Commercial Glass Estimator

M&M Glass has been southern Louisiana's trusted custom glass and mirror provider for over 40 years. We're known for our high-quality work, customer-first service, and solid relationships with families, designers, contractors, and builders across the region. None of it would be possible without our hands-on team who shows up ready to work every day.

Our Commercial Estimator will play a key role in identifying, estimating, coordinating, and tracking commercial glass projects from the initial bid opportunity through final installation.

This isn’t a bid-it-and-forget-it position. You’ll stay connected to projects throughout the process, working with general contractors, vendors, our internal teams, and leadership to help keep projects accurate, organized, profitable, and moving forward.

Commercial glass estimating experience would be a major plus, but it is not required. We are looking for someone who already understands the fundamentals of construction, estimating, architectural plans, specifications, takeoffs, and project coordination. We can teach you the glass-specific side of our products and processes. You should come prepared with enough construction knowledge and experience to understand how the pieces of a project fit together.

You’ll estimate commercial projects including storefronts, interior glass and office partitions, gym and fitness mirror installations, and architectural glass railings. You’ll also support residential plan estimating and other architectural glass projects as needed.

This role is ideal for a self-starter who is comfortable taking ownership, asking the right questions, identifying potential gaps, and helping develop better processes. We want someone who can bring valuable construction knowledge to the table while continuing to learn alongside us.

As our Commercial Estimator, you'll balance estimating, project coordination, relationship management, and preconstruction responsibilities. Some days may be heavily focused on plans and takeoffs, while others may include jobsite meetings, project coordination, vendor communication, residential plan bids, or identifying upcoming commercial opportunities.
