About the Role
We are looking for a highly experienced Lumber Estimator with a proven track record in structural framing lumber take-offs for residential and light commercial projects. This is not a generic estimating role — we are seeking candidates who have specifically estimated framing packages for:

  • Multi-family housing (apartments, duplexes, townhomes, condominiums)
  • Light commercial / office space projects that require structural lumber
Key Responsibilities 
  • Perform accurate, detailed material take-offs for structural framing lumber, sheathing, and related hardware directly from architectural and structural drawings.
  • Analyze residential and light commercial plans to determine material requirements and quantities.
  • Collaborate with procurement to finalize costs, select materials, and maintain competitive bids.
  • Maintain organized records of estimates, bids, and cost histories.
  • Coordinate with design, sales, and field teams to ensure accuracy and timely delivery of materials.
  • Use estimating software (PlanSwift or similar) to streamline and standardize take-offs.
  • Assist in training and mentoring other estimators when needed.
  • Participate in client and salesperson meetings to clarify scope and ensure customer satisfaction.
Qualifications
 
  • Minimum 3 years of direct experience estimating framing lumber packages for residential or light commercial construction.
  • Solid knowledge of wood construction methods and local building codes.
  • Ability to accurately read and interpret architectural and structural plans required.
  • Proficiency with estimating software (Trade Tek, Plan swift or similar preferred).
  • Strong mathematical, organizational, and communication skills.
  • Ability to work under deadlines and handle multiple bids simultaneously.
Work Schedule & Expectations 
  • Monday – Friday, 7:00 AM – 4:00 PM (occasional overtime as deadlines require).
  • Meet set expectation on turnaround of 10 business days from bid log entry to completed take-off.
  • Consistent communication with managers and team members regarding project status.
Benefits 
  • Medical, dental, and vision insurance
  • Life and disability coverage
  • 401(k) with company contribution
  • Paid time off and holidays

You are being given the opportunity to provide the following information in order to help us comply with federal and state Equal Employment Opportunity/Affirmative Action record keeping, reporting, and other legal requirements.

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
