Indeed reports an average of $87k for project estimators statewide, though senior roles and specialized trades (curtain wall, bridge, civil) consistently post higher. Markets like Woburn and Wilmington show hourly ranges starting at $20, $30/hr for entry roles, while established firms like Consigli and Shawmut anchor Boston positions at $108k, $140k.
