Mission Statement:
Our goal is to find a full-time estimator/project manager assistant to integrate and grow with us long-term. We pride ourselves on being a top tier general contractor in and around the Ventura County area, with focus on customer service, integrity, client/subcontractor relations, and delivery of an exceptional product. We are willing to work with an individual side-by-side for as long as necessary to train them on our processes and gain experience in this industry. A basic outline of job responsibilities is as follows:

Job Responsibilities:
- Prepare budget estimates. Includes obtaining subcontractor bids as well as estimating ‘in-house’ work (i.e. general conditions, supervision, framing, drywall, soft demolition, door hanging, etc.).
- Comprehend contract documents. Read and thoroughly understand provided plan sets and contract documents. Pointing out discrepancies and figuring out means and methods will be paramount.
- Oversee assigned projects. Coordinate with client, design consultants, subcontractors, and field staff to guide the project to completion while successfully managing budgets and schedules.
- Design / Build projects. Work with clients and design consultants to guide the preliminary design process to completion, with the end goal of accurately illustrating the client’s needs and obtaining all necessary permit approvals.

- Draft change orders. Must have the ability to recognize unforeseen obstacles and provide change orders clearly stating the reason for the change, description of work, and budget for each line item.
- Clear communication. This is of extreme importance for all parties. All project decisions and specifications must be clearly documented and approved in writing. Project updates must be provided on a weekly basis, at minimum.
- Quality Control. It is the shared responsibility of the project manager and superintendent to ensure that all components of the project are installed as per plan with the highest standard of workmanship.
- Job site visits. Regular job site visits and meetings are essential. We encourage a ‘hands-on’ approach to management as well as a close working relationship to all superintendents and field staff.
- Assist with dispatch. Man power must be proficient with software being utilized. This includes Microsoft Office, Bidding Software, Take-off software, Management Software, Email, & PDF/Blue beam.
- Reliability. Ability to show up on-time consistently, adapt to new situations, problem solve, display good work ethic, and have a positive outlook is of the utmost importance.
- Organizational skills. File and save all project documents in a neat and logical manner.
- Leadership. Be proactive. Initiate job site walk throughs and meetings, clearly communicate foreseen issues, provide recommendations to navigate through problems, give directives with plenty of notice, and be a presence in the workplace.

- Teamwork. Do not be afraid to ask for help!
