Small contracting work lives in the space between service and large construction projects. Customers are not looking for a full ground‑up system install, but they still need someone who can walk into a building, understand the problem, put together a clear plan, and move quickly. That’s where you come in.

As a Small Contracting Sales Estimator at Encore, you are the person customers trust to turn field conditions, code requirements, and customer requests into real projects that get done correctly and efficiently. One day you may be walking a tenant fit‑out with a contractor, the next you may be quoting a riser replacement, coordinating a retrofit, or helping a customer navigate a code‑driven upgrade.

This role is equal parts relationship management, estimating, and operational coordination. You are not sitting behind a desk waiting for bid opportunities to land in your inbox. You are actively building relationships, identifying work, walking sites, solving problems, and partnering closely with Operations, Design, Scheduling, and Field Teams to keep projects moving.

The work moves fast, priorities shift quickly, and customers expect responsiveness and clarity. If you are organized, proactive, technically curious, and comfortable owning conversations from first walkthrough through project turnover, you will thrive here.
