You will collaborate with our sales and production teams to prepare competitive, detailed, and accurate bids delivered at speed.
Some projects will require you to sign and uphold Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs) due to the sensitive nature of client information.

Review and interpret architectural blueprints, plans, and specifications.
Perform precise takeoffs to determine labor, material, and equipment needs.
Prepare accurate, detailed estimates in Excel and leading bidding software systems.
Deliver bids quickly without sacrificing accuracy or scope alignment.
Work closely with sales to clarify client requirements and with production to confirm execution details.
Track bid outcomes, maintain estimating databases, and adjust strategies as needed.
Uphold NDAs and confidentiality agreements for sensitive client projects.
Qualifications
Proven experience as a commercial estimator (painting, coatings, or related construction trades preferred).
Strong blueprint reading and construction document interpretation skills.
Proficiency in Microsoft Excel and familiarity with industry estimating/bidding platforms.
Demonstrated ability to deliver accurate estimates under time-sensitive deadlines.
Excellent analytical, mathematical, and organizational skills.
Strong communication and collaboration skills.
Must be comfortable signing and upholding NDAs.
Remote candidates must have reliable internet and a professional home-office setup.
What We Offer
Competitive compensation (base + performance incentives). Base pay range begins at 65k
Flexibility to work remotely or at our Hiawatha office.
Professional development and growth opportunities.
Collaborative team culture — focused on accuracy, speed, and results (not sales).
Opportunity to contribute to high-profile projects across Iowa and beyond.
