Commercial Drywall Estimator

Brooklyn, NY – In‑Office

$100,000 – $140,000 base salary + 10% discretionary performance bonus

We are partnering with a well-established commercial drywall contractor experiencing steady growth and looking to add an Estimator to their collaborative estimating team. This is a growth‑driven role within a close‑knit, high‑performing group where accuracy, accountability, and teamwork matter just as much as technical skill.

The estimating department works side‑by‑side in an open office environment, with leadership actively involved in bid reviews and decision‑making. If you enjoy working in a fast‑paced but supportive setting where everyone pitches in when deadlines get tight, this is a strong opportunity.

• Prepare detailed drywall framing estimates for commercial projects
• Complete wallboard and plasterboard takeoffs
• Estimate drywall equipment, materials, and supplies
• Perform custom millwork estimating as needed
• Use Plan Swift and OnScreen Takeoff for quantity takeoffs
• Write and assemble clear, accurate bid proposals
• Review bids daily with operations and leadership prior to submission
• Participate in client scope review meetings via Zoom
• Support occasional bid follow‑ups (majority handled by leadership)

Bid volume varies, some weeks may involve quick‑turn bids within hours, while others allow multiple days for completion. When timelines are tight, the team collaborates closely to ensure success.

• Minimum 3 years of estimating experience in commercial drywall
• Hands‑on experience with drywall takeoffs (training is not available)
• Proficiency with Plan Swift and/or OnScreen Takeoff
• Strong proposal writing and estimating accuracy
• Ability to collaborate in a fast‑paced bid environment
