Construction Estimator

If you’re an experienced estimator tired of chasing incomplete drawings, unclear scopes, and last-minute bids with no structure, Flynn offers a more organized approach. We focus on repeatable commercial projects, established trade relationships, and defined processes that allow our estimators to build accurate, competitive bids without constant chaos.

Who We Are

Flynn Construction Management is a national general contractor specializing in fitness centers, hospitality, and retail construction. We’ve built long-term relationships with national clients by delivering consistent results, maintaining clear communication, and applying lessons learned from past projects. Our estimating process is structured, collaborative, and aligned with operations from the start.

The Estimator Role

As a Construction Estimator at Flynn, you’ll lead the estimating process from initial review through final bid submission. You’ll work closely with project management, field teams, and subcontractors to develop accurate pricing, define project scope, and ensure bids are complete and competitive.

Because much of our work is repeatable, our estimators benefit from established trade coverage, historical data, and internal systems that reduce guesswork and improve efficiency.

• Experience managing subcontractor relationships and bid coverage
• Strong attention to detail and ability to work within deadlines
• Organized, reliable, and able to manage multiple bids at once
• Proficiency with estimating software and basic office tools
