Certified golf course builder with more than four decades of hands-on experience delivering new builds and complex renovations across North America and worldwide. Our work ranges from championship new construction (e.g., Emirates Golf Club in Dubai; National Golf Club of Azerbaijan) to marquee renovations (e.g., Trump National Doral, Dorado Beach, Longboat Key) and full site development performed in-house. Headquarters: 4045 43rd Avenue, Vero Beach, FL. 

The Opportunity

We’re hiring an Estimator with golf course construction expertise to lead detailed quantity takeoffs, pricing, and proposal development for new builds, renovations, and site development (earthwork, drainage, irrigation, bunkers, tees/greens, paths, and utilities). Experience with AGTEK (earthwork takeoff/modeling) is preferred.

You’ll collaborate with project managers, superintendents, and shaping/irrigation teams to produce accurate, competitive bids that reflect TGC’s quality standards and global capabilities. 

What You’ll Do

• Scope & Takeoff
• Interpret golf architecture plans and specs; perform detailed takeoffs for mass earthwork, cut/fill, drainage, irrigation, bunker construction, greens/tees, cart paths, utilities, and landscaping.
• Build earthwork models and validate quantities; AGTEK proficiency strongly preferred.
• Pricing & Proposals
• Develop labor, equipment, and material pricing using historicals and vendor quotes; prepare clear, complete proposals and bid forms.
• Create alternates, clarifications, and value-engineering options (methods, phasing, materials) to improve cost and constructability.
• Sub/Vendor Management
• Solicit and level quotes from specialty partners (irrigation, drainage, liner systems, paths, landscaping) and equipment/material suppliers.
• Planning & Risk
• Support schedule logic and production rates; identify risks (geotechnical, logistics, weather, environmental) and propose mitigations.
• Coordinate site visits and pre-bid RFIs; align assumptions with field leadership and shaping teams.
• Handover & Support
• Prepare estimated summaries, takeoff back-up, and buy-out packages; support project kickoff and change-order pricing through early execution.

What You’ll Bring

• 3+ years estimating for golf course construction, heavy civil/earthwork, sports turf, or closely related sitework.
• Plan reading & quantity takeoff expertise across earthwork, drainage, and irrigation; understanding of golf course features and construction sequencing.
• Software: Strong Excel; AGTEK preferred; Bluebeam or similar for digital takeoff/review.
• Clear written/verbal communication; vendor negotiation; disciplined documentation.
• Willingness to travel to active and prospective project sites (U.S. and international as needed).

Nice to Have

• Experience with GPS machine control models and mass grading validation.
• Familiarity with GCBAA/GCSAA standards and best practices.
• Background supporting new construction and renovation bids on high-profile courses.
