At J National, we don’t just build projects - we build partnerships, elevate performance, and exceed expectations. As a leader in large-scale construction and restoration projects, we are looking for an energetic, detail-driven, and sales-savvy Estimator ready to take ownership, drive results, and grow with one of the most dynamic teams in the industry.

This is more than just estimating - it's strategic thinking, cost intelligence, and proactive selling of innovative construction solutions. If you thrive in a fast-paced environment where you can influence outcomes, shape projects from day one, and work with a team that values ambition and bold thinking, we want to hear from you.

What You’ll Do

• Develop detailed, accurate estimates at multiple project phases, from early concept through final pricing - across multiple trades and disciplines.

• Sell your strategy. Communicate and present cost plans persuasively to internal stakeholders, clients, and subcontractors - making the case for your approach.

• Drive takeoff execution and scope-of-work clarity across divisions such as Roofing, Siding, Fire/Flood Restoration, Ground-up Construction, and Renovations.

• Solicit and negotiate pricing from vendors and subcontractors - leveraging your market knowledge to secure competitive, high-quality partnerships.

• Compare and level bids, identifying value engineering opportunities and cost efficiencies.

• Develop project strategies that include opportunities for self-perform trades, material selection, delivery sequencing, and process improvements.

• Collaborate cross-functionally with Self-Perform Groups, Materials Teams, and Manufacturing to ensure successful execution from estimate to completion.

• Utilize and enhance our centralized estimating database to maintain consistency and historical cost reference.

• Recommend improvements to reduce variances between actual and estimated costs - and help shape how J National drives value in every bid.
• Analyze cost trends to support strategic pricing and competitive positioning.

Who You Are

• A natural seller - able to present ideas, advocate for your strategies, and win buy-in across internal and external audiences.
• A high-achiever with 2–5 years of construction estimating experience, ideally in the multi-family or large-scale renovation industry.
• Confident in your knowledge of Roofing, Siding, Fire/Flood Restoration, and both ground-up and complex renovation projects.
• A self-starter with a drive for personal and professional growth - you don’t wait for direction, you create momentum.
• Comfortable navigating multiple concurrent projects, with the discipline to prioritize effectively and the energy to keep things moving.
• A clear communicator - able to translate complex estimates into simple narratives that align teams and support decisions.
• Highly organized, deadline-focused, and flexible enough to thrive in an evolving work environment.
• Passionate about quality, results, and customer satisfaction.

Why J National?

• We’re builders, creators, and problem-solvers - committed to doing what others say can’t be done.
• We offer career growth, real autonomy, and a seat at the table on meaningful projects.
• Our team culture values accountability, innovation, and a winning mindset.
• You’ll be surrounded by motivated peers, supportive leadership, and big opportunities.
