Painting Estimator

Our client is an established commercial construction contractor based in the Charlotte area, delivering painting, drywall, acoustical and firestopping services across a range of commercial projects.

The company is committed to quality workmanship, competitive pricing and maintaining strong relationships with general contractors and project partners.

As a Painting Estimator, you'll play an important role in pricing commercial painting projects and supporting the company's bidding and business development activities.

Key responsibilities include:

• Reviewing construction drawings, specifications and bid documents.

• Completing detailed quantity take-offs using On-Screen Takeoff (OST).

• Preparing estimates and pricing using Quick Bid.

• Calculating labour, material and other project costs.

• Preparing accurate, competitive bid proposals and tender submissions.

• Identifying scope requirements, discrepancies and potential estimating risks.

• Coordinating with internal teams and project stakeholders to clarify scope and pricing.

• Managing multiple estimating deadlines and maintaining accurate bid documentation.

Requirements:

• Approximately five years of commercial painting estimating experience preferred.

• Proficiency with On-Screen Takeoff (OST) and Quick Bid.

• Strong understanding of commercial painting scopes, materials and labour costs.

• Ability to read and interpret construction drawings and specifications.

• Strong organisational skills and the ability to work independently.

• Willingness to work in the Charlotte, North Carolina area, with relocation considered.

The ideal candidate will have a strong background in commercial painting estimating, with approximately five years of relevant experience and proficiency in On-Screen Takeoff (OST) and Quick Bid.

You'll be confident interpreting construction drawings and specifications, completing detailed take-offs and preparing accurate, competitive estimates. You should be comfortable managing estimating assignments independently, with strong attention to detail and the ability to meet tender deadlines.

We're looking for an experienced estimator who can contribute from day one, rather than someone who requires significant training.
