Job description

Commercial Roofing Estimator / Project Manager

Houston, TX | $85,000–$110,000 Base, Based on Experience

If you’re already estimating or managing commercial roofing projects in Houston and you like being involved in the job from the beginning through completion, this one may be worth a conversation.

I’m working with a large, established commercial roofing contractor looking to add an Estimator / Project Manager to its Houston team.

It’s a good mix of both sides of the business. You’ll estimate new construction opportunities, put the numbers together and help win the work, but you won’t just hand it off once it’s sold. You’ll stay involved and manage your projects through completion.

You’ll be working with an experienced team and have the resources behind you to get the work done properly.

Compensation & Benefits

• $85,000–$110,000 base salary, based on experience

• Medical, dental and vision coverage

• 401(k) with company match

• Paid time off

• Paid holidays

What You'll Be Doing

• Review plans, specifications and project requirements

• Prepare estimates, job costing and proposals for commercial roofing projects

• Manage awarded projects from start through completion

• Track labor, materials and overall project costs

• Keep projects on schedule and within budget

• Coordinate with field teams, subcontractors, suppliers and customers

• Manage submittals, schedules, change orders and quality control

• Review purchase orders, contracts, invoices and project documentation

• Handle customer questions and resolve issues as they come up

• Manage project billing and help ensure jobs remain profitable

• Visit jobsites regularly and stay connected to what is happening in the field

What We're Looking For

• 3+ years of construction industry experience

• Commercial roofing experience is strongly preferred

• Experience estimating and/or managing commercial roofing projects

• Good understanding of commercial roofing systems, materials and installation

• Comfortable reading plans, specifications and project documents

• Strong understanding of job costing, labor and material management

• Able to manage multiple projects and priorities

• Strong communication with customers, field teams and subcontractors

• Organized, accountable and able to follow projects through to completion

• Comfortable making decisions and solving problems as they come up

• Working knowledge of Microsoft Excel, Word and related programs

• Valid driver's license

• Comfortable visiting active jobsites and climbing ladders when required

A degree in Construction Management, Engineering or a related field is helpful, but hands‑on commercial roofing and construction experience is highly valued.

Why Consider It?

If you enjoy both sides of commercial roofing — putting the job together and then seeing it through in the field — this gives you the opportunity to do both.

You’ll be joining an established contractor with a strong presence in Houston, a solid team behind you and the resources to deliver the work.
