We're representing a well-established commercial/institutional construction firm based in Northeast Ohio that's growing rapidly and investing heavily in its preconstruction capability. They're seeking a Senior Estimator/Preconstruction Manager to lead estimating and preconstruction efforts on major projects across commercial, healthcare, education, and institutional markets.

What You'll Do

1. Lead full-scope estimating, cost modeling, and preconstruction strategy for complex bids

3. Advanced skills in cost estimating, value engineering, and scope development
4. Familiarity with software tools (Procore, Bluebeam, takeoff software, etc.)
5. Strength in leadership, communication, and collaboration across teams

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

1. A firm with decades of regional presence and strong client loyalty
2. Work on meaningful, high-impact projects across diverse markets
