Estimator - Tampa Bldgs
We are seeking an experienced Estimator to support building construction projects in the Tampa area. The successful candidate will be responsible for preparing accurate, competitive estimates for commercial, residential, and/or institutional building work from initial enquiry through to contract award. This role requires strong technical understanding, attention to detail, and the ability to interpret drawings, specifications, schedules, and other tender documentation.
Key responsibilities include reviewing project plans and scope requirements; completing quantity take-offs and material measurements; obtaining and evaluating subcontractor and supplier quotations; developing detailed labour, material, equipment, and subcontractor cost estimates; and identifying exclusions, assumptions, risks, and potential value-engineering opportunities. You will maintain organised estimating files, prepare bid summaries and proposal documents, and collaborate with project managers, architects, engineers, procurement teams, and field personnel to clarify requirements and improve cost accuracy. The Estimator will also assist with bid presentations, handover meetings, budget updates, change order pricing, and post-bid analysis as required.
Applicants should have previous estimating experience within the building or general construction sector, with a strong understanding of construction methods, materials, local pricing, and subcontractor markets. Proficiency with estimating software, spreadsheets, and digital plan-review or take-off tools is expected. The ability to read and interpret architectural, structural, civil, and MEP drawings is essential, along with strong numerical, analytical, organisational, and communication skills. A relevant qualification in construction management, quantity surveying, engineering, or a related discipline is advantageous. Candidates must be able to manage multiple deadlines, work independently and collaboratively, and demonstrate sound commercial judgement. Experience estimating projects in the Tampa market and knowledge of applicable building codes, regulations, and contract requirements will be highly regarded.
