Door and Hardware Estimator

A growing commercial door and hardware contractor is looking to add an experienced Door Service Estimator / Project Manager to its team in Cocoa, Florida.

This is a great opportunity for someone with a background in commercial doors, hardware, estimating and project coordination who can manage service work and smaller projects from the initial site visit through estimating, material procurement, installation and final billing.

The role will focus on repair, replacement and small project work across commercial doors, frames, hardware and related systems, working closely with customers, contractors, suppliers and field teams. Projects will typically range from smaller service calls to approximately $150,000.

• Visit customers, document existing conditions, take field measurements, identify hardware, and define repair or replacement scope.
• Read Division 8 drawings and hardware schedules; complete door and hardware takeoffs and prepare clear, timely proposals with appropriate pricing and margin.
• Follow up on open proposals, answer customer questions, and coordinate final review of larger or complicated estimates with the Director of Doors and Hardware.
• Order and expedite doors, frames, hardware, and related materials; coordinate technicians, vendors, site access, schedules, and project handoffs.
• Manage customer communication, change orders, job documentation, closeout, and invoice-ready information through completion.
• Build relationships with existing customers, facility managers, general contractors, and suppliers; support preventive maintenance proposals and repeat service work.
• Maintain accurate proposal, awarded-work, backlog, and job-margin information for the weekly service review.

• At least five years of commercial door and hardware experience, including direct estimating of service work and small projects.
• Strong knowledge of hollow-metal and wood doors, frames, closers, exit devices, hinges, locks, operators, and storefront door systems; ability to identify field hardware and develop replacement solutions.
• Experience reading Division 8 plans and hardware schedules, preparing proposals, purchasing materials, and coordinating installation through billing.
• Comfort using Bluebeam and estimating or project tools; SpecWorks or comparable hardware software is preferred.
• Strong customer communication, organization, follow-through, and ability to manage several active jobs independently. Central Florida facility, contractor, or supplier relationships are a plus.
