Job description

About the Role

As our client expands their Interiors Specialty Trade Contracting, they're seeking a results-driven Drywall Estimator for this interiors subcontractor — from estimating and scheduling to field execution, safety, and budget. This role partners directly with executive leadership to support and expand existing client base, strengthen field performance, and be a part of a high-performing team as the company continues to grow in San Antonio.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead project delivery, margin protection, and schedule adherence across multiple interiors projects (drywall, framing, ceilings).
• Implement standardized PM tools and processes for scheduling, cost tracking, productivity, and closeout.
• Manager / Doer, this role will estimate and lead estimating (including outsourced partners); enforcing disciplined bid handoffs.
• Collaborate with a field team of superintendents and foremen, driving safety, accountability, and results.
• Establish a consistent operating rhythm: WIP reviews, cash/AR tracking, and risk management.
• Standardize procurement, vendor relationships, and logistics to reduce waste and delays.

Candidate Profile

• 8–15+ years of experience in commercial interiors subcontracting or GC operations (drywall/metal stud preferred).
• 5+ years of estimating experience with takeoffs and scope assembly.
• Proven success leading multiple projects of various size and scope with strong financial and operational results.
• Field-first leader with excellent communication, organization, and problem-solving skills.
• Bonus: Multi-trade exposure and San Antonio market relationships.

Why This Role Stands Out

This company is big enough to do complex projects with recognized clients, yet small enough where everyone is rewarded for their personal accomplishments and recognized for their emphasis on craftsmanship, efficiency, and attention to detail. Their commercial finish-out involves a range of work from structural enhancements to final finishes. If your commitment to a high-quality standard of work is not being recognized, let’s talk.
