Restoration & Remodeling Estimator Jenkins Restoration & Remodel is seeking a motivated Restoration & Remodeling Estimator to join our growing team. This role is responsible for developing accurate, detailed, and buildable estimates for residential restoration and remodeling projects while helping ensure projects are properly scoped before they move into production. While previous estimating or construction experience is preferred, we are also open to training the right person who is hungry, driven, detail-oriented, and genuinely willing to learn. We value attitude, work ethic, accountability, and the desire to grow just as much as experience. Responsibilities Perform site visits, inspections, measurements, and documentation for potential projects. Prepare detailed estimates for residential restoration, insurance, reconstruction, and remodeling projects. Review insurance adjuster scopes and identify missing items, scope gaps, or potential supplements. Develop accurate labor, material, equipment, and subcontractor estimates. Learn and utilize Xactimate, Claims Connect and other estimating tools. Ensure estimates clearly identify scope, assumptions, exclusions, allowances, and customer selections. Review estimates for accuracy and expected project profitability. Prepare supplements and supporting documentation when additional damage or scope is identified. Work closely with the project management and coordination teams to ensure the sold scope is executable. Provide accurate quantities and specifications to assist with material ordering. Participate in project handoff meetings and job walks. Identify potential change orders, upgrades, and additional work opportunities. Maintain organized estimating documentation, photos, measurements, notes, and supporting records. Communicate professionally with customers, insurance representatives, subcontractors, vendors, and internal team members. Qualifications Experience in construction, restoration, remodeling, estimating, project coordination, insurance restoration, or a related field is preferred, but not required for the right candidate. We are willing to train someone who: Is hungry to build a career and learn the construction/restoration industry. Has a strong work ethic and sense of urgency. Is highly detail-oriented and comfortable working with numbers. Is willing to ask questions, learn from mistakes, and continually improve. Takes ownership and follows through on commitments. Is organized and capable of managing multiple priorities. Communicates professionally and confidently. Is comfortable learning software and new processes. Can work independently while also being part of a team. Has a valid driver's license and reliable transportation. Xactimate experience is a plus, but we are willing to train the right person. What We Are Looking For The right person for this position understands — or is willing to learn — that an estimate is more than a number. It becomes the roadmap for the entire project. You do not have to know everything on day one. You do need to be willing to learn, work hard, take feedback, pay attention to details, and care about getting the job right. We are looking for someone who wants to grow with the company and develop into a strong estimator who can confidently scope projects, understand construction costs, protect project profitability, and help set our project teams up for success. Accuracy, urgency, professionalism, accountability, and a willingness to learn are critical in this role.
