What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a commercial estimating role where I can drive accurate takeoffs, cost and budget control, and negotiated change orders—applying coatings/finishes expertise to meet compliance and performance targets with strong PM/GC collaboration.

I’m a Commercial Finishes Estimator with 10+ years across commercial coatings, wall protection, wall covering, and paint. I build accurate construction estimates by reviewing architectural drawings and specifications, then recommend finish solutions that balance performance, compliance, and budget requirements.

Since February 2025, I’ve prepared 50+ commercial and industrial estimates each month, supporting project values from $5,000 to $300,000 and annual bid volume exceeding $1 million. I develop detailed takeoffs and pricing proposals, collaborate with project managers on 350+ projects annually, and negotiate 50+ change orders per year—adding an additional $200,000 in project revenue.

I also bring strong operational leadership from managing a $1M+ annual-revenue retail store, driving 11% sales growth while maintaining profitability targets. I’ve owned inventory and customer outcomes, trained and mentored 40+ employees, and supervised a team to improve performance, onboarding, and service consistency.

I bring a practical, customer-focused mindset to estimating work—coordinating with suppliers, using project tools to support cost accuracy, and providing value-engineering alternatives that help clients hit project goals without losing control of spend.
