About CourseCareers

CourseCareers is an online education platform that helps people launch new careers without a college degree or prior experience.

We partner with experienced industry professionals to build job-focused, employer-aligned courses across technology, business, construction, and the trades. Our students are career changers pursuing realistic, entry-level roles—and coaching plays a key role in helping them transition from coursework to employment.

About the Role

CourseCareers is seeking 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 does not guarantee recurring income. It is a flexible, paid opportunity designed for experienced construction estimators who enjoy mentoring, teaching, and helping others break into the field—with upside based on student engagement.

How This Role Works

  • Host a live, one-hour seminar-style workshop for students
  • Receive $50 per workshop (paid regardless of conversion)
  • Workshops are designed to provide value, answer questions, and showcase your expertise
  • Students may choose to book you for optional 1:1 coaching
  • You keep 100% of the coaching revenue
  • You set your own availability and working hours
  • High-performing coaches may receive exclusive coaching opportunities

There is no requirement to convert students, but conversion is where the upside exists.

Responsibilities

  • Host one live, one-hour workshop per month
  • Answer student questions related to construction estimating and job readiness
  • Share real-world insight into entry-level estimating roles
  • Explain estimating workflows used by GCs, subcontractors, and specialty trades
  • Discuss tools, processes, and workplace expectations
  • Provide optional 1:1 coaching to interested students

Qualifications

  • 3+ years of professional construction estimating experience
  • Experience with GCs, subcontractors, or specialty trades (e.g., concrete, electrical, mechanical, roofing)
  • Familiarity with estimating tools such as Excel, PlanSwift, Bluebeam, ProEst, or similar
  • Strong understanding of entry-level roles (Estimating Assistant, Junior Estimator, Project Coordinator)
  • Clear communication and teaching ability
  • Interest in mentoring career changers
  • Comfortable leading workshops independently
  • Availability at least three evenings per week, ideally Tuesday–Thursday

Ideal Candidate

This role is a great fit if you:

  • Enjoy teaching and mentoring
  • Want flexible, side income
  • Like being paid to teach—with optional upside
  • Do not require guaranteed hours or full-time income

Compensation

  • $50 per one-hour workshop (one per month guaranteed)
  • Unlimited upside from private 1:1 coaching
  • No quotas, caps, or minimum conversion requirements
