Black Leaf Design is a design-build general contractor based in Salt Lake City, Utah, serving the aviation, industrial & commercial, select residential, and equestrian & specialty markets. Our mission is to be the client's guide through the design and construction process — delivering projects on time, on budget, and without confusion.

We're hiring our first Philippines-based team member: a skilled construction estimator to join our preconstruction team. You'll work directly with our COO and project managers, with full access to our tools, training program, and team channels. This is a long-term role with real growth potential — not freelance gig work.

What you'll do

Perform quantity takeoffs from architectural, structural, civil, and MEP drawings
Build detailed cost estimates for commercial, industrial, aviation, and specialty projects
Manage subcontractor bid packages in Procore — solicit, evaluate, and level bids
Monitor bid platforms (UP3, Construction Connect, Building Connected) for opportunities
Support feasibility studies, preliminary budgets, and value engineering
Prepare professional proposals and maintain our cost database

What we're looking for

2+ years of construction estimating or preconstruction experience
Ability to read and interpret architectural, structural, and MEP drawings
Strong Excel / Google Sheets skills
Excellent written and spoken English — you'll communicate with our US team daily, including weekly video meetings
Reliable high-speed internet and a professional home office
Night-shift availability: your workday must overlap US Mountain Time core hours, minimum 9:00 AM – 3:00 PM MT (approximately 11:00 PM – 5:00 AM Philippine Time). Compensation reflects this, including a night differential.

Nice to have

Procore or PlanSwift experience
Degree in Construction Management, Civil Engineering, or Architecture
CSI MasterFormat familiarity; knowledge of US building codes (IBC)
Previous remote work with US-based companies

What we offer

$1,200 – $1,800 USD/month depending on experience and English fluency, plus night differential
Full training program on our tools, processes, and standards — we invest in you from day one
Industry-leading software (Procore, Construction Connect) at no cost to you
Legitimate, compliant Philippine employment through our Employer of Record partner — payroll, benefits, and local HR support handled professionally
A respectful team that values your work regardless of location, and a path to a senior estimating role as we scale
