It is loud, bright, and full of energy.</span><br></p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt\">Every one of those parks started as an empty space. <span style=\"font-weight: bold\">Magma Core Solutions (MCS</span>) is the team that builds them.</span></p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 12pt; font-weight: bold\">What You’re Really Building</span></p>\n<p><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt\">Every park starts as a number. Before a wall comes down, somebody has to figure out what the build will cost and what it will take. That is you.</span></p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt\">The budget you put together is the plan everyone else runs on. The Project Manager buys the job out against it. The Superintendent builds to it in the field. Get the estimate right and the whole project has a foundation under it. And when that park opens and fills up with families, you will know your numbers are what made it possible.</span><br></p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt\">These are commercial interior tenant improvement (TI) builds in leased retail space, not ground-up construction. It is also real work: fast schedules, real budgets, and a hard opening date families are already counting on.</span><br></p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 12pt; font-weight: bold\">Why You’ll Love Working at Lava Island</span></p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt\">In-house at a growing company. You are not chasing one-off bids that disappear when the job ends. You are the estimator for a company that opens more parks every year, with a steady pipeline of work ahead.</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt\">Own the numbers for the whole build, not one slice of it.</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt\">Build something. The estimating function and the cost models are being built right now as MCS scales. You help set how it runs.</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt\">A repeatable park that gets sharper every build. Your historical data makes the next estimate better than the last.</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt\">Denver home base. An office role with minimal travel.</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt\">Competitive pay and full benefits.</span></li>\n</ul>\n<p><br></p>\n<p><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 12pt; font-weight: bold\">What You’ll Do</span></p>\n<p><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt\">You build the cost basis and budget for every new park MCS opens, from the first conceptual number through a buyout-ready budget.</span></p>\n<p><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt; font-weight: bold\">Build the estimate</span></p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt\">Develop complete quantity takeoffs and detailed cost estimates from drawings, specifications, and scope documents for each park build.</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt\">Price every scope: demolition, general trades, mechanical, electrical and plumbing, finishes, themed work, commercial kitchen, fire safety, low voltage and AV, signage, and specialty installs.</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt\">Account for the cost differences between the markets where Lava Island builds.</span></li>\n</ul>\n<p><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt; font-weight: bold\">Price the work</span></p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt\">Put together clear bid packages, solicit subcontractor and supplier pricing, and level the bids so you are comparing the same scope of work, not just the bottom line.</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt\">Catch scope gaps, overlaps, and exclusions before they reach the field.</span></li>\n</ul>\n<p><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt; font-weight: bold\">Set the budget and keep it sharp</span></p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt\">Build the budget that becomes the basis for the Project Manager’s buyout, and walk it through to them at handoff.</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt\">Support the Project Manager and Superintendent on pricing questions through buyout and construction, and price change orders as they come back through the Project Manager.</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt\">Build and maintain the cost models and historical data for the Lava Island park prototype, so estimates get more accurate build over build.</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt\">Find value engineering and cost savings that do not cut brand or quality.</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt\">Keep clean estimate files and run the work through the company’s systems, including Procore.</span></li>\n</ul>\n<p><br></p>\n<p><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 12pt; font-weight: bold\">Who We’re Looking For</span></p>\n<p><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt\">This is an experienced estimating seat, not an entry-level one. The estimators who do well at MCS are:</span></p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt\">Experienced. You have priced commercial, tenant improvement, or interior build-out work and can carry an estimate from a first concept number all the way to a buyout-ready budget.</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt\">Detail-driven. You catch the gap, the overlap, and the missing exclusion before it becomes a problem in the field.</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt\">Highly organized. Many estimates, many bid packages, many deadlines, all kept straight.</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt\">Cost-savvy. You know what drives cost and where the risk sits.</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt\">An honest communicator. You surface your assumptions, inclusions, and exclusions clearly so nobody is guessing.</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt\">Comfortable with technology. Estimating and takeoff software, spreadsheets, and cloud tools are part of the daily job.</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt\">A team player. You work closely with the Project Manager, Superintendents, Design, and Real Estate.</span></li>\n</ul>\n<p><br></p>\n<p><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 12pt; font-weight: bold\">What You’ll Need</span></p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt\">Several years of construction estimating experience, typically five or more, ideally in tenant improvement, interior build-out, commercial retail, hospitality, or themed environment work.</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt\">A track record of complete, accurate quantity takeoffs and detailed estimates across all trades.</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt\">Experience soliciting, leveling, and evaluating subcontractor and supplier bids.</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt\">Ability to read and interpret construction drawings, specifications, and lease exhibits.</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt\">A strong understanding of construction means, methods, sequencing, and cost drivers.</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt\">Comfort with estimating and takeoff software, spreadsheets, and cloud collaboration tools. MCS runs on Microsoft 365 and Outlook.</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt\">Strong attention to detail, organization, and time management.</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt\">Procore experience preferred. Willingness to become a Procore power user is required.</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt\">Bilingual (Spanish / English) is a strong plus.</span></li>\n</ul>\n<p><br></p>\n<p><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt\">A full job description will be shared and walked through with you during the process, so you have the complete picture before moving forward.</span></p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 12pt; font-weight: bold\">Ready to Price What Comes Next?</span></p>\n<p><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt\">If you want your estimates to be the foundation under something families remember, not just another bid on a list, we want to meet you.
