Senior Estimator

Senior Estimator — Commercial Specialty Construction

Trenton, NJ · Hybrid (on-site + remote after onboarding) · Full-time, Salaried

Own our estimating function

Macaro Railings is a growing commercial specialty contractor based in Trenton, NJ, and we're hiring an experienced Senior Estimator to take ownership of our estimating process end to end.

This is a hands-on, individual-contributor role — not a desk you inherit, but a function you run. You'll independently take a project from drawings all the way to a submitted bid, working shoulder-to-shoulder with ownership, our Director of Sales, drafting, and our customers. If you're the kind of estimator who wants real autonomy and a direct line to decision-makers, this is that seat.

As we grow, this role can grow into leading an estimating team.

What you'll do

• Review architectural drawings and specifications
• Perform digital quantity takeoffs (STACK)
• Develop project pricing and build complete, detailed estimates
• Prepare clear scopes of work and competitive bid proposals
• Coordinate vendor and subcontractor pricing
• Meet directly with customers to discuss project scope and pricing
• Work closely with the drafting team, Director of Sales, and ownership
• Manage multiple estimates at once and hit bid deadlines
• Improve and standardize our estimating procedures as the owner of the process

What you bring

• Minimum 5 years of commercial construction estimating experience
• Proven ability to independently produce complete, accurate estimates
• Strong proficiency with STACK estimating software
• Strong proficiency with Bluebeam Revu
• Ability to read and interpret commercial construction drawings
• Strong communication and customer-facing skills

Preferred

experience in commercial specialty trades — architectural specialties, millwork, glazing, fabrication, installation, commercial interiors, or similar.

Why join us

• Real ownership — you run the estimating function and shape how it's done
• Direct access to ownership and a clear path to lead an estimating team as we grow
• Hybrid schedule (office + remote) after onboarding
• Performance bonus tied to results

Compensation

Competitive base salary based on experience, plus performance bonus. Full-time, salaried position.
