Role Overview

Start your career in construction estimating with R3 Roofing & Exteriors. You'll learn how to price projects, assemble bids, and support our commercial roofing operations.

  • Experience in purchasing, quoting, procurement, or budget management (preferred)
  • Detail-oriented and organized; able to handle multiple deadlines
  • Clear written and verbal communication skills
  • Curiosity and willingness to learn: online tools, manufacturer training, and mentorship provided
  • Valid driver's license and ability to work safely at heights (training included)
  • Roofing, siding, or construction knowledge is a plus but not required
Training & Growth
  • Day-1 online learning: manufacturer modules, estimating guides, and software tutorials
