About the Opportunity

We are partnering with a well-established commercial drywall contractor experiencing steady growth and looking to add an Estimator to their collaborative estimating team. This is a growth-driven role within a close-knit, high-performing group where accuracy, accountability, and teamwork matter just as much as technical skill.

The estimating department works side-by-side in an open office environment, with leadership actively involved in bid reviews and decision-making. If you enjoy working in a fast-paced but supportive setting where everyone pitches in when deadlines get tight, this is a strong opportunity.

What You’ll Be Doing

Prepare detailed drywall framing estimates for commercial projects

Complete wallboard and plasterboard takeoffs

Estimate drywall equipment, materials, and supplies

Perform custom millwork estimating as needed

Use PlanSwift and OnScreen Takeoff for quantity takeoffs

Write and assemble clear, accurate bid proposals

Review bids daily with operations and leadership prior to submission

Participate in client scope review meetings via Zoom

Support occasional bid follow-ups (majority handled by leadership)

Bid volume varies, some weeks may involve quick-turn bids within hours, while others allow multiple days for completion. When timelines are tight, the team collaborates closely to ensure success.

What We’re Looking For

Minimum 3 years of estimating experience in commercial drywall

Hands-on experience with drywall takeoffs (training is not available)

Proficiency with PlanSwift and/or OnScreen Takeoff

Strong proposal writing and estimating accuracy

Ability to collaborate in a fast-paced bid environment
