[Hiring] Material Takeoffs & Cost Estimation @Better-Pros

Role Description

Are you an experienced estimator with a sharp eye for architectural drawings and a solid track record in quantity takeoffs, pricing, and quotation preparation? Do you enjoy learning new products quickly and helping a team respond to more opportunities without missing a beat? We’re looking for a Remote Estimator to support our client’s window and door projects across luxury residential work, taking on takeoffs, pricing, and quotes to reduce the estimating workload currently shared by the internal team. This is a flexible opportunity for a fast learner who can become productive quickly with minimal training. This position supports projects in Florida, so availability to work on Eastern Time (ET) is required.

What you'll do:

• Review and interpret architectural drawings to support window and door estimating.
• Perform accurate, detailed quantity takeoffs to support estimates and quotations.
• Help prepare estimates and quotes for the company’s window and door packages.
• Take part in pricing work beyond quantity takeoffs, contributing directly to the accuracy and competitiveness of each quote.
• Use the company’s existing training templates and pricing references to deliver consistent, reliable work.
• Work closely with the team to learn the company’s products and estimating process.
• Help the company respond in a timely manner to opportunities the existing team doesn’t currently have time to address.
• Potentially support shop drawings if you also bring drafting experience.

Qualifications

• Proven experience in estimating and quantity takeoffs.
• Strong ability to read and understand architectural drawings, including how building components fit together.
• Experience working on luxury residential projects.
• Proficiency in AutoCAD.
• Ability to learn quickly, retain information, and become productive without extensive or repeated training. Minimizing the training burden is a top priority for this role.
• Full ownership and autonomy: someone who applies instructions independently, communicates proactively, and keeps work moving.
• Strong attention to detail, organization, and the ability to manage multiple quotes while meeting deadlines.
• Advanced English proficiency.
• Reliable availability and a consistent work schedule.

Requirements

• A background or degree in architecture.
• Familiarity with window and door products, fenestration systems, or similar building components.
• Drafting experience, especially with window and door shop drawings.
• Experience working with hospitality or commercial projects.
• Experience working directly with U.S.-based contractors, suppliers, or architectural firms.

Benefits

• Competitive compensation.
• Flexibility.
• Constant learning and growth.
• The opportunity to work anywhere you want with one of our +130 active clients across the United States.
