We are looking for a motivated entry-level Roofing Estimator to join our team. In this role, you will support senior estimators in preparing accurate cost estimates for roofing projects (primarily re-roofing, repairs, or new installations on residential and/or commercial properties). This is a great opportunity to learn the roofing industry from the ground up, develop estimating skills, and grow into a full estimator or sales role.

You will assist with site visits, measurements, material and labor calculations, and bid/proposal preparation.

  • Maintain accurate records of past estimates and outcomes to improve future pricing.
  • Track industry trends, material costs, and labor rates to ensure competitive and realistic bids.
  • Participate in value engineering and scope clarification discussions as needed
Requirements
  • High school diploma or GED (associate's/bachelor's in construction management, engineering, or related field a plus).
  • No prior commercial roofing estimating experience required; entry-level candidates welcome (0–2 years in construction, roofing, or related fields).
  • Strong math skills, attention to detail, and ability to read basic plans/blueprints.
  • Comfortable with heights, roof access (ladders, lifts, walking flat/low-slope roofs), and outdoor/site work in various conditions.
  • Valid driver's license and reliable transportation.
  • Good verbal/written communication for team and client interactions.
  • Experience with estimating software (e.g., Blue Beam Revu, Estimating Edge, OST, MS Excel)
  • Competitive Salary, commensurate with experience and qualifications
  • Health Insurance (employee coverage partially paid by the company)
  • Paid Time Off and Paid Holidays
  • Sales/bonus incentives may be offered based on volume awarded and performance
  • Opportunities for career growth and advancement in a dynamic company
