Overview

We are seeking an experienced, self-directed Senior Estimator with a commercial roofing background to join our growing team. The Senior Estimator owns the estimating process for commercial roofing and exterior restoration projects from site inspection and quantity take-off through final pricing and proposal, preparing accurate, competitive, and fully scoped estimates in Xactimate and in lump-sum and unit-price formats. This role works closely with Sales, Production, Project Management, Procurement, insurance adjusters and consultants, and clients to develop winning proposals while ensuring estimates are aligned with company objectives and profitability targets.

Success in this position requires deep technical knowledge of commercial roof systems and details, disciplined take-off and pricing habits, strong analytical skills, strategic thinking, and a proven ability to manage multiple bids in a fast-paced environment with minimal supervision.

• Perform complete quantity take-offs from construction drawings, specifications, aerial measurement reports, and field measurements, including roof area, slope, perimeter and flashing linear footage, penetrations, drains and scuppers, curbs, insulation and tapered systems, wood blocking, and edge metal.
• Prepare Xactimate estimates for insurance-related losses (hail, wind, and other perils), including roof sketches and diagrams, line-item scope, overhead and profit, and supplements; support claim documentation and negotiations with adjusters, consultants, and engineers.

• Solicit, evaluate, and level material pricing from manufacturers and distributors and quotes from subcontractors and vendors (sheet metal, cranes, disposal, scaffolding, safety).
• Analyze project risks, opportunities, and constructability issues, including wet insulation, deck replacement, hazardous materials, phasing on occupied facilities, and weather exposure, and incorporate mitigation strategies into estimates.
• Uphold project management standards for projects exceeding $1M.
• Maintain and review accurate field documentation, photo logs, graphs, and sketches for various projects.
• Deliver a complete estimate-to-production handoff, including scope narrative, assumptions, exclusions, and buyout targets, and participate in estimate-versus-actual job cost reviews to continuously refine unit pricing and production rates.
• Maintain the company cost database, unit pricing, and historical bid data.
