About the role

Thornton Construction Company, a Miami-based construction management firm with 25+ years of experience, is seeking a Chief Estimator. You will lead the estimating team, manage preconstruction efforts, and drive cost accuracy across conceptual and GMP projects. You will collaborate with project managers, owners, architects, and subs to develop competitive bids, build cost histories, and support profitability with advanced estimation methods and industry best practices.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
