We are seeking a dynamic, strategic, and highly organized Senior Estimator / Operations Manager to bridge the gap between commercial viability and flawless project execution. In this dual-faceted role, you will hold the reins on both pre‑construction accuracy and day‑to‑day operational excellence.
You will lead our estimating efforts—ensuring competitive, accurate, and profitable bids—while simultaneously overseeing project lifecycles, resource allocation, and team performance. This is a pivotal leadership position designed for a seasoned professional who thrives on numbers but excels in leadership, client relations, and operational strategy.
Bid Management: Oversee the preparation of detailed, accurate material, labor, and time estimates for large‑scale projects.
Risk Assessment: Analyze project specifications, blueprints, and contract terms to identify potential risks and mitigation strategies.
Vendor Negotiations: Source, vet, and negotiate competitive pricing with subcontractors, suppliers, and vendors.
Project Oversight: Drive the execution phase of projects, ensuring delivery remains on schedule, within scope, and under budget.
Resource & Workflow Optimization: Manage internal teams, allocate labor efficiently, and streamline day‑to‑day operational workflows.
Quality & Compliance: Maintain stringent quality control standards and ensure all operations adhere to health, safety, and legal regulations.
Proven Experience: A minimum of 7–10 years of experience in senior estimating and project/operations management within the industry.
Technical Expertise: Mastery of modern estimating software, project management tools, and deep proficiency in reading blueprints, schematics, and technical specifications.
Commercial Acumen: Strong financial literacy with a proven track record of maintaining high‑profit margins and managing complex project budgets.
Leadership & Communication: Exceptional communication skills with the natural ability to negotiate, influence, and lead cross‑functional teams.
Problem‑Solving Mindset: A proactive approach to identifying bottlenecks, resolving conflicts, and adapting to shifting project timelines.
Qualifications: A Bachelor’s degree in Construction Management, Civil Engineering, Business Administration, or a related field (or equivalent hands‑on leadership experience).
Thor's Trees is an equal opportunities employer and we value diversity in our workplace. Please note that in addition to the administrative duties, this role includes responsibilities related to sales, such as generating leads and communicating with prospective clients.
