Seattle, United States Krekow Jennings Inc Full time

Krekow Jennings invites you to join our team as a Project Estimator. Our Estimators serve a key role in transforming our customers’ visions into reality. As an Estimator, you get to lead transformations by creating a construction project strategy which fulfills customer and designer goals and expectations. A successful construction project strategy is then converted into a construction contract.


Our Estimators do much more than measure, count, multiply and add. To be successful in this role, you will have construction experience as a commercial or large-scale residential Project Manager or Superintendent.
