We are seeking a results-driven and detail-oriented Chief Estimator / Construction Manager to join our team. This dual-role position is responsible for managing both the pre-construction and construction phases of projects, with a focus on light industrial and commercial non-residential construction.

The ideal candidate will have a strong background in project estimating, subcontractor management, and overseeing the execution of construction projects from bid to close-out. Experience with government construction projects and working knowledge of RSMeans or similar estimating tools is highly beneficial.

Legacy Building Solutions core business includes design, manufacturing, and installation of our proprietary building system. This building system is a hybrid consisting of steel framing and custom PVC fabric roof/wall cladding. Legacy’s growth initiatives include a focus on the government sector and offering turnkey construction services (in addition to the Legacy building system) to these government customers.

This role will help create and manage this new turnkey construction group within Legacy with a focus on the government sector growth.
