The Company
ColoradoCrete is the market leader for gypsum underlayment systems and leveling services in Colorado. With decades of shared industry experience, they are a trusted partner to General Contractors across the residential and commercial construction markets.
They operate in a highly specialized area of construction, providing solutions that require technical expertise, precision, and strong coordination between the team and its customers. While their work is specialized, they don't expect candidates to come in with direct gypsum underlayment experience. They're looking for great construction professionals who can learn the product and bring strong estimating and operational expertise to the business.
ColoradoCrete is a lean, experienced team where people have direct access to senior leadership and the opportunity to make a meaningful impact. As the company continues to grow, they're looking for people who want to take ownership, improve how things are done, and help build what's next.
The Position
ColoradoCrete is seeking an experienced, operations-minded Senior Estimator to take ownership of estimating for residential and commercial construction projects across Colorado.
This is more than a traditional desk-based estimating position. We’re looking for someone who understands how construction actually happens in the field and can connect estimating decisions to project execution. The Senior Estimator will review plans, develop accurate and competitive bids, communicate directly with General Contractors, and partner closely with the operations team as projects move from estimate through completion.
Direct experience with ColoradoCrete’s specific products is not required. What matters most is significant construction experience, strong estimating fundamentals, operational judgment, and the ability to confidently own projects and relationships.
Responsibilities
- Own the estimating process for residential and commercial construction projects, developing accurate and competitive estimates and proposals.
- Review construction drawings, architectural plans, technical specifications, and bid documents to fully understand project scope and requirements.
- Perform detailed quantity takeoffs and determine material, labor, equipment, and other project costs.
- Develop project budgets and pricing while identifying potential risks, scope gaps, and cost considerations before bids are submitted.
- Manage multiple estimates and bid opportunities simultaneously while maintaining accuracy, organization, and responsiveness.
- Communicate directly with General Contractors to conduct scope reviews, clarify project requirements, answer questions, and support the bidding process.
- Partner closely with leadership and operations to transition awarded projects successfully from estimating into execution.
- Provide project management support as needed, helping ensure scope, schedule, budget, and customer expectations remain aligned.
- Maintain accurate estimating, project, change order, and contract documentation.
- Utilize platforms such as Procore, Autodesk, and Buildertrend to access plans, ITBs, and project information, along with ColoradoCrete’s proprietary scheduling and customer management systems.
- Bring a practical, field-oriented perspective to estimating and identify opportunities to improve processes, efficiency, and profitability.
- Build strong relationships with General Contractors, customers, vendors, and internal team members.
Qualifications
- 10+ years of experience in construction, with significant experience in estimating, project management, field operations, or a combination of these areas.
- Proven ability to develop accurate construction estimates, budgets, bids, and proposals through an organized estimating process.
- Strong ability to read and interpret construction drawings, blueprints, specifications, and technical documents.
- Solid understanding of construction sequencing, labor, materials, scheduling, and field operations.
- Experience working for a General Contractor, specialty contractor, or larger construction organization is highly valued.
- Bidding and preconstruction experience is strongly preferred.
- Strong proficiency with Microsoft Office, particularly Excel, and comfort learning construction and estimating technology.
- Excellent communication skills with the ability to confidently interact with General Contractors, customers, field teams, and senior leadership.
- Highly organized and capable of managing multiple projects and priorities without sacrificing attention to detail.
- Practical, operations-minded approach with a willingness to be hands-on and engaged in the day-to-day business.
- Experience with gypsum underlayment or specialty concrete is not required.
