Arch Street Glass has methodically revolutionized the delivery model for glass construction and corporate interior fit-outs (www.archstreetglass.com). Honored by the Boston Business Journal as a 2023 and 2024 "Best Places to Work", we are a rapidly growing private company located in downtown Boston and currently seeking motivated, detail-oriented individuals to join our Preconstruction operation.
This is a unique opportunity to become part of a great team, participate in a highly collaborative environment, and gain outstanding industry training. While the role will primarily involve estimating, the desired individual will be wearing many hats and taking on a variety of responsibilities over time.

Responsibilities • Compile and organize project-related documents, drawings, and quotes. • Read and interpret construction drawings and specifications to determine project scope. • Complete detailed independent takeoffs and gather relevant product quotes. • Communicate with architects, designers, and general contractors to solve problems / find creative and practical solutions. • Evaluate pricing and prepare detailed estimates and bid proposals for multiple concurrent projects. • Load project data and bid information into Procore's Project Management module. • Collaborate within the estimating team to coordinate meetings and tasks with your peers.
This may be the job for you if: • You've earned a Bachelor's degree or equivalent. A GPA of 3.4 or above is preferred and a degree in the field of construction or design is a plus. • You're a team player, but are comfortable working independently and can keep a level head under pressure. • You can multi-task and complete assignments under tight deadlines. • You write well and speak powerfully. You can explain complex situations with ease. • You are attentive and conscientious. You are willing to take personal responsibility for your work and are interested and invested in expanding your industry knowledge. • Familiarity with Microsoft Excel, Procore, and Bluebeam is a plus.
