COMMERCIAL ROOFING ESTIMATOR
Role Overview
The Commercial Roofing Estimator will be responsible for evaluating commercial roofing opportunities from initial inspection and scope development through estimating, proposal presentation, sales, and project handoff.
This position requires someone with proven commercial roofing estimating experience who can accurately evaluate project requirements, develop competitive estimates while protecting company margins, and communicate professionally with property owners, general contractors, property managers, and other commercial customers.
We are looking for more than someone who can simply enter numbers into estimating software.
The right person will understand commercial roofing systems, labor and material requirements, project complexity, profitability, and how to turn opportunities into profitable commercial roofing projects.
Travel is an essential part of this role.
The Commercial Roofing Estimator must be comfortable traveling regularly from Houston to commercial project sites throughout M & M's Texas service areas, including Austin, San Antonio, Beaumont, Seabrook, and surrounding communities.
