Estimating Team Lead

Are you ready to Build Excellence with an industry leader known for delivering results and exceeding expectations?

At DominionX / RoyalX, we live by our XFactors:
Quality, Integrity, Service, and Respect. We're seeking an Estimator Team Lead who shares our commitment to excellence and thrives in a fast-paced, team-focused environment.

The Estimator Team Lead runs day-to-day estimating for DominionX's new-construction roofing and siding work, turning builder plans into accurate, on-time bids. You will carry your own estimating workload while leading a small team, checking their takeoffs and pricing, and keeping bid turnaround tight.

You are the go-to person for builder plan questions, option pricing and plan-library accuracy. You work closely with the Estimating Manager, sales, purchasing and production so what we bid is what we build, at the margin we planned.

• Review estimators' takeoffs, material lists and pricing for accuracy before submission.
• Train and mentor estimators on takeoff methods, software, company standards and builder specs.
• Provide input to the Estimating Manager on performance, workload and hiring.
• Step in on overflow and complex bids when the team is at capacity.

• Prepare roofing and siding estimates from architectural plans, elevations and builder spec sheets.
• Perform takeoffs for roofing (shingles, metal, low slope), siding, exterior trim & gutters.
• Build accurate pricing for base plans, elevations and builder options; apply correct waste factors and labor rates.
• Maintain the plan library so repeat plans and community packages are bid quickly and consistently.

• Serve as the main estimating contact for builder purchasing and construction teams on plan questions and revisions.
• Support sales with community bids, value-engineering options and contract pricing.
• Review variance between estimated and actual material and labor; feed findings back into pricing.

• Enforce estimating standards, templates and checklists across the team.
• Recommend process and software improvements that cut turnaround time or errors.

• 3+ years of residential roofing and/or siding estimating, with new-construction experience.
• Strong plan-reading skills: roof pitches, elevations, wall areas, openings and trim details.
• Working knowledge of asphalt shingle, vinyl siding and fiber cement installation and materials.
• Proficiency with digital takeoff software (e.g., Plan Swift, Stack or similar) and Excel.
• Track record of producing accurate bids under tight builder deadlines.
• High school diploma or equivalent.

• 1+ years leading, training or reviewing the work of other estimators.
• Experience bidding production builder communities, plan libraries and option pricing.
• Familiarity with the Nashville-area builder market and local code requirements.
• Field experience in installation, project management or quality control.
• Manufacturer product training or certification (e.g., James Hardie, GAF, Owens Corning, Certain Teed).
• Associate's degree in construction management or a related field.
