We are seeking to add a quality focused and experienced Project Estimator/Supplementer to our team.   Our ideal candidate would be an individual who used to be an insurance adjuster familiar in writing Xactimate estimates or someone currently working as an estimator for a construction company but wanting to step up and join a stronger company with much more opportunity.  We are forecasting upwards of a thousand projects for the 2022 season and we need a fourth estimator to round out our team.   If you enjoy, and thrive on interacting and negotiating with insurance claims adjusters, have an excellent attention to detail, and want to join an established and rapidly growing company, Capital Construction will be a great place to further your career.
