Construction Estimating Career Coach

Part-Time Construction Estimating Career Coach

(Flexible, Paid Workshops + Upside)

About CourseCareers

CourseCareers is an online education platform that helps people launch new careers without a college degree or prior experience .

We partner with industry professionals to create job-focused courses that teach practical, employer-aligned skills across technology, business, construction, and the trades. Our students are career changers looking for realistic, entry-level roles — and coaching helps bridge the gap between coursework and landing the job.

About the Role

We’re looking for a part-time Construction Estimating Career Coach to support students through live workshops and optional 1:1 coaching.

This is not a traditional employment role and not a guaranteed-income position . It’s a flexible, paid opportunity best suited for construction estimating professionals who enjoy mentoring, teaching, and helping others break into the field — with upside if students choose to work with you.

How This Role Actually Works

You host a live, one-hour workshop (seminar-style) for students

You are paid $50 per workshop , plus any private coaching business you acquire

You may receive exclusive coaching opportunities based on performance and engagement

Workshops are used to provide value, answer questions, and showcase your expertise

If students choose to book you for 1:1 coaching, you keep the coaching revenue

You set your own availability and working hours

There is no requirement to convert students — workshops are paid regardless — but conversion is where the upside comes from.

Responsibilities

Host a live, one-hour workshop on a monthly basis

Answer student questions related to construction estimating and the job search

Share real-world insight into what entry-level estimating roles actually look like

Explain how estimating works in real construction environments (GCs, subs, specialty trades)

Discuss common tools, workflows, and expectations

Provide optional 1:1 coaching to students who request it

What We’re Looking For

3+ years of professional construction estimating experience

Experience estimating for GCs, subcontractors, or specialty trades (e.g. concrete, electrical, mechanical, roofing, etc.)

Familiarity with estimating tools such as Excel, PlanSwift, Bluebeam, ProEst, or similar software

Strong understanding of entry-level roles like Estimating Assistant, Junior Estimator, or Project Coordinator

Interest in mentoring and helping career changers

Strong communication and teaching ability

Availability at least three evenings per week , ideally Tuesday–Thursday

Self-starter mindset — comfortable leading workshops independently

Ideal Fit

This role is a great fit if you:

Enjoy teaching and mentoring

Want flexible, side income

Like the idea of being paid to teach — with optional upside

Don’t need guaranteed hours or full-time income

Compensation

$50 per one-hour workshop (One per month guaranteed)

Unlimited upside from 1:1 coaching sessions you convert

No caps, no quotas, no minimums
