Commercial Sales Estimator (High-Performance Role)
CertaPro Painters® of Harrisburg, PA
This Is Not an Entry-Level Estimating Role
We are looking for a proven Commercial Sales Estimator who knows how to win work, price it right, and drive revenue.
If you’ve built estimates, chased bids, and closed real commercial painting projects, keep reading.
If you’re still learning — this is not the role.
What You’ll Do
- Hunt and develop new commercial painting opportunities
- Walk jobs, break down scope, and build accurate, competitive estimates
- Bid from plans, specs, and real-world site conditions
- Build relationships with GCs, property managers, and decision-makers
-
Close deals — not just send bids
- Own your pipeline and consistently drive revenue growth
- Deliver work that hits margin targets, not just volume
What We Expect (Non-Negotiable)
- 3+ years of COMMERCIAL painting estimating experience
- You understand:
- Production rates
- Labor burden & job costing
- Coatings systems & surface prep
- You’ve bid and WON commercial work
- You’re comfortable being accountable to numbers and results
- You don’t need hand-holding — you execute
What Separates Top Candidates
- You’ve worked with plans & specs regularly
- You’ve built relationships with GCs or property managers
- You know how to balance competitiveness vs. profitability
- You take pride in closing, not quoting
Compensation (Built for Producers)
- Base salary + strong performance-based commission (On Target Earnings - over $100k)
- High upside for closers
- Compensation aligned with closed and collected work
- Vehicle/allowance (as applicable)
- PTO + holidays
Why This Role Is Different
- You won’t be buried in red tape — you’ll be expected to produce
- Strong brand recognition with CertaPro Painters
- Established operations team so you can focus on selling
- Real opportunity to build and dominate the commercial division
Bottom Line
We are building a serious commercial sales engine.
We want someone who can step in, take ownership, and drive revenue immediately.
Apply If:
You can point to projects you’ve estimated and WON, and you’re ready to do more of it — at a higher level.
