Adilstone Group — Open Position

Project Manager / Estimator

Full-Time Auburn, Alabama On-Site Reports to: Ownership 5+ Years Experience

Position Overview

This is a dual-role position at the center of a growing light commercial and multifamily general contracting firm in Auburn, Alabama. You will own the full project lifecycle — from the first estimate through final closeout — while also keeping the estimating pipeline moving. It is a job where the morning starts in a spreadsheet and the afternoon might end on a job site.

The company is positioned for growth, and this role has direct visibility to ownership. That means fewer layers, faster decisions, and real influence over how things get done. It also means you need to bring structure with you — the kind of person who creates systems, not just follows them.

If you have hands-on construction experience, strong estimating instincts, and the communication skills to manage owners, architects, and subcontractors without drama, this role is built for someone like you.
