Los Angeles is a strong market for estimators across commercial, MEP, heavy civil, and major infrastructure projects. Salary ranges vary significantly by experience level:

Entry to mid-level estimators typically earn $75K, $120K annually. Senior estimators command $120K, $181K, while senior commercial and specialty roles reach $125K, $200K. Top-tier capital-project positions, including estimating managers on airport, transit, and healthcare programs, range from $187K, $250K+.

Employers consistently seek 7+ years of experience for senior commercial roles, 8+ for MEP specialization, and 15-20+ years for enterprise-level capital projects. A degree in Construction Management or Engineering is standard.
