Location: Austin, TX

Employment Type: Full-Time, In-Office M-F

Salary: $70K + 10–15% performance-based bonus

Benefits: Fully paid medical for employee & dependents, 50/50 dental & vision, 401(k) with 6% match, unlimited PTO + 9 company holidays

About the Role

We are seeking a Residential Construction Estimator / Cost Estimator to join our operations team. This role focuses on financial analysis, budgeting, and cost management for custom residential construction projects. You will investigate cost variances, identify opportunities to save money, and negotiate with vendors and trade partners.

This is not a field-based construction role. While occasional offsite meetings with contractors may occur, most work is office-based, supporting the operations and finance aspects of residential projects.

Key Responsibilities

  • Analyze budgets, cost variances, and project financials
  • Investigate causes of cost slippage and recommend operational improvements
  • Manage relationships with vendors and trades, negotiate rates, and maintain strong partnerships
  • Provide financial insights to support strategic decision-making
  • Collaborate with operations leadership to track and forecast project costs

Qualifications

  • 2–5 years of experience in residential construction, preferably in custom-home building
  • Bilingual in Spanish and English
  • Strong skills in budgeting, forecasting, and financial analysis
  • Exceptional communication and negotiation abilities
  • Degree or equivalent experience in construction, engineering, or related field
  • Experience with production builders is acceptable but must adapt to a custom-home approach

Team & Work Environment

  • Part of a 6-person operations team including leadership
  • Full-time in-office for initial 6 months (hybrid possible afterward)
  • Occasional offsite contractor meetings for relationship building

Compensation & Benefits

  • Salary: $70K–$75K
  • Bonus: 10–15% annual salary
  • Medical Insurance: Fully paid for employee and dependents (Cigna OAP)
  • Dental & Vision: 50/50 coverage for employee
  • 401(k): 6% match
  • Time Off: Unlimited PTO + 9 company holidays
