Commercial Sales Estimator

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.

Opportunity is Knocking

Qualities like working hard, getting the job done right, and fostering respect while working as part of a team are core to the CertaPro Painters brand culture. This makes each independently owned and operated CertaPro Painters franchise unique and fulfilling places to work. It is important to not only deliver memorable experiences for customers, but for team members of each independently owned and operated CertaPro Painters franchise, as well.

This franchise is independently owned and operated by a franchisee. Your application will go directly to the franchisee, and all hiring decisions will be made by the management of this franchisee. All inquiries about employment at this franchisee should be made directly to the franchise location, and not to CertaPro Painters Corporate.
