New Jersey · On-site · Full-time · Public-works general contractor
About Us
Brockwell & Carrington Contractors is an established New Jersey public-works general contractor. We bid and build public projects ranging from $15M to $100M, with an emphasis on expanding our portfolio in the $30 to $40M range. We are growing our estimating team.
The Role
We are seeking a Senior Construction Estimator to lead public bids from start to finish: bid/no-bid review, subcontractor solicitation and coverage, scope development, pricing, bid-day submission, and buyout. This is a senior role reporting to the President.
What You’ll Own
▪ Bid strategy from the start. Review plans, specifications, and addenda; run the go/no-go decision; and set the plan to be competitive on each pursuit.
▪ Subcontractor coverage on the major trades. Own the outreach on MEP, steel, foundation/civil/structure, and envelope — make the calls yourself, build the relationships, and drive real, comparable numbers, not a single quote per trade.
▪ Scope, leveling, and pricing. Build the scope basis, level quotes apples-to-apples, and price the self-perform and general-conditions work that does not come from a subcontractor.
▪ The complete bid package. RFIs and addenda, the proposal and front-end forms, bid bond and listed-subcontractor paperwork, final assembly, and delivery on bid day — with the final number set alongside ownership.
▪ Post-bid and buyout. Recap and debrief each bid, and carry awarded work into a profitable buyout.
What You Bring
▪ New Jersey public-works GC estimating experience — required. Eight or more years of construction estimating with a general contractor, including real public lump-sum bidding under NJ Local Public Contracts Law: listed subcontractors, bid and performance bonds, consent of surety, prevailing wage, DPMC where applicable. This is a public-works role and public GC experience is the core requirement.
▪ The ability to run a bid independently. A verifiable track record of accuracy and profitability, and the self-direction to carry a project end to end without a task list handed to you.
▪ An active subcontractor network. Current relationships across the major trades in New Jersey that you will use to drive coverage from day one.
▪ Full command of the documents. Fluent reading plans, specifications, addenda, and bid forms; working knowledge of structural, civil, and MEP systems, building codes, and construction means and methods; comfortable with CPM scheduling; strong Microsoft Excel.
▪ Clear, confident communication. With subcontractors, owners, and internally — you can negotiate scope and price, and you present a number you stand behind.
A plus, but not required: $30M+ PLA public-project experience; some public work in Rockland, Westchester, or Orange County, NY (a market we are entering); and private / commercial contacts to complement your public network.
What We Offer
▪ Compensation. $165,000 - $200,000 base, commensurate with experience and the strength of your network.
▪ Benefits. Employer-paid medical for the employee (Horizon BCBSNJ), dental, a SIMPLE IRA with employer match up to 3%, company-paid life insurance, paid time off (two weeks of vacation to start), and paid holidays.
▪ The seat. Real ownership of the estimating function, a defined process and modern tooling behind you, and a direct line to ownership — room to be the engine of the department, not a cog in a machine.
Location: on-site at our New Jersey main office, with occasional, infrequent site visits as needed. xhqgsiq
