Build a Bid Desk from Scratch and Own What It Wins

Spec and blueprint work lands on this contractor's desk every month and gets no-bid, because nobody there runs take-offs.

That is the job. You open the channel.

The business is growing and crews are booked out, this hire is about upside, not gaps.

Projects run $15K to $3M, from boiler rooms to distribution centers.

Your incentive is tied to job profitability, so accurate numbers pay you.

What you get

• Base plus a performance incentive linked to project profitability and estimating accuracy
• Hybrid working, with genuine independence in how you run your desk
• The take-off and estimating platform of your choice, bought for you
• First ownership of a new bid channel, with a route into pre-construction or estimating leadership
• Light project management on your own awarded work, if you want it
• A promote-from-within business that trains people and keeps them

Opportunity Overview

A family-owned commercial roofing contractor. The model is private, relationship-led commercial re-roofing and service, weighted toward production with a service division growing quickly.

Delivery runs through in-house staff alongside an established subcontractor base, supported by dedicated service, metal shop and finance functions.

Work spans $15K repairs through to $3M distribution center re-roofs, covering schools, warehouses, shopping plazas and places of worship across both private and public projects.

Ownership is long-term and independent, with no private equity involvement and a stated goal of regional market share rather than national scale. Estimating currently runs without a dedicated blueprint take-off function, which is exactly what this hire creates.

Your Role

• Take spec and blueprint opportunities from drawings through take-off, pricing, bid and award
• Own bid packages, submittals and pre-construction requirements end to end
• Decide what is worth bidding and what is not
• Hand awarded work into operations and stay close enough to protect the margin you priced
• Track budgets, job performance and profitability on your own projects
• Represent the business in GC and project meetings

Key Requirements

• Currently living within a 2.5hr drive from Providence, RI
• Genuine blueprint take-off and construction estimating experience sales estimating alone will not cover it
• Working understanding of how a spec-driven project moves from bid to award to production
• Able to read and price from drawings and specifications independently
• Commercial roofing preferred; strong estimators from GC, flooring or another trade will be taught the roofing

This is a confidential search. If you can price from drawings and want to build a bid function rather than sit in one, apply today or reach out for a discreet conversation.
