Job Description

Project Planner/Sales&Estimating - Common Vision

Location - Hamden, CT

Industry - Residential Remodeling

Do you have a builder's brain and a salesperson's heart?  

At Common Vision, we've spent 40 years earning the trust of Connecticut homeowners—so much so that over 90% of our business comes from referrals and past clients. We're looking for a Project Planner who can do it all: sell with integrity, estimate with accuracy, and guide clients through every step of their remodeling journey. If you're tired of cold-calling and ready to join a team that shares your Common Vision, we want to hear from you.  

About Us  

Since 1986, Common Vision has been the premier Design-Build remodeling firm in the Greater New Haven area. We specialize in transforming residential spaces through thoughtful design, expert craftsmanship, and an unwavering commitment to our clients. From kitchens and baths to whole-home renovations and additions, we guide homeowners through every stage of the process—from initial concept to final walkthrough. 

Led by owner Cy Miller, our team operates with honesty, accountability, and a genuine care for each other and our clients. We believe in "no finger-pointing," learning from mistakes, and growing together. 

Common Vision isn't just our name—it's our philosophy.  

Summary of Responsibilities  

In this role, you'll combine sales acumen with project planning expertise—qualifying leads, creating detailed estimates, guiding design decisions, and preparing projects for construction—all while delivering the exceptional client experience our referral-driven reputation is built on.

• Partner with production during job startup and remain a trusted resource throughout construction 
• Manage active projects at various stages while staying organized and responsive 
• Build lasting relationships —most of our business comes from referrals, so client trust is everything 

What You’ll Bring  

• 3–5 years in residential remodeling sales, estimating, or project management 
• Strong estimating and budgeting skills 
• Collaborative mindset—you thrive on teamwork 
• Client-first attitude with excellent communication
