The role of Project Estimator at RPD is not just a job, but is a great career, full of purpose and challenge. The estimating team is responsible for maintaining client relationships, procuring the work that keeps the entire company going, and for facilitating growth which provides opportunities for everyone. RPD is a growing company with about 100 employees, so there is a lot of responsibility on the estimating team to keep the work coming.
Estimating requires a unique personality and skillset. It is a deadline-driven endeavor that is like trying to solve a puzzle for which you don't always have all the pieces. So, it can be a high stress environment.
Counting and crunching numbers is the easy part. An estimator spends most of their time in the office, either studying plans or staring at a computer screen. Understanding the work that we do is most important because you must build the project in your mind while arriving at the cost to do it. We have a proven process that provides reliable results.
Quality subcontractor and material vendor relationships must also be built and maintained. The job requires immense focus, diligence, and stamina, in conjunction with great organization and communication skills.
The culture of RPD is unique. We are a team of highly capable, hard working people who understand and appreciate the value of the people we employ. Our highest priority is to provide opportunities for our employees to learn, grow and become more valuable.
We are willing and eager to train anyone who will be a good fit for this position. But we want to make sure that the rigors of the position are understood.
