About the Role

As a Junior Estimator (Intern), you’ll work alongside seasoned professionals to learn how damage assessment projects are scoped, budgeted, and evaluated. You’ll gain real-world experience both in the field and in the office — from visiting sites to gathering data to helping prepare cost estimates.

• Support the analysis of labor, materials, and timelines for project estimates.
• Help track costs and flag differences between projected and actual figures.
• Learn to prepare professional reports and data entries in estimating tools.
• Gain exposure to industry software like Xactimate, Bluebeam Revu, and project scheduling tools.

Requirements

• Currently pursuing a bachelor’s degree in civil engineering, construction management, or related field.
• Strong interest in construction consulting, estimating, and problem-solving.
• Comfortable working in both office and field environments.
• Detail-oriented, organized, and eager to learn.
• Willingness to travel locally and occasionally work at heights.

Physical Activities and Requirements

In addition to the working conditions and associated physical activities, the incumbent may be required to:

• Climb, balance, stoop, kneel, crouch, crawl, reach, stand, walk, push, pull, lift, finger, grasp, or feel, especially in the course of investigating and assessing property damage.
• Lift weights of up to 50 pounds, including a ladder, and climb ladders upwards of 30 feet.
• Perform tasks requiring close visual acuity, with or without correction, such as preparing reports, viewing a computer terminal, reading printed documents, making detailed visual inspections, perceiving color and depth, and having a sufficient field of vision to carry out all inspection and related duties.

Benefits

• Hands-on learning from experienced construction experts.
• Opportunities to build professional skills that set a foundation for your career.
• A collaborative, team-oriented environment.
