Job Description

Commercial Drywall Estimator

Location: Dallas, TX
Industry: Commercial Construction / Drywall
Employment Type: Full-Time

Position Overview

Our client is seeking an experienced Commercial Drywall Estimator to join their growing estimating team in Dallas.

This is an opportunity for an estimator who understands the complexity of large commercial drywall projects and can independently perform detailed takeoffs and develop accurate estimates. The ideal candidate will have experience estimating commercial projects valued at $500K or more and understand how project size and complexity impact labor, sequencing, materials, and overall pricing.

This is not a traditional Estimator/Project Manager hybrid role . The primary focus is estimating and preconstruction, with a meaningful client-facing and business development component.

What You'll Do

• Perform detailed takeoffs and estimates for commercial drywall projects

• Review blueprints, specifications, architectural drawings, and project documents

• Develop accurate material, labor, and production estimates

• Analyze project scope, complexity, sequencing, and constructability

• Prepare competitive bids and proposals for large commercial projects

• Work on projects ranging from $500K+ and larger

• Communicate directly with general contractors and clients throughout the estimating process

• Build and maintain strong relationships with key general contractors

• Participate in client meetings and business development activities

• Turn estimates over effectively once projects are awarded

• Collaborate with internal teams to ensure accurate pricing and project expectations

• Manage multiple estimates and deadlines in a high-volume environment

What We're Looking For

• 3+ years of commercial drywall estimating experience

• Proven experience completing takeoffs and estimates on $500K+ commercial projects

• Strong understanding of commercial drywall construction and labor sequencing

• Ability to independently interpret plans, specifications, and project documents

• Strong understanding of materials, labor, production, and project complexity

• Experience working directly with general contractors

• Strong communication and relationship-building skills

• Ability to manage multiple estimates and deadlines

• Detail-oriented with strong organizational skills

• Comfortable in a client-facing role

• Ability to work independently while contributing to a collaborative estimating team

Software

Experience with estimating and takeoff software is preferred. 

Buzzbid, OST. 

Why This Opportunity

• Work on large, complex commercial projects

• Join an established contractor with strong GC relationships

• High-volume estimating environment

• Approximately $10M in estimating volume each month

• Opportunity to work directly with major general contractors

• Strong combination of estimating and business development

• Join a team that values experienced construction professionals

• Opportunity to make an immediate impact rather than learning the fundamentals from scratch

Ideal Candidate

The ideal candidate is someone who can look at a large commercial drywall project and understand what it will actually take to build it.

You should be comfortable performing a complex takeoff, understanding labor sequencing, developing accurate pricing, discussing the project with a GC, and standing behind your estimate.

This is a position for an experienced commercial drywall estimator who wants to work on meaningful projects with reputable general contractors and be part of a company that has built its business around quality relationships and repeat work.
