The successful candidate will work closely with company leadership and have the opportunity to develop into a senior estimating or project-management position. The company values accuracy, accountability, practical decision-making, and long-term working relationships. This is not a high-pressure commissioned sales position. ### Confidential Application Process All inquiries and applications will be handled confidentially. Employment inquiries will not be shared with a candidate’s current employer without permission. Please submit a résumé or a brief description of your construction and estimating experience, along with your compensation expectations, to info@dereumedunkel.com.
