About the Position

The company is seeking a Design-Build Estimator to join a growing team in Dallas, TX. This role will focus on conceptual and design-build estimating for warehouse and tilt-wall construction projects across the DFW metroplex.

  • Support budgeting, value engineering, and scope development efforts
  • Evaluate subcontractor and supplier pricing
  • Identify cost-saving opportunities and project risks early in the design phase
  • Assist in proposal development and client presentations
  • Maintain strong relationships with vendors, clients, and internal stakeholders

Requirements

  • Experience in electrical estimating, with a strong focus on design-build/conceptual estimating
  • Proven experience estimating warehouse and tilt-wall construction projects
  • Strong understanding of electrical systems, construction methods, and materials
  • Ability to interpret conceptual designs, drawings, and specifications
  • Bachelor’s degree in Construction Management, Engineering, or related field (preferred but not required)
  • 5+ years of relevant estimating experience (design-build environment strongly preferred)
  • Experience working on projects within the DFW metroplex

Benefits

  • Competitive base salary: $100,000 – $150,000 (based on experience)
  • Opportunity to work on high-profile industrial and warehouse projects in a strong market
