Job Description

If you’re a seasoned steel estimator with extensive experience in steel structures, who thrives on complex projects, tight coordination, and crafting accurate bids that win work, this is the role where your expertise truly makes an impact.

You would be working for our client, an AISC Certified Steel Fabricator and Advanced Steel Erector based in Austin, TX , that takes pride in delivering high-quality structural steel projects and non-building steel structures, with a strong focus on safety, craftsmanship, and excellence.

You’ll work directly with design documents, general contractors, and vendors to develop competitive proposals that set projects up for success. This position offers autonomy, support, and room to grow, alongside a team that values accuracy, clear communication, and craftsmanship.

What You’ll Do

  • Develop precise material and labor takeoffs for structural steel projects using drawings and specifications.
  • Build clear, accurate cost models including materials, shop / field labor, equipment, and buyout items.
  • Partner with general contractors to clarify requirements, timelines, and bid questions.
  • Request, evaluate, and compare vendor and supplier pricing.
  • Review drawings for accuracy, scope gaps, and cost-impacting changes.
  • Prepare written scopes of work, inclusions, exclusions, and bid qualifications.
  • Manage estimating schedules, bid deadlines, and follow-ups with GC partners on award status.
  • Support smooth project handoff to internal PMs after award.

What You Bring

  • 5+ years of estimating experience in structural or industrial steel fabrication
  • Strong ability to interpret structural and architectural drawings with accuracy
  • Proficiency in Excel and familiarity with tools like Bluebeam or On-Screen Takeoff
  • Clear and professional written and verbal communication skills
  • Strong analytical judgment and ability to identify scope gaps before they become risks
  • Steady, solutions-driven approach to managing deadlines and multiple bids
  • Why Top Estimators Love This Role

  • Your accuracy drives real business outcomes.
  • Your input is valued from the first drawing review to the final award.
  • You get the tools, clarity, and support needed to perform at a high level.
  • Join a culture where integrity, craftsmanship, and professionalism still matter.
  • Benefits

  • 401(k) with employer match
  • Medical, dental, and vision coverage
  • HSA option
  • Company-paid life & disability insurance
  • PTO and paid volunteer hours
  • Wellness and employee assistance programs
  • Provided PPE and safety gear
  • If you’re ready to bring your estimating expertise to a team that values your skills and offers real growth opportunities, we’d love to hear from you.

    They are an equal opportunity employer and value diversity at our company, and they do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability status.
