Estimator

About the Role

At SSRG, we're looking for an Estimator who can support the estimating team with accurate takeoffs, organized cost information, bid preparation, and the follow-through that supports high-quality service and organizational growth. You build the numbers behind confident decisions, turning plans, specifications, pricing, and project information into accurate estimates that help teams understand what it will take to build the work right. You're detail-oriented, analytical, eager to learn, and ready to grow alongside experienced estimators while supporting projects of varying levels.

A Legacy of Building Careers: At Structural Systems Repair Group, we thrive on taking on challenges and solving problems that others might consider impossible.

That’s why we emphasize balance, supporting both professional growth and personal fulfillment. Our culture thrives on celebrating victories together, encouraging growth, and making a lasting impact on our clients and community. At SSRG, we’re not just preserving and restoring structures; we’re building a legacy of quality, integrity, and purpose.
