Senior Estimator | Elford Construction | Columbus

Elford Construction is looking for a Senior Estimator (10+ years) to help lead pursuit strategy and pricing across major projects in the Columbus market. This role is about more than takeoffs. Our estimators help shape how projects are pursued, priced, and won — working closely with operations, trade partners, and clients from early concept through final submission.

If you enjoy building accurate budgets, solving complex pricing challenges, and helping teams win meaningful work, this could be a great fit.

At Elford, estimators are trusted partners in the pursuit process — bringing market insight, strong subcontractor relationships, and creative problem-solving to every project.

What You’ll Do

• Lead estimating efforts from conceptual budgeting through final pricing and subcontractor buyout
• Develop conceptual and detailed cost estimates based on schematic, design development, and construction documents
• Perform quantity takeoffs, cost analysis, and pricing evaluations across all major scopes of work
• Build and maintain strong relationships with subcontractors, vendors, and trade partners
• Coordinate with operations, project management, and field leadership to align estimating strategies with project execution
• Evaluate subcontractor proposals, conduct bid reviews, and prepare bid leveling and award recommendations
• Identify opportunities for value engineering, cost efficiencies, and schedule improvements
• Prepare clear and well-organized estimate presentations for leadership and clients
• Participate in project pursuits, proposals, and client presentations
• Track market trends, trade partner capacity, and material pricing that impact project costs

What We’re Looking For

• 10+ years of construction estimating experience, preferably in commercial construction
• Experience estimating negotiated work, GMP projects, and competitive bids
• Strong knowledge of construction means, methods, materials, and labor productivity
• Ability to prepare conceptual budgets and detailed estimates from incomplete design information
• Experience managing the bidding process, subcontractor outreach, and bid evaluations
• Strong communication skills and the ability to work collaboratively with internal teams and external partners
• Proficiency with estimating software and digital takeoff tools
• Experience with Microsoft Office and construction management software
• Bachelor’s degree in Construction Management, Engineering, or related field is a plus
