Estimator Jobs in Maine: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a estimator in Maine?
Most Maine employers hire estimators with a bachelor's degree in construction management, civil engineering, or architecture, though candidates with an associate degree and substantial field experience are also considered. Maine does not require a state-issued license specifically for estimators. Earning a Certified Professional Estimator designation through the American Society of Professional Estimators strengthens your candidacy. Many local firms also value hands-on trades experience or time spent as a project engineer before moving into estimating.
How much do estimators make in Maine?
Estimators in Maine earn a median of about $74,080 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $41,450 for the lowest 10% to over $123,040 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire estimators in Maine?
Maine estimator roles are posted by Moody's Co-Worker Owned, Cianbro, and Trueline and others right now, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Maine's construction and engineering sector is anchored by regional contractors and infrastructure firms with deep roots in the state, so many openings come from employers who hire continuously rather than seasonally.
Which Maine cities have the most estimator jobs?
York, Wells, and Bangor account for the largest share of estimator openings in Maine. Portland drives the most volume as the state's commercial and residential construction hub, while Bangor serves as the center for northern Maine infrastructure and heavy civil work, and Augusta attracts openings tied to state government facilities and public works projects.
Are there remote estimator jobs in Maine?
Yes, but they're less common than in purely desk-based fields, since estimators frequently need to visit sites, attend pre-bid meetings, and coordinate directly with field crews. About 0% of estimator openings tied to Maine are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, with most flexibility found in the early takeoff and quantity survey phases of the work rather than the site verification and subcontractor negotiation phases.
How can I get hired as a estimator in Maine with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry point is an assistant estimator or estimating coordinator role at a mid-size Maine general contractor, where you learn takeoffs alongside experienced staff. Firms like Cianbro and regional design-build contractors occasionally hire candidates straight from construction management programs at the University of Maine or Southern Maine Community College. Moving laterally from a project engineer, field supervisor, or trades foreman role is also a recognized path, since site-level cost awareness is something Maine contractors value highly when training new estimators.
Where can I find and apply to estimator jobs in Maine?
You can find and apply to estimator jobs in Maine on Migrate Mate, which lists current Maine openings across construction, engineering, and related industries. Find roles that fit your experience and apply directly to the employers posting them.
