The ideal candidate has a strong understanding of commercial interior construction and can independently handle quantity takeoffs, scope reviews, subcontractor and vendor pricing, bid comparisons, cost analysis, and proposal preparation. This is a hands-on role for a detail-oriented professional who can manage multiple bids and deadlines in a fast-paced environment.

Key Responsibilities

  • Prepare accurate, detailed estimates for commercial drywall, metal framing, acoustical ceilings, flooring, and related interior construction scopes.
  • Review architectural drawings, specifications, addenda, contracts, and bid documents to establish project requirements and scope.
  • Perform detailed quantity takeoffs for materials, labor, equipment, and subcontracted work.
  • Identify scope gaps, design conflicts, exclusions, and potential cost risks.
  • Solicit, review, compare, and level subcontractor and vendor proposals.
  • Calculate material, labor, subcontractor, and overall project costs.
  • Prepare comprehensive bid proposals, including scope summaries, clarifications, exclusions, assumptions, alternates, and pricing.
  • Identify value-engineering opportunities and recommend cost-effective alternatives.
  • Coordinate with Project Managers, field teams, suppliers, subcontractors, general contractors, and clients to clarify scope and pricing.
  • Maintain historical pricing records, estimating databases, bid logs, vendor information, and project documentation.
  • Assist with conceptual budgets, negotiated bids, change-order pricing, and estimate revisions.
  • Participate in pre-bid meetings, site visits, post-bid reviews, and scope discussions.
  • Provide detailed estimates and scope breakdowns during project handoff to the operations team.
  • Track multiple active bids and ensure proposals are accurate, complete, and submitted on time.
  • Identify opportunities to improve estimating procedures, pricing accuracy, and internal workflows.

Requirements

  • 3+ years of commercial estimating experience in drywall, metal framing, acoustical ceilings, flooring, or related interior construction.
  • Direct experience estimating commercial interior construction projects is required.
  • Strong knowledge of drywall, metal framing, acoustical ceilings, flooring, and commercial interior construction methods.
  • Ability to read and interpret architectural drawings, specifications, contracts, addenda, and bid documents.
  • Proven experience performing detailed quantity takeoffs and preparing complete commercial bids.
  • Experience obtaining, analyzing, and leveling subcontractor and supplier pricing.
  • Proficiency with Bluebeam, On-Screen Takeoff, PlanSwift, or similar estimating software.
  • Strong understanding of labor, material, subcontractor, and equipment costs.
  • Excellent mathematical, analytical, organizational, and problem-solving skills.
  • Strong communication skills and attention to detail.
  • Ability to manage multiple bids, competing priorities, and deadlines simultaneously.
  • High school diploma or GED required.
  • Degree or formal education in Construction Management, Engineering, or a related field preferred.

Benefits

  • Competitive salary based on experience and qualifications.
  • Health, dental, and vision insurance.
  • Retirement savings plan with company contribution.
  • Paid time off and company holidays.
  • Professional development and career advancement opportunities.
  • Consistent pipeline of commercial interior construction projects.
