SUMMARY: We are hiring an experienced Commercial Flooring Estimator to join our Dallas estimating team. This is an immediate opening to backfill a long-tenured estimator and step into a well established, high-performing operation.

In this role, you will work alongside a senior estimator and partner directly with our Sales team to produce accurate, competitive bids across a wide range of commercial sectors. This position offers stability, collaboration, and the opportunity to make an immediate impact.

The ideal candidate for our Estimator role has:

• Proven experience as a Commercial Flooring Estimator
• Demonstrated ability to run large-scale commercial takeoffs independently
• Strong plan-reading and specification review skills
• Working knowledge of the RFI process and when to formally request clarification to mitigate risk
• Detail-oriented, deadline-driven, and collaborative in approach

This role is well-suited for an estimator who values accuracy, accountability, and clear communication, and who understands that well-managed RFIs are critical to protecting margins and ensuring successful project execution.

WHAT YOU’LL DO:

• Prepare detailed flooring takeoffs and estimates using MeasureSquare 8 across carpet, LVT, sheet vinyl, tile, hardwood, and other resilient flooring products
• Thoroughly review construction documents, including plans, specifications, and addenda, to identify scope gaps before they become field issues
• Issue, track, and resolve RFIs (Requests for Information) to clarify unclear scope, allowances, substitutions, and design intent
• Collaborate closely with Sales Representatives to finalize project budgets and support pricing presentations to general contractors and owners
• Maintain proactive communication with internal stakeholders regarding bid schedules, revisions, and scope changes
• Manage multiple active bids simultaneously while meeting committed deadlines
• Review estimates produced by third party estimating vendors and oversee vendor compliance with estimating software updates, templates, and standard operating procedures to ensure consistency across all estimates
• Respond promptly and professionally to client questions, revisions, and scope changes

WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR:

• Minimum 4 years of commercial flooring estimating experience (multifamily only or residential only experience does not align with this role)
• Proficiency in MeasureSquare 8 or a directly comparable commercial flooring estimating platform
• Working knowledge of carpet, LVT, sheet vinyl, tile, and hardwood flooring systems, including substrate preparation and moisture mitigation considerations
• Strong ability to read and interpret architectural, finish, and detail drawings
• Proven track record of managing multiple bids with overlapping deadlines
• Strong written and verbal communication skills
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office applications

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience estimating across multiple commercial sectors (e.g., healthcare, tenant improvement, multifamily, education)
• Experience coordinating with or reviewing estimates from third party estimating vendors
• Background working in close partnership with an outside sales team
• Familiarity with AIA contract documents and standard commercial bidding processes
