Estimator (Mitigation & Reconstruction) | Metro NY/NJ
About The Position
We are hiring an Estimator who can create accurate, compliant scopes and estimates for both mitigation and reconstruction work. This role partners closely with Project Managers to support fast approvals, strong margins, and clean billing. In restoration, estimating is the bridge between field reality and claim outcomes. Great estimators write scopes that win approvals, protect profitability, and reduce supplements and rework. This role can be based out of either New York or New Jersey, with occasional job-site inspections as needed to improve scoping accuracy. Opportunities in both New York and New Jersey (Metro NY/NJ). Field-based roles require travel across NYC and Northeast NJ as needed.
