The Company
I'm conducting a confidential search for a global construction and industrial services company with a major North American footprint. This role is in their coatings division — a high-performing, high-margin business unit focused on water/wastewater treatment, tanks, structural steel, government facilities, and municipal infrastructure.
What You’ll Do
- Build accurate, competitive cost estimates for complex industrial coating and painting projects spanning water/wastewater treatment, tanks, structural steel, bridges, government facilities, and municipal infrastructure
- Run site evaluations, quantify labor and materials, and review project specifications
- Solicit and negotiate pricing with subcontractors and suppliers to build winning, profitable bids
- Work directly with PMs, sales, and operations to make sure bids are compliant and profitable once executed
- Solve problems independently — bring new thinking to access and coating challenges, not just the standard playbook
Who You Are
- You have 5 years of estimating experience and treat every bid like a business case, not just a takeoff. You've personally driven revenue growth and know how to win work, not just price it.
- You have proven expertise in commercial and industrial coatings, surface preparation, and industrial estimating
- You’re proficient with takeoff tools like PlanSwift, OnScreen Takeoff (OST), or similar such as any one of the following: Bluebeam, STACK, Sage Estimating, RSMeans, Procore, Autodesk Takeoff, etc.
- SSPC, NACE/AMPP, or OSHA certifications are a plus
- Nice to have but not required: AutoCAD, Salesforce
