If you’re a commercial roofing estimator who enjoys challenging projects, values autonomy, and wants to work with a team that genuinely appreciates technical expertise, this opportunity may be worth exploring.

Our client is a highly respected, privately owned commercial roofing contractor serving the Chicagoland market. They have built their reputation by tackling complex commercial projects that many contractors simply won’t pursue.

This is not a volume-driven estimating environment where you’re expected to churn through bids. Their projects require thoughtful analysis, attention to detail, and a strong understanding of commercial roofing systems.

You’ll be involved with a wide range of technically challenging work, including:

  • Universities and educational facilities
  • Government and municipal projects

  • Collaborative, team-oriented culture
  • Direct access to decision-makers
  • Opportunity to work on high-profile projects
  • Stable backlog of work
  • Flexibility based on your strengths and experience

    The company values people who take ownership of their work, communicate effectively, and enjoy solving complex challenges.

    Responsibilities

  • Prepare detailed estimates for commercial roofing projects
  • Review plans, specifications, and bid documents
  • Perform takeoffs and pricing analysis
  • Coordinate with operations and project management teams
  • Participate in project handoff and preconstruction activities
  • Help identify project risks and opportunities before construction begins

    Qualifications

  • Commercial roofing estimating experience
  • Knowledge of TPO, PVC, EPDM, Modified Bitumen, BUR, and related roofing systems
  • Ability to read and interpret construction documents
  • Strong organizational and communication skills
  • Experience managing multiple bids simultaneously
  • The EDGE experience is a plus but not required

    Compensation & Benefits

  • $100,000 - $140,000 Base Salary
  • 100% Company-Paid Health Insurance
  • Deductible Reimbursement Program
  • 401(k)
  • Company Contribution of 5%
  • Additional Compensation Opportunities
  • Long-Term Career Development

This opportunity is ideal for an estimator who takes pride in their work, enjoys technical projects, and wants to be part of a company where quality and relationships still matter. If this role reads like the right fit, please email me at kkipp@talentsphere.ca. I look forward to hearing from you.
