Construction Estimating Career Coach
About this role
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

- 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

- 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
