Chief Estimator

Adam Search Group is actively conducting a confidential search for a Chief Estimator on behalf of a highly respected and well-established construction client in the Pittsburgh market.

This is not just another estimating role. This is a seat-at-the-table leadership opportunity for someone who wants to influence strategy, drive preconstruction excellence, and play a direct role in the continued growth of a stable, reputable organization with exceptionally low turnover.

The Opportunity

The Chief Estimator will lead the estimating function, shape bid strategy, mentor and develop talent, and partner closely with executive leadership to position the company for continued success. This individual will have visibility, authority, and the ability to make a meaningful impact.

If you see estimating as both a science and an art — balancing numbers, risk, relationships, and market intelligence — this role was built for you.

What We’re Looking For

• Proven experience in senior-level estimating leadership

• Strong background in commercial construction (project type details can be shared confidentially)

• Demonstrated ability to lead teams and drive accountability

• Strategic mindset with strong business acumen

• Deep understanding of cost control, risk management, and market trends

• Respected industry presence and relationship builder

Why This Role Stands Out

• Established company with an outstanding reputation

• Leadership that values input and collaboration

• Low turnover and strong internal culture

• Long-term stability with growth trajectory

• Competitive compensation package aligned with experience
