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
