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
