Commercial Sales Estimator (High-Performance Role)

CertaPro Painters® of Harrisburg, PA

This Is Not an Entry-Level Estimating Role

We are looking for a proven Commercial Sales Estimator who knows how to win work, price it right, and drive revenue .

If you’ve built estimates, chased bids, and closed real commercial painting projects , keep reading.

If you’re still learning — this is not the role.

What You’ll Do

• Hunt and develop new commercial painting opportunities
• Walk jobs, break down scope, and build accurate, competitive estimates
• Bid from plans, specs, and real-world site conditions
• Build relationships with GCs, property managers, and decision-makers
• Close deals — not just send bids 
• Own your pipeline and consistently drive revenue growth
• Deliver work that hits margin targets, not just volume

What We Expect (Non-Negotiable)

• 3+ years of COMMERCIAL painting estimating experience
• You understand: 
  • Production rates 
  • Labor burden & job costing 
  • Coatings systems & surface prep 
• You’ve bid and WON commercial work
• You’re comfortable being accountable to numbers and results
• You don’t need hand-holding — you execute 

What Separates Top Candidates

• You’ve worked with plans & specs regularly
• You’ve built relationships with GCs or property managers
• You know how to balance competitiveness vs. profitability
• You take pride in closing, not quoting

Compensation (Built for Producers)

• Base salary + strong performance-based commission (On Target Earnings - over $100k)
•   High upside for closers
• Compensation aligned with closed and collected work
• Vehicle/allowance (as applicable) 
• PTO + holidays 

Why This Role Is Different

• You won’t be buried in red tape — you’ll be expected to produce
• Strong brand recognition with CertaPro Painters
• Established operations team so you can focus on selling
• Real opportunity to build and dominate the commercial division

Bottom Line

We are building a serious commercial sales engine.

We want someone who can step in, take ownership, and drive revenue immediately .

Apply If:

You can point to projects you’ve estimated and WON , and you’re ready to do more of it — at a higher level.
