About the Company:

About Our Client:

Our client is a thriving carpentry business based in Northern New Jersey, specializing in light gauge metal framing, gypsum board, ceilings, and door/frame installations. They handle renovations and new construction, serving various sectors, including commercial, industrial, storage, high-rise, and retail. Their expertise spans retrofits, renovations of existing buildings, and complete carpentry fit-outs for industrial, logistical, and residential spaces. With a commitment to precision and excellence, they are seeking an experienced Commercial Carpentry Estimator to join their team and contribute to the success of their growing portfolio.

The Role:

As a Commercial Carpentry Estimator, you will analyze blueprints, prepare detailed cost estimates, and ensure competitive and profitable bids. You’ll collaborate closely with project managers, helping to transition bids into well-executed builds for warehouse, retail, and office fit-out projects.

Please Note:

• This can be onsite or even a hybrid or remote role
• This is not an Interior Estimator role. While interior estimators typically focus on high-end finishes such as millwork, flooring, wall coverings, and specialty interior elements, this position is specifically for structural and commercial carpentry.

• Evaluate project plans and specifications to determine scope, materials, and labor requirements.

• Use estimating software (e.g., PlanSwift, Bluebeam) to generate accurate cost estimates.
• Solicits and analyzes bids from subcontractors and suppliers to ensure competitive pricing.
• Prepare detailed proposals and bid submissions within required deadlines.
• Coordinate with project managers to facilitate a smooth transition from bid to build.
• To enhance estimating accuracy, stay informed on industry trends, labor costs, and material pricing.

What You Bring:

• 5–10 years of commercial estimating experience in carpentry and interior trades.
• Expertise in metal framing, drywall, ceilings, and door installations.
• Strong ability to read and interpret blueprints and specifications.
• Proficiency in estimating software (PlanSwift, Bluebeam, Procore, etc.).
• Familiarity with NJ/NY construction markets is a plus.
• Excellent analytical, mathematical, and problem-solving skills.
• Strong communication and negotiation abilities for vendor coordination.

Why Join Our Client?

• Competitive salary: $125,000 to $ 165,000 + potential performance bonuses.
• Comprehensive benefits: Health insurance, 401(k) with company match.
• Career growth opportunities within a fast-paced, expanding company.
• Exciting, high-impact projects that shape commercial spaces across NJ and NY.
