Commercial Estimator / Project Manager

Job Description

Job Description

Description:

Southwest Building Solutions is a fast-growing commercial and metal building contractor based in Arizona. We are building something significant — and we are looking for an experienced Commercial Estimator / Project Manager to help lead that growth.

This is not an entry-level role. We are looking for a seasoned professional who can own commercial estimating, manage projects from preconstruction through closeout, and help us build out our commercial division the right way.

If you are detail-oriented, numbers-driven, and thrive on accountability and results — keep reading.

What You’ll Be Responsible For

• Preparing accurate, detailed commercial estimates using historical cost data and current market pricing
• Leading projects from bid through completion — schedule, budget, scope, and client communication
• Reviewing blueprints, specifications, and contracts with precision
• Participating in preconstruction planning and value engineering
• Negotiating with vendors and subcontractors
• Tracking project performance against estimates and identifying cost trends
• Working directly with ownership on strategy, systems, and process improvements
• Maintaining profitability targets and protecting margin

This role will evolve into a leadership position as the commercial division grows.

What We’re Looking For

• 5+ years of commercial estimating and project management experience
• Strong background in commercial construction (metal building experience strongly preferred)
• Proven ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously
• High-level blueprint reading and takeoff skills
• Proficiency with estimating and project management software
• Strong financial acumen and understanding of job cost control
• Excellent communication and client management skills
• Stable employment history — we value long-term commitment

Compensation & Benefits

• Competitive base salary based on experience
• Performance-based bonus opportunities
• Cell phone reimbursement
• Medical, dental, vision

• Group Term Life Insurance
• 401(k) with company match
• Paid time off

Why Southwest Building Solutions?

We are a values-driven company built on growth, accountability, and strong relationships. We are not looking to hire someone to simply “fill a role.” We are hiring someone to help build the commercial side of our company for the long term.

If you are looking for a place where your experience matters, your decisions have impact, and you can help shape something meaningful — we’d like to talk.
