Job Description

Senior Cost Estimator / Project Manager

Salary: $140,000 - $165,000 (Full-Time)

Location: Washington, D.C.

Who You Are:

You’re a seasoned senior cost estimator / project manager who knows the D.C. architecture and engineering scene like the back of your hand, with a great local network and 10+ years of experience in pre-construction.

You wont be just number crunching as you will be the bridge between technical teams and clients, a mentor to junior staff, and the person people rely on when things get complicated.

What You’ll Do:

  • Lead complex pre-construction projects from start to finish.
  • Be the go-to for clients—building relationships, identifying project needs, and keeping things on track.
  • Manage project teams, assign tasks, and ensure deadlines are met without the drama.
  • Handle quantity take-offs, budget estimates, and make sure projects don’t bleed cash.
  • Visit sites, attend pre-bid meetings, and face contractors when needed.
  • Mentor entry-level estimators, helping them grow without hand-holding.

What You Need:

  • 10+ years in pre-construction or construction project operations.
  • A Bachelor's in Construction Management , Engineering, or something similar.
  • Deep technical knowledge of construction systems— civil, structural, MEP, interiors, exteriors.
  • Solid leadership skills. You can manage people without micromanaging.
  • Strong communication skills. Clear, concise, and client-friendly.
  • Proficiency in estimating software and a knack for problem-solving.

What’s In It For You:

  • Work on projects that actually matter.
  • Career growth without the corporate ladder nonsense.
  • A team that values collaboration over office politics.
  • Competitive salary.
  • Solid benefits, full med/dental/vision/401k and flexible work options.
