JOB TITLE: Sales & Estimating Specialist

JOB DESCRIPTION: We are seeking an outgoing, detail-oriented, and motivated Sales & Estimating Specialist to join our client’s team. This role is ideal for someone who combines strong sales instincts with mathematical aptitude, thrives on relationship-building, and wants to contribute directly to the growth and success of a respected, tight-knit company.

This is not just an estimating role — it's a client-facing, sales-driven position for someone who enjoys winning business and delivering value. If you have a background in construction, estimating, or trades, and you enjoy meeting people, prospecting new leads, and closing deals, this could be the perfect fit.

Key Responsibilities

Sales & Client Development

• Proactively bring in new business through cold calls, referrals, and networking
• Attend local industry events (Chamber of Commerce, ABC, Rotary, etc.) at least once per month
• Build and maintain strong relationships with general contractors, developers, and other industry professionals

Estimating & Proposal Development

• Perform detailed take-offs, proposals, submittals, and bid packages
• Maintain organized electronic files and data for all estimating tasks
• Submit proposals, complete bids prior to deadlines, following site visits

Bid & Project Tracking and Follow-Up

• Track bids using spreadsheets or other software
• Submit monthly or quarterly reports with project/bid information

Skills & Qualifications

• Minimum 2 years of construction estimating experience required
• Proven success in construction sales or business development highly preferred
• Existing relationships with general contractors is a major plus
• Experience in landscaping, painting, or related trades is a strong advantage
• Strong math skills, attention to detail, and organizational ability
• Professional communication and follow-up skills (verbal, written, and email)
• A proactive self-starter with a growth mindset and pride in their work
• Reliable transportation for job site and networking visits (mileage reimbursed)
• Familiarity with QuickBooks, BlueBeam, and Microsoft Office

Ideal Candidate Profile
You're outgoing and confident — someone who enjoys building trust with clients and digging into the numbers. You're just as comfortable walking a job site as you are sending a well-crafted email proposal. You take pride in accuracy, professionalism, and follow-through — and you know how to sell yourself, your company, and your work.
Note: This position is structured to evolve based on performance and results. It requires a balance of sales finesse, technical estimating skills, and a commitment to the company's values and culture.
