Millwork Estimator

Commercial Architectural Millwork Estimator | $70,000–$75,000

Do you know millwork inside and out — and have the estimating chops to back it up? Sapphire Recruitment is partnering with an established, family-owned millwork and custom cabinetry shop in Syracuse, NY to find an experienced Architectural Millwork Estimator ready to take ownership of the full bid process.

This is a role for someone who knows the millwork industry specifically. Construction estimation experience is a plus, but millwork is a different world — and our client needs someone who speaks that language fluently and isn't afraid to pick up the phone.

What You'll Be Doing

• Read and interpret architectural drawings, millwork shop drawings, and blueprints to develop accurate take-offs
• Build detailed pricing and budgetary proposals using estimating software and Excel
• Research and price materials with precision
• Follow up with potential clients on the bid process — you'll be the voice of the company, so strong communication matters
• Prioritize and manage multiple estimates simultaneously in a small, collaborative team environment
• Occasional CAD work a plus

What You'll Bring

• 5+ years of millwork estimating experience — this is required, not preferred
• Ability to read blueprints and millwork shop drawings confidently
• Proficient in Excel and estimating software
• Strong verbal and written communication skills — you'll be client-facing regularly
• Self-motivated, organized, and reliable with a stable work history
• Solid knowledge of tools, hardware, lumber, and construction materials
• CAD experience a bonus

Details

• Pay: $70,000–$75,000 based on experience
• Schedule: Monday–Thursday 7:00am–5:30pm, Friday 7:00am–12:00pm (some flexibility available)
• Location: Syracuse, NY — in-person role
• Relocation assistance considered for the right candidate
• Benefits include health & dental insurance, life insurance, paid vacation, paid holidays, and a retirement plan
• Submit your resume to: mfgresume@hiresapphire.com
