We are also open to candidates with strong commercial construction estimating and project management experience who have experience reading plans, coordinating with contractors, and managing projects from start to finish.

This is a great opportunity for someone who wants to take ownership of projects while playing an important role in both winning new work and successfully completing awarded projects.

  • Experience with takeoffs, estimating, and project pricing

  • Strong organization, communication, and follow-through
  • Comfortable working with general contractors, architects, suppliers, and field personnel
  • Knowledge of construction scheduling, submittals, RFIs, and change orders
  • Ability to take ownership of projects and make sound decisions

Commercial glass and glazing experience is preferred, but candidates with strong commercial construction estimating or project management experience are encouraged to apply. The right candidate should be comfortable reading plans, managing projects, and be willing to learn the commercial glass industry.
