bids.
- Develop value-engineering options and cost-saving recommendations.
- Participate in design meetings and provide preconstruction guidance.
- Prepare bid packages, scope sheets, and estimate summaries for leadership review.
- Maintain historical cost data and current market-pricing information.
- Assist with budgeting, scheduling, procurement planning, and project buyout activities.
- Collaborate with operations teams to ensure a smooth project turnover.
Qualifications / Requirements
- At least seven years of estimating experience directly with a general contractor.
- Direct experience estimating ground-up tilt-up commercial or industrial construction is required.
- Experience estimating warehouses, distribution centers, manufacturing facilities, industrial parks, or comparable large-scale commercial and industrial projects.
- Strong conceptual estimating, quantity takeoff, subcontractor buyout, and bid-leveling capabilities.
- Established relationships with subcontractors and trade partners throughout the Dallas-Fort Worth market.
- Ability to read and interpret architectural, structural, civil, and MEP drawings.
- Proficiency with Bluebeam, On-Screen Takeoff, BuildingConnected, Procore, and Microsoft Office.
- Strong communication, organization, and relationship-building skills.
- Bachelor’s degree in Construction Management, Engineering, Architecture, or a related discipline is preferred.
- Candidates without direct general-contractor estimating experience on ground-up tilt-up commercial or industrial projects will not be considered. Residential, multifamily, tenant-improvement, civil, and specialty-subcontractor experience will not meet the requirements for this position.
