Every great printed piece starts with a plan. You'll build it.
Before anything hits the press or the mailbox, someone has to figure out the smartest way to make it happen. What paper should we use? Which press should run it? Should we make it in-house or send it to a trusted vendor? How do we keep it on budget without cutting corners? At Ironside, that someone could be you.
We're looking for a sharp, detail-loving problem solver to turn project specs into accurate estimates and clear job tickets. These estimates and tickets are what keep our Account Management, Prepress and Production teams moving.
You don't need print experience. We'll teach you the craft. What you need is a mind that likes numbers, puzzles and getting things exactly right.
What you'll do
- Build estimates for in-house print, direct mail and outsourced vendor projects based on the specs our Account Managers provide
- Request, compare and follow up on vendor quotes to find the best fit for quality, cost and timeline
- Create detailed job tickets that give Prepress and Production everything they need to get it right the first time
- Work side by side with Account Managers to clarify specs, catch gaps early and find smarter ways to produce a job
- Occasionally connect with clients to confirm project details when an Account Manager brings you in
- Over time, learn to recommend materials, methods and cost-saving options that make projects better, not just cheaper
What you bring
- A strong eye for detail. You notice the missing comma and the wrong quantity.
- Comfort with numbers, math and working through cost scenarios
- Clear, friendly communication with teammates across departments
- A love of structure. You do your best work in organized systems and defined workflows, and you follow them carefully.
- Curiosity about how things are made and a willingness to keep learning
- The ability to stay calm and organized when several jobs are moving at once
Why you'll like it here
- You'll learn a valuable, hands-on skill set from people who know print inside and out
- You'll see every project from both sides, the client's goals and the production floor
- Your work matters. Accurate estimates and clean tickets are what make projects profitable and keep clients happy.
- Room to grow: this role is a launchpad. Show us what you can do, and you can advance quickly as your skills and responsibilities grow.
- You'll join a collaborative creative team working on real brands in our community

- Full-time, Monday through Friday

Who's Hiring
What Employers Look For
The qualifications that appear most often in estimating coordinator jobs.
- Experience with estimating software such as Bluebeam, PlanSwift, or Timberline
- Two to five years of experience supporting estimating or preconstruction teams

Tips for Your Estimating Coordinator Job Search
Tailor your resume to bid volumes
Estimating coordinators are judged on throughput. Mention how many bids or RFPs you managed per month, the project sizes you estimated, and which trades or scopes you covered. Hiring managers want to see scale, not just duties.
List your estimating software by name
Employers filter hard on tools. Name every platform you've used, whether that's Bluebeam, PlanSwift, Timberline, ProEst, or others. A generic 'proficient in estimating software' line gets ignored where a specific list gets interviews.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists estimating coordinator openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Target postings that name your trade sector
Estimating coordinators hired in mechanical contracting, civil construction, and commercial interiors rarely switch sectors mid-career. Search by your specific sector so you're not competing against candidates from unrelated backgrounds.
Prepare a walk-through of a real estimate
Interviewers frequently ask you to describe a past estimate from scope review to final number. Have one concrete example ready, including how you handled scope gaps, subcontractor quotes, and last-minute owner changes. Vague answers end candidacies.
Negotiate around project pipeline, not just pay
When evaluating an offer, ask about backlog and upcoming bid volume. A thin pipeline means slow work and limited learning. Coordinating bids on active, varied projects builds your resume faster than a higher base at a quieter firm.
Estimating Coordinator Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies are hiring the most estimating coordinators?
Tandem, IRONSIDE PRESS, and HighRise Repair are hiring the most estimating coordinators right now, with openings concentrated in Florida, Utah, and California, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. General contractors and specialty subcontractors consistently post the highest volume of these roles.
How many estimating coordinator jobs are remote?
About 0% of estimating coordinator openings are fully remote or hybrid as of November 2026, which is relatively low compared to other coordinator roles. The most remote-friendly sub-areas tend to be administrative bid coordination and cost database management, while takeoff work and subcontractor outreach are more often tied to an office or project site.
How do you become an estimating coordinator?
Start by building familiarity with construction documents, including plans, specifications, and scope sheets, through coursework or an entry-level role in a construction office. Learn at least one estimating platform, volunteer to assist on live bids, and develop a system for organizing subcontractor quotes. Most coordinators move into the role from project administration, procurement, or junior estimating positions.
Can you get an estimating coordinator job with little experience?
Yes, some firms hire candidates with limited direct estimating experience if they have strong administrative skills, construction document familiarity, and comfort with Excel. Applying to smaller general contractors or specialty subcontractors tends to be more successful than targeting large firms, which usually require prior estimating exposure. Internships or assistant estimator roles are also a common entry point.
What does the estimating coordinator interview process look like?
The process typically involves a phone screen with HR focused on your background, followed by a working interview or skills assessment where you may be asked to organize a mock bid package, describe how you track subcontractor coverage, or walk through a past estimate. A final round with a chief estimator or preconstruction manager usually tests your judgment on scope gaps and deadline management under pressure.
Where can I find and apply to estimating coordinator jobs?
You can find and apply to estimating coordinator jobs on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from across the United States. Search for roles that match your trade sector, experience level, and preferred location, then apply directly to each listing that fits your background.
