What you’ll do:

• Review drawings, specifications, and other construction documents to determine project requirements.

• Perform digital material takeoffs and prepare timely estimates for commercial low‑slop roofing projects.

• Identify the components required for single‑ply, modified bitumen, and built‑up roofing systems, including manufacturer‑specific requirements.

What you’ll bring:

• Minimum of 5 years of commercial roofing estimating experience, with strong knowledge of low‑slop systems such as TPO, PVC, EPDM, modified bitumen, and BUR.

• Familiarity with commercial roofing manufacturers, products, installation methods, and warranty requirements.

• Experience with digital takeoff tools such as The EDGE, Bluebeam, or PlanSwift, plus proficiency in Microsoft Excel.

• Clear communication skills and the confidence to explain an estimate to sales teams, contractors, and other partners.

• Strong attention to detail and the ability to manage multiple estimates and deadlines.

Experience with roofing contractors, manufacturers, manufacturer representatives, or building products distribution is valuable. We’re especially interested in candidates who have estimated commercial roofing projects firsthand and understand how the materials come together in the field.
