Estimator -

Insurance and Construction Estimator

Southern California

About the Role

We are hiring an Insurance and Construction Estimator to write and sell restoration and construction work across Southern California. This is not a desk job. The right person is comfortable in the field, in front of clients, and actively looking for the next opportunity rather than waiting for one to land in their inbox.

You will write estimates on work brought in by our sales team, and you are encouraged to bring and grow your own book of business.

What You Will Do

• Perform on site inspections and scope losses across residential and light commercial projects
• Write accurate, defensible estimates in Xactimate and negotiate scope with carriers, adjusters, and property owners
• Identify upsell opportunities and convert scoped work into signed jobs
• Develop and maintain your own client relationships, including agents, property managers, and building owners
• Coordinate with sales and production to move jobs from inspection through completion
• Participate in weekly WIP meetings and keep job documentation current

What We Are Looking For

• Estimating experience in property damage restoration, insurance repair, or construction
• Proficiency in Xactimate. Experience with DocuSketch, Matterport, or 3D scanning technology is a plus
• Ability to sell, not just estimate. This role requires someone who will knock on doors and generate their own opportunities
• Strong understanding of construction means and methods across a range of trade work
• Valid driver's license and willingness to travel throughout the assigned territory

What Sets Us Apart

We are a general contractor first. Insurance restoration is one piece of a broader business that includes tenant improvement, remodel, and public entity RFP work. That mix means more variety in what you write and more room to grow than a straight insurance shop. The estimating function is expanding into new markets, creating real advancement opportunity for people who perform.

Compensation and Benefits

• Competitive base salary commensurate with experience
• Commission paid on closed sales, with no minimum margin requirement
• Commission paid the month following job completion
• Field based role with regular office reporting for team meetings
• Full benefits package

Who This Role Fits

This is a strong fit for an estimator who feels capped by a low volume desk, or for a sales minded construction professional who wants both a stable base and uncapped earning on what they bring in. If you have a portable book of business, we want to talk.
