Senior Construction Estimator | Commercial Construction (Long Island) Long Island, NY

Full-Time
On-Site
$150,000 to $200,000 + Full Benefits

A Long Island-based commercial construction and development firm (over five decades in business, family-founded, and growing) is hiring a Senior Estimator to lead preconstruction and help shape how the company pursues and wins work.

This is a leadership seat, not a desk in the corner. You’ll run complex estimates from conceptual budget through final bid across a genuinely varied portfolio, with real influence over the systems, cost data, and strategy behind every pursuit. They’re clear about it: they’re not looking for someone to just put numbers together, they want someone who thinks critically, flags risk early, creates value for clients, and helps drive the business forward.

✨ Why this role

A true leadership position in preconstruction, with a direct line to Operations, Project Management, and Executive Leadership

Real sector variety: industrial, multifamily, education, hospitality, self-storage, office, and commercial, so you’re not estimating the same box twice

A mandate to build: help develop the estimating systems, processes, and historical cost database as the company scales

Stability and momentum together: a family-founded firm with 50+ years behind it and a growing pipeline ahead

A culture that runs on accountability, transparency, and teamwork, with a stated focus on a world-class client experience

What you’ll do

Lead estimating and preconstruction for commercial projects across multiple sectors

Prepare conceptual, schematic, GMP, negotiated, and hard-bid estimates

Run comprehensive quantity takeoffs and scope analysis

Review drawings, specs, and documents for completeness, constructability, and risk

Solicit, evaluate, and level subcontractor and vendor proposals

Develop value engineering recommendations and cost-saving strategies

Support budgeting, procurement, and subcontractor buyouts

Join client, preconstruction, and design coordination meetings

Mentor junior estimators and build up the estimating team

Strengthen subcontractor and vendor relationships

Help build and improve estimating systems and historical cost data

What you bring

~10+ years of commercial construction estimating experience (preferred)

~ Strong grasp of construction means and methods across multiple asset classes

~ Ability to run large, complex estimates independently

~ Sharp analytical, problem-solving, and organizational skills

~ Confidence managing multiple deadlines in a fast-paced environment

~ Experience with conceptual estimating, GMP development, and value engineering

~ Proficiency in Microsoft Office and estimating software

~ Excellent communication and leadership skills

~ Bachelor’s in Construction Management, Engineering, Architecture, or related field (preferred)
