Job description

Senior Lead Estimator — Commercial Painting (Remote, Tampa FL)

Finishing Touch Plus Florida Location: Remote (Tampa, FL based)

Job Type: Full-Time

Compensation: $130,000 base + commission (OTE $140,000–$150,000)

Lead the estimating department at one of the region's premier commercial painting contractors

Finishing Touch Plus Florida is growing, and we're looking for a Senior Lead Estimator to build and head up our estimating department. We're part of one of the largest commercial painting operations in the country — in fact, our group is the single largest purchaser of Sherwin-Williams paint in the Midwest. That scale means high project volume, sophisticated bids, and a real opportunity for a seasoned estimator to own the function and shape how it runs.

This is a leadership seat. You'll set the standard for how we take off, price, and win work — and you'll be rewarded for the volume you help close.

What you'll do

  • Own the estimating function: lead takeoffs, pricing, and bid strategy for commercial painting projects across new construction, remodel, and tenant-improvement work.
  • Produce accurate, competitive estimates and proposals at a steady cadence (target of 4–5 estimates/proposals per week, depending on size).
  • Build and standardize estimating processes and best practices for new construction and remodel/TI work.
  • Perform quantity takeoffs and build estimates using cloud-based takeoff and cloud-based estimating platforms.
  • Review plans and specifications, identify scope, and drive bid-to-award accuracy and margin discipline.
  • Coordinate onsite job walks when necessary to verify scope and conditions.
  • Mentor and support the estimating team as the department grows.

What you bring

  • 5–7 years of estimating experience, ideally in commercial painting or a related specialty-trade / construction environment.
  • Hands-on expertise with cloud-based takeoff software and cloud-based estimating software — this is a must-have.
  • A proven track record of accurate, winning estimates and strong margin performance.
  • The judgment and leadership to build a department, set standards, and own outcomes.
  • Strong communication skills and the discipline to hit weekly production targets and quarterly performance goals.

Compensation & benefits

  • Base salary: $130,000/year, reviewed annually.
  • Performance commission on the projects you estimate and win — the more awarded work you drive, the more you earn. Realistic on-target earnings of $140,000–$150,000.
  • Health insurance: flexible ICHRA program — choose the plan that fits your needs from options in your area, with a monthly employer contribution toward your premium.
  • 401(k) retirement plan with company match.
  • Paid time off: 80 hours annually, effective at your start date.
  • Remote flexibility: this role is remote for 2026. (If a Tampa office opens in the future, some in-office hours may be required.)

Schedule

Full-time, Monday–Friday, 8:00 AM–5:00 PM. Quarterly performance reviews.

How to apply

Apply directly through ZipRecruiter with your resume. Candidates who highlight their commercial painting estimating experience and the specific cloud takeoff/estimating platforms they've used will move to the top of the list.
