National Ceramic Tile & Stone is looking for an experienced Estimator to lead pricing and bid strategy for our San Francisco Bay Area market. We supply and install tile, natural stone, and surface materials for residential and commercial projects across Northern California, and we need a sharp, driven estimator who can turn plans into winning, profitable bids — fast.

If you love numbers, know construction drawings inside and out, and want to be the go-to person who keeps the pipeline full of great jobs, we want to talk to you.

WHAT YOU'LL DO
- Review architectural and construction drawings, specs, and scopes of work to develop complete, accurate material and labor takeoffs for tile and stone installations.
- Prepare competitive, profitable bids and proposals for residential builders, general contractors, commercial developers, and homeowners across the Bay Area.
- Source and price materials — porcelain, ceramic, natural stone, LVT, and specialty surfaces — while maintaining strong vendor relationships and negotiating favorable pricing.
- Build and maintain relationships with GCs, architects, designers, and property managers to keep National Ceramic Tile & Stone top-of-mind for upcoming work.
- Track outstanding bids, follow up proactively, and convert quotes into signed contracts.
- Collaborate with project managers and installation crews to ensure estimates translate into smooth, on-budget execution.
- Monitor market pricing trends and competitor activity across the East Bay, South Bay, and San Francisco to keep bids sharp.
- Maintain organized, up-to-date records in our estimating and CRM software.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
- 5+ years of estimating experience in tile, stone, flooring, or a related construction trade (required).
- Ability to read and interpret blueprints, specs, and construction documents with precision.
- Strong math and analytical skills — you catch errors before they cost the company money.
- A closer's mindset: you follow up, build trust, and win the job.
- Excellent communication skills with contractors, vendors, and internal teams.
- Proficiency with estimating software, Excel, Bluebeam, Procore and Textura.
- Self-motivated, detail-obsessed, and able to manage multiple bids under deadline pressure.
- Familiarity with the Sacramento / Northern California and Bay Area construction market is a strong plus.
- Comfortable traveling between the Sacramento region and the Bay Area as project needs require.
- Valid driver's license for occasional job-site visits.
