We’re looking for a Roofing Estimator who knows roofing systems and can turn plans and specifications into accurate material estimates. You’ll support our sales teams and contractor customers by identifying the products needed for a complete roof system, flagging gaps or conflicts in the project documents, and providing the detail our local teams need to prepare a competitive quote.

What you'll do:

• Review drawings, specifications, and other construction documents to determine project requirements.
• Perform digital material takeoffs and prepare timely estimates for commercial low-slope roofing projects.
• Identify the components required for single-ply, modified bitumen, and built-up roofing systems, including manufacturer-specific requirements.
• Document assumptions, scope gaps, specification conflicts, and warranty considerations so they can be addressed before a quote is issued.
• Partner with sales, project tracking teams, contractors, and manufacturers to answer project questions and clarify estimate details.
• Maintain accurate project and estimate records in company systems and help improve estimating processes.

What you'll bring:

• Minimum of 5 years of commercial roofing estimating experience, with strong knowledge of low-slope systems such as TPO, PVC, EPDM, modified bitumen, and BUR.
• The ability to read plans and specifications, complete material takeoffs, and recognize when a specified roof system is incomplete or inconsistent.
• Familiarity with commercial roofing manufacturers, products, installation methods, and warranty requirements.
• Experience with digital takeoff tools such as The EDGE, Bluebeam, or PlanSwift, plus proficiency in Microsoft Excel.
• Clear communication skills and the confidence to explain an estimate to sales teams, contractors, and other partners.
• Strong attention to detail and the ability to manage multiple estimates and deadlines.
• Experience with roofing contractors, manufacturers, manufacturer representatives, or building products distribution is valuable. We’re especially interested in candidates who have estimated commercial roofing projects firsthand and understand how the materials come together in the field.

What you'll earn

• 401(k) with employer match
• Medical, dental, and vision insurance
• PTO, company holidays, and parental leave
• Paid training and certifications
• Legal assistance and identity protection
