As our company continues to grow, we are looking for a knowledgeable and organized Field Estimator to help manage our growing volume of estimate requests. This is a great opportunity for someone with hands-on construction, remodeling, maintenance, or estimating experience who understands how projects come together and enjoys working with customers. Position Summary The Field Estimator will be responsible for managing estimate opportunities from the initial request through site evaluation, preparation of the estimate, customer follow-up, and approval. This is a field-based position . The estimator will travel to residential and commercial properties, meet with customers, evaluate requested work, take measurements and photos, develop detailed scopes of work, determine anticipated labor and material requirements, and prepare professional estimates.
