Are you the kind of person who sees a fence and thinks, "I wonder what is the cost?" Do you enjoy turning measurements and specs into real-world projects? If so, we've got just the opportunity for you!
At Century Fence, we're looking for a sharp, driven Estimator to join our La Crosse team. You'll be the mastermind behind our commercial fencing projects-turning blueprints into accurate bids and helping clients build boundaries that last.
What You'll Be Doing:
- Taking ownership of your territory-scheduling appointments, managing travel, and jumping on bid opportunities like a pro
- Visiting commercial properties to scope out the scene-measuring, analyzing, and understanding the lay of the land
- Reviewing plans and drawings to figure out exactly what fence goes where (and how much it will cost)
- Estimating materials, labor, equipment-if it's part of the job, you're pricing it out
- Crafting and submitting proposals that win projects and impress clients
- Building strong, lasting relationships with customers
What You Bring to the Table:
- Experience in fence construction, sales, or related work (you know your way around a job site)
- Ability to read and interpret blueprints without breaking a sweat
- Top-tier communication and negotiation skills-you're confident, clear, and persuasive
- High school diploma or equivalent preferred
- Physical stamina to handle the active side of the job: walking, lifting, climbing, etc
- A valid driver's license and reliable wheels-you'll be on the move
What We Offer You:
- Competitive pay plus bonus potential-your hard work pays off
- Full benefits package: health, dental, vision, even pet insurance
- Life and disability coverage, because we've got your back
- 401(k) with a profit-sharing plan-invest in your future
- Paid holidays and time off-you've earned it
- A supportive team, growth opportunities, and a company that values what you bring to the table
Come build with us. Whether it's a high-security fence or a decorative barrier, you'll be a key player in projects that shape communities-and protect what matters.
