Commercial Construction Estimator – Healthcare

Role Overview

• Prepare detailed cost estimates for healthcare construction projects across conceptual, schematic, design development, and GMP/bid phases
• Utilize AI estimating software and digital takeoff tools to enhance quantity accuracy, pricing consistency, and rapid scenario analysis
• Analyze drawings, specifications, and healthcare-specific requirements (e.g., AHCA, FGI Guidelines, ICRA) to define full project scope
• Develop estimates that account for phasing, infection control measures, interim life safety measures (ILSM), and work in occupied environments
• Solicit, evaluate, and level subcontractor bids with a focus on healthcare-experienced trade partners
• Act as a liaison between the design team and subcontractors by reviewing, clarifying, and helping resolve preconstruction and estimating-related RFI’s to ensure scope alignment and minimize gaps or overlaps along with maintaining and cataloguing all RFI’s and responses/clarifications.
• Collaborate with project managers, superintendents, and preconstruction teams to align estimates with logistics, sequencing, and patient care constraints
• Identify value engineering options that maintain compliance, patient safety, and operational continuity
• Build and maintain cost databases specific to healthcare construction, including historical data and AI-assisted cost models
• Support preparation of proposals, budgets, and client presentations for healthcare clients and stakeholders
• Track estimate performance versus actual costs to continuously refine estimating accuracy
• Assist in proposal preparation, bid submissions, and client presentations

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Construction Management, Engineering, or related field (or equivalent experience)
• 5+ years of estimating experience in commercial construction, with a strong focus on healthcare projects
• Hands-on experience with AI estimating tools, automated takeoff platforms, or data-driven estimating systems
• Strong proficiency in Excel and estimating software (e.g., Bluebeam, PlanSwift, Procore, or similar)
• In-depth understanding of healthcare construction standards, codes, and compliance requirements
• Ability to read and interpret complex construction documents with a high level of accuracy

Benefits

• Medical, dental, and vision plans
• 401(k) plan with company match up to 5%
• Paid Time Off (PTO) and Paid Holidays
