Construction Estimating Intern: Summer 2027 at Ironmark… · Phoenix

Ironmark Building Co. is looking for an Estimating Intern to begin in mid-late May 2027. You will assist the Preconstruction team in evaluating project documents, developing estimates, soliciting subcontractor pricing, and compiling the information necessary to prepare competitive and comprehensive bids.

What you’ll do:

Successful candidates are passionate about construction, detail oriented, curious, team focused, fun, hard-working, and willing to do whatever it takes to get the job done right. You will gain knowledge and experience while assisting with project setup, bid strategy, quantity takeoffs, subcontractor solicitation, price vetting, and estimate assembly and review. You will also have opportunities to interact with subcontractors, vendors, and members of the project team throughout the estimating process. The level of involvement depends on specific project needs, Preconstruction team needs, and your individual abilities. This is a great opportunity to gain hands-on experience and understand how projects are evaluated, priced, and pursued from the early stages of construction.
