What are the responsibilities and job description for the Construction Estimator - Drywall & Painting (Full-time/Part-time) (Large Projects) (In-Person) position at Onsite Interiors LLC?
Job Description:
Onsite Interiors LLC is an established trade contractor serving the Vancouver, WA and Portland metro area since 2016. We specialize in high-quality drywall and painting for large-scale residential projects (custom builds, multi-family) and commercial work. We pride ourselves on reliable execution, precise bidding, and strong client relationships.
As our project volume grows, we are hiring a dedicated Estimator to build and take full ownership of our bidding pipeline. Working out of our local Vancouver office, you will lead our estimating setup: reading complex blueprints, performing digital takeoffs, creating standardized bidding templates, and actively tracking bids to help us win larger contracts. You will handle job leads, conduct site walks, perform material/labor takeoffs, and send out accurate, competitive bids for drywall and painting scopes.
Key Responsibilities:
- Blueprint Takeoffs & Plan Review: Read and analyze architectural blueprints, spec books, and addendums for large residential custom homes, commercial projects, and multi-family scopes.
- Building Estimating Templates: Help establish standardized unit-cost systems, labor production rates, and material templates for fast, accurate pricing.
- Bid Proposal Creation: Build complete cost estimates and formal bid proposals, including clear inclusions, scope exclusions, and margin protections for drywall and paint.
- Pipeline Management & Tracking: Manage the complete bid lifecycle—submitting proposals, tracking bid statuses, following up with General Contractors and builders, and closing new work.
- Vendor & Pricing Strategy: Request updated material quotes from local suppliers (e.g., Sherwin-Williams, drywall distributors) and factor in material pricing swings and waste factors.
What We Are Looking For:
- Trade & Blueprint Expertise: 3 years of experience performing blueprint takeoffs and labor/material estimating for drywall, painting, or related trade scopes (large residential or commercial).
- Digital Takeoff Proficiency: Strong hands-on skill with digital takeoff and spreadsheet tools (e.g., Bluebeam Revu, PlanSwift, OST, or advanced Excel models).
- Department-Builder Mindset: Proven ability to work independently, establish bidding workflows, and track bid win/loss rates from start to finish.
- Driver's License: Valid driver's license and reliable transportation for local site walks and client meetings.
- Bilingual: English & Spanish fluency is a plus, but not required.
What We Offer:
- Base Salary: $65,000.00 – $78,000.00 / year
- Dedicated Workspace: Private, dedicated office space provided in Vancouver, WA.
- Job Type: Full-time/Part-time, In-person
Salary : $65,000 - $78,000
