Project Coordinator / Estimator
We are seeking a technically minded, detail-oriented individual to join our team as a Project Coordinator / Estimator.
This position is well suited to someone who enjoys mathematics, geometry, technical drawings, and solving problems that require both analytical thinking and spatial visualization.
Previous experience in the stone industry is not required. We will provide training to the right candidate.
About the Position
This role combines technical drawing review, project coordination, and progressive training in architectural stone estimating.
A central responsibility is ensuring the accuracy of technical documents before materials are released for fabrication. This requires carefully comparing architectural plans with shop drawings, and then verifying individual shop tickets against the approved shop drawings. The ability to visualize three-dimensional objects from two-dimensional drawings, recognize discrepancies, and work confidently with dimensions and geometry is essential.
You will also coordinate customer projects from contract award through fabrication and delivery, working closely with customers, architects, contractors, and our internal teams. Over time, you will train alongside our experienced Chief Estimator, learning material takeoffs, cost calculations, and preparation of estimates, with opportunities to assume increasing responsibility. We are looking for someone who is interested in learning specialized technical skills and developing a long-term career with our company.
Key Responsibilities
Technical Drawing Review & Quality Control
- Conduct detailed, piece-by-piece reviews of shop drawings against architectural plans, specifications, and construction details.
- Verify dimensions, quantities, thicknesses, profiles, finishes, joint locations, and other technical requirements.
- Review individual shop tickets against approved shop drawings to ensure that every stone piece is accurately represented and specified for fabrication.
- Identify discrepancies, omissions, dimensional conflicts, and inconsistencies between documents.
- Coordinate corrections with drafting personnel and verify that identified issues have been resolved.
- Maintain a systematic and thorough approach to technical review to prevent fabrication errors, material waste, and project delays.
Project Coordination
- Coordinate customer projects from contract award through fabrication and delivery.
- Review contracts, project specifications, and technical requirements.
- Coordinate preparation, submission, and approval of shop drawings, samples, and other required documentation.
- Communicate professionally with customers, architects, contractors, and internal departments.
- Establish and track project schedules, milestones, deadlines, and outstanding approvals.
- Coordinate project changes and assist with change orders.
- Maintain accurate and organized project records, correspondence, and documentation.

Tips for Your Project Coordinator Estimator Job Search
Quantify your estimate accuracy on your resume
Hiring managers want to see how close your bids came to actual project costs. List the dollar volume of projects you estimated and note any variance rates you maintained, even if the number was an internal target your team tracked.
List every estimating software you have used
Project coordinator estimator postings frequently screen by tool. Name each platform you know, whether Bluebeam, ProEst, Sage Estimating, or general takeoff software, and note your proficiency level so recruiters can match you to the stack their team uses.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists project coordinator estimator 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 match your trade or sector
Estimating skills transfer differently across commercial construction, civil infrastructure, and mechanical or electrical work. Filter openings by the sector where you have done takeoffs or managed subcontractor bids so your resume aligns with what the hiring team actually needs.
Prepare a sample estimate for your interview
Many hiring panels ask you to walk through a past bid from scope review to final number. Bring a sanitized example that shows how you broke down labor, materials, and overhead, and be ready to explain any assumptions you made when data was incomplete.
Negotiate by anchoring to project volume you can manage
When discussing compensation, tie your ask to the dollar value and complexity of projects you have coordinated end to end. Demonstrating that you can run a multi-phase bid process without close supervision strengthens your position more than years of experience alone.
Project Coordinator Estimator Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies are hiring the most project coordinator estimators?
USA Renovations, IMRAE, and Swinerton are hiring the most project coordinator estimators right now, with openings concentrated in Texas, Virginia, and California, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Activity tends to be heaviest among general contractors, specialty subcontractors, and civil engineering firms managing multi-site project pipelines.
How many project coordinator estimator jobs are remote?
About 11% of project coordinator estimator openings are fully remote or hybrid as of November 2026, though the role is more field-adjacent than many office positions. The sub-areas most likely to offer remote flexibility are preliminary cost modeling, bid document review, and subcontractor communication, while site walk-throughs and owner meetings typically require an in-person presence.
How do you become a project coordinator estimator?
Start by building a foundation in construction or engineering through a degree program or a trade apprenticeship, then gain hands-on exposure to takeoffs and bid preparation by working as an estimating assistant or project administrator. Learning industry-standard estimating software and earning a credential such as the Associate Constructor designation or a LEED credential strengthens your profile. Most people move into the full coordinator estimator role after demonstrating they can manage the full bid cycle from scope review through award.
Can I get a project coordinator estimator job with little or no experience?
Yes, entry-level project coordinator estimator roles exist, and employers often hire candidates from adjacent positions such as project administrator, field engineer, or estimating intern. Emphasize any exposure you have to reading drawings, preparing quantity takeoffs, or tracking bid schedules. A strong grasp of estimating software and a willingness to work under a senior estimator while learning project-specific cost structures is typically what gets candidates through the door without a full estimating background.
What does the project coordinator estimator interview process look like?
Most processes involve an initial screening call with HR or a hiring manager, followed by a technical interview where you walk through a past estimate or complete a takeoff exercise. A panel interview with project managers or the estimating team often comes next, covering how you handle incomplete specifications, subcontractor relationships, and bid deadlines. Some employers add a final conversation with a senior leader before extending an offer.
Where can I find and apply to project coordinator estimator jobs?
You can find and apply to project coordinator estimator jobs on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from across the United States. Search the listings to find roles that match your experience level, sector, and location, then apply directly to each opening that fits.
