About Comstock Construction

Comstock Construction has been building in the region for over 100 years, with a strong reputation for quality, integrity, and long-term relationships. Many of our employees have been here 10+ years, which says a lot about the kind of team we've built.

We work on a wide range of commercial projects—from smaller jobs to multi-million-dollar builds—and take pride in doing things the right way, working closely with clients, and partnering with local subcontractors.

We're looking for a Construction Estimator to join our Fargo team. This is a full-time, in-office role focused on building accurate, competitive estimates and working closely with our project teams to set jobs up for success from the start.

You'll be involved in everything from take-offs to final pricing and will play a key role in how we pursue and win work.

• Prepare accurate cost estimates from conceptual through construction documents
• Perform quantity take-offs and analyze labor, material, and time requirements
• Work with subcontractors and suppliers to gather pricing
• Review drawings, specs, and project documents to develop complete scopes
• Collaborate with project managers and field teams during preconstruction
• Help track and manage budgets during the estimating phase
• Build and maintain strong relationships with subs, suppliers, and clients
• Continuously look for ways to improve estimating processes and systems

• Experience in construction estimating (commercial preferred)
• Strong understanding of construction methods, materials, and Divisions 01–33
• Ability to read and interpret plans, specs, and bid documents
• Detail-oriented with strong organizational and time management skills
• Comfortable working with estimating software and Excel
• Strong communication skills—you'll be working with a lot of people
• Ability to adapt as project scopes and priorities shift

Bonus Points:

• Degree in Construction Management, Engineering, or related field
• Experience with conceptual estimating and budgeting

• Stable company with a strong backlog of work
• Team-oriented environment (people stick around here for a reason)
• Variety of projects—not the same thing over and over
• Opportunity to have a real impact on projects from the start
