Estimator at Prime Partners

Why Choose Prime Partners?

A Unique Culture in Santa Barbara

Hey there! I’m glad you could make it to chat over coffee. If you’re considering joining Prime Partners as an Estimator, there are a few things that really set us apart from other employers in the Santa Barbara area. First off, we pride ourselves on our tight-knit team. We’re not just colleagues here; we’re more of a family. We celebrate wins together, and when challenges arise, we tackle them head-on as a unit.

Real Projects, Real Impact

Let me share a story from one of our recent projects that perfectly encapsulates what it’s like working here. We were tasked with a large-scale site development for a new community park. It was a massive undertaking with many moving parts, but seeing everything come together was incredibly rewarding. And the best part? Our client was thrilled with the result. That’s what makes this job truly gratifying – knowing you’ve made a tangible difference in the community.

What Your Week Actually Looks Like

The Daily Grind

In this role, you’ll be diving into detailed plan take-offs, gathering vendor quotes, and calculating quantities. It’s a lot of number crunching, but if you’ve got a head for figures, you’ll find it satisfying. You’ll also be interpreting product specs and pricing, which is crucial for our large-scale projects.

Team Dynamics

Our team is a mix of seasoned pros and fresh talent. We all bring something unique to the table, and collaboration is key. You’ll be working closely with project managers, vendors, and subcontractors, ensuring our bids are accurate and competitive. Safety is a big deal around here, so we always uphold the highest standards on our job sites.

What You’ll Need to Succeed

Skills and Experience

We’re looking for someone with 3-10 years of experience in commercial site development and earthwork. If you’ve worked with a site development contractor before, that’s a big plus. While a degree in Civil Engineering is beneficial, what we really value are practical skills and the ability to get the job done.

The Right Traits

You’ll need strong analytical skills, an eye for detail, and the ability to keep your cool under pressure. We’re a fast-paced team, so being efficient is crucial. And of course, a good sense of humor helps when things get hectic!

The Good Stuff

Competitive Benefits

We offer a competitive salary ranging from $62.89 to $75.31 per hour, depending on your experience. We’re big on career advancement and provide ongoing training and certifications to help you grow. Work-life balance is important to us, so we ensure you have the time to enjoy life outside of work too.

Real Perks

Beyond the usual benefits, we offer things like flexible schedules and team-building events that actually matter. We believe in investing in our people, and there’s plenty of room for growth here. If you’re ready to take the next step in your career, Prime Partners could be the perfect fit for you.
