The Opportunity
ConstructConnects Takeoff Services team partners with customers to deliver completed quantity takeoffs as a finished actionable deliverable. We are hiring a Senior Construction Estimator to anchor the operational quality of that service and provide expert guidance to our internal product development organization.
This is a hybrid role. You will be responsible for leading and guiding internal estimators on end-to-end customer takeoffs ensuring deliverables meet the standard a paying interior contractor would accept without rework. You will also partner with Product: testing pre-release AI capabilities identifying where automation falls short and feeding that signal into our product and engineering teams so the next release closes the gap.
Responsibilities
What Youll Be Doing
Customer Takeoff Delivery

- Coordinate the work queue: triage incoming requests assign across internal and contracted estimators and protect customer turnaround commitments.
- Provide technical direction to our estimator team. Run informal 1:1s as needed for coaching calibration and unblocking. Set the quality bar review work and surface persistent issues.
- Serve as the escalation point for ambiguous scope drawing interpretation calls and customer questions on deliverables.
AI Quality and Product Feedback Loop
- Test pre-release AI features and new trade models against real projects before they reach customers. Produce structured before/after evaluations.
- Provide objective comparative evaluations of our tools capabilities relative to other industry options to identify capability gaps and inform improvement priorities.
Product Roadmap Influence
