Likely interview questions for this role

Written from this job description, not a generic list. Each one notes what the interviewer is really checking.

About your past

Why are you interested in estimating instead of field work or design?

What they are checking: Whether they have a real reason for the role and understand what estimators actually do.

Tell me about a time you worked with a lot of detail and had to get it right.

What they are checking: Whether they have shown care with detailed work, since small errors in estimates become large costs.

What they are checking: Whether they can pick up tools like Accubid fast with some guidance.

What would make this internship a success for you?

What they are checking: Whether they have clear learning goals and will take ownership of their summer.

What would you do

If you had to count every light fixture on a set of plans, how would you make sure you didn't miss any?

What they are checking: Whether they think about accuracy and checking methods, which is the core habit of a good estimator.

You're given a task by an estimator and a different one by a project manager, both due tomorrow. What do you do?

What they are checking: Whether they communicate conflicts early rather than quietly missing one deadline.

You find what looks like an error in an estimate a senior estimator made. How do you bring it up?

What they are checking: Whether they will raise concerns respectfully, since catching mistakes is valuable at any level.

About the work

What have you learned so far about reading blueprints, and what's still confusing to you?

What they are checking: Whether they have some exposure to drawings and can be honest about what they still need to learn.

How comfortable are you in Excel? Tell me something you've built with it.

What they are checking: Whether they can handle the spreadsheet work that supports estimating from day one.

What do you think makes a construction estimate go wrong?

What they are checking: Whether they can reason about missed scope, labor and pricing risks even as a beginner.
