Commercial Roofing Estimator
National Roof Co. | Goodlettsville, TN
Full-Time | $75,000–$110,000 per year
National Roof Co. is seeking an experienced Commercial Roofing Estimator to join our team in Goodlettsville, TN.
We are looking for someone who knows commercial roofing and understands how a job is actually built and executed—from materials and labor to production requirements, jobsite conditions, and potential scope issues—and can turn that knowledge into accurate estimates and professional proposals.
This is not an entry-level estimating position. Previous hands-on commercial roofing estimating experience is required. Experience working within a CRM or roofing management platform is also important.
What You'll Do
- Prepare detailed estimates and professional proposals for commercial, multi-family, and select residential roofing projects
- Provide oversight and direction to our Service Technician Team
- Review inspections, measurements, photographs, plans, drawings, and specifications to develop accurate scopes of work
- Perform takeoffs and calculate material quantities, labor requirements, waste factors, and project costs
- Obtain and evaluate vendor, material, and subcontractor pricing
- Build and maintain estimates, proposals, and project information within the company's CRM
- Prepare bids, revisions, and change orders
- Attend pre-bid meetings and conduct site visits as needed
- Identify scope gaps, jobsite conditions, and potential cost issues before proposals are submitted
- Work closely with sales, production, and operations to confirm scope and pricing
- Assist with insurance-related roofing estimates and documentation
- Help ensure a smooth handoff from estimating to production
Roofing Experience
Working knowledge of multiple roofing systems is important, including:
- TPO
- EPDM
- PVC
- Modified Bitumen

What We're Looking For
- 3 years of commercial roofing estimating or closely related commercial roofing experience
- Hands-on experience creating roofing estimates and customer-facing proposals
- Experience working with a CRM, roofing management, or construction management platform
- Strong understanding of commercial roofing materials, installation methods, labor requirements, and field operations
- Ability to read plans, specifications, measurements, and roofing details
- Experience calculating material and labor requirements
- Understanding of vendor and subcontractor pricing
- Ability to identify scope gaps and job conditions that could impact project profitability
- Strong attention to detail, organization, and time management
- Ability to manage multiple estimates and proposal deadlines
- Strong communication skills and ability to work with sales, field, production, and management teams
Preferred Experience
- Experience preparing estimates for insurance-related roofing projects
- Experience with roofing or construction CRM platforms
- JobNimbus experience is a plus, but is not required
