Estimator - Mission Critical Construction

About

Every mission critical project starts with a number, and right now U.S. general contractors cannot find enough estimators who can build that number on MEP-heavy work. If you can read a set of drawings and turn it into a bid that wins, at BuildCorridor we connect you directly with the firms doing this work. For candidates in Canada, Mexico, or Chile, we handle the visa and the move end to end, so you can focus on the estimate.

The work You build bids and budgets before construction starts: quantity takeoffs, material and labor pricing, subcontractor bid evaluation, conceptual estimates for early-stage pursuits, and historical cost data. On mission critical work, the MEP scope is the toughest part to price and the part that matters most.

What we look for

• Bachelor's in Construction Management or Engineering
• Estimating on data centers, heavy industrial, or pharma
• Real MEP estimating depth, not quantity takeoffs alone
• On-Screen Takeoff, Bluebeam, and conceptual estimating ability
• Comfortable across design-bid-build and design-build delivery
• Strong spoken English

Levels we are hiring for

• Mid Estimator, 5+ years: owns full estimates on mid-sized projects, leads MEP scope pricing
• Senior Estimator, 10+ years: runs bids on $50M+ projects, owns the cost database, presents to clients
• Chief Estimator / Director of Precon, 15+ years: owns the bid pipeline and pursuit strategy

Who this is for

You are in the U.S. and authorized to work, or in Canada, Mexico, or Chile and ready to relocate within a few months. We sponsor TN (Canada and Mexico) and H-1B1 (Chile) visas and run the full process.

What to expect

You are not applying to a single job. Our recruiting team gets to know you first: we check your background and credentials, assess your English, discuss preferred location and desired compensation range, and learn where you fit best so we can match you to the right opportunities. From there we present you directly to leading U.S. general contractors hiring for this work, and we stay with you through their technical interview and the offer. Once there is a match, we run the visa and relocation end to end, and keep supporting you after you join. No cost to you.
