01About 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.

02About 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.

03How 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.

04Responsibilities

  • Host a live, one-hour workshop on a monthly basis

  • Answer student questions related to construction estimating and the job search

  • Share real-world insight into what entry-level estimating roles actually look like

  • Explain how estimating works in real construction environments (GCs, subs, specialty trades)

  • Discuss common tools, workflows, and expectations

  • Provide optional 1:1 coaching to students who request it

053+ years of professional construction estimating experience

  • Experience estimating for GCs, subcontractors, or specialty trades (e.g. concrete, electrical, mechanical, roofing, etc.)

  • 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

  • 06Ideal 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

    07$50 per one-hour workshop (One per month guaranteed)

  • Unlimited upside from 1:1 coaching sessions you convert

  • No caps, no quotas, no minimums

  • Only on Dev Global Jobs
