- 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., BlueBeam Revu, Estimating Edge, OST, MS Excel)
Compensation & Benefits
