Estimator – Coatings & Industrial Services

Estimator – Coatings & Industrial Services | Fairfield, CA | $100,000/yr

I'm partnering with a global leader in specialty industrial and access services, recognized for driving safety, efficiency, and innovation across major industrial, commercial, and infrastructure projects. With an extensive network of locations across the globe and a workforce of tens of thousands of skilled professionals, this organization offers candidates both stability and significant room for growth within a highly respected industry leader.

With decades of experience, this organization is known for its commitment to safety and its ability to support some of the world's most complex projects. Its portfolio includes engineering, project management, insulation, coatings, temporary structural support solutions, specialty industrial services, and specialized work access solutions — giving employees exposure to cutting-edge tools and large-scale operations.

Why This Role Stands Out

• $100,000/yr salary plus possible spot bonuses for strong performance
• Full benefits — medical, dental, vision, life, and disability
• Strong 401(k)
• Hybrid flexibility after tenure
• Independence in your role with the support of a strong team
• Career advancement inside a globally recognized organization with a deep commitment to workforce development and safety

Team members benefit from a culture built on continuous improvement, technical expertise, and operational excellence, working within industries such as oil & gas, power generation, infrastructure, and commercial construction. The company's scale and reputation provide significant opportunities for career advancement, cross-functional experience, and long-term professional development.
