Project Estimator
Estimator job in Elmwood Park, NJ
Job Description
Project Estimator
Compensation: $75,000-$85,000 base + discretionary bonus Schedule: Onsite preferred
About the Role
We're looking for an Estimator who can take full ownership of the bid process-from reviewing bid invitations to completing takeoffs, assembling proposals, and communicating with General Contractors. Once a project is awarded, our project managers take over, but we need someone who can thoroughly vet every opportunity and ensure accuracy on the front end.
This role is ideal for someone with 1+ year of experience in any type of door industry, with a strong preference for overhead door experience. We have a one-month training ramp-up, but we need someone who is detail-oriented, consistent, and committed-someone who stays in roles long enough to deeply learn the work and build trust with the team.
What You'll Do
Review incoming bid invitations and ensure every bid is evaluated and pursued.
Complete accurate takeoffs for overhead door and related systems.
Build and submit written proposals for internal approval (Sean will approve final proposals).
Communicate with GCs throughout the bidding process; act as the primary point of contact until a job is awarded.
Transition awarded jobs to project managers with clear documentation.
Maintain strong organization and attention to detail on documentation, timelines, and bid follow-through.
Work onsite as needed for collaboration; hybrid schedule may be considered.
What We're Looking For
Key Requirements
1+ year of experience in overhead doors, industrial doors, commercial doors, loading dock, or similar trades.
Strong attention to detail and ability to thoroughly vet jobs before proposal submission.
Ability to handle high-capital, high-accuracy bids.
