Senior Stucco Estimator / Project Manager

Capitol City Stucco • Full-time • Las Vegas, Nevada, United States • $90,000 - $115,000 / year • 3w ago

We're hiring a Senior Stucco Estimator/Project Manager to prepare accurate, competitive bids for commercial and multi-family stucco, lath, plaster, EIFS, and scaffold projects throughout Las Vegas. This is a senior individual-contributor role working alongside our Chief Estimator — you'll take the lead on complex, high-dollar bids, mentor less-experienced estimators, and be the person the team turns to when a bid gets complicated. You'll also be expected to engage in business development, meeting with the General Manager at least twice a month.

What You'll Do

Perform detailed quantity takeoffs for stucco, lath, plaster, EIFS, and scaffold, and related exterior finish systems from architectural and structural drawings
Prepare complete, competitive estimates for commercial and multi-family projects, applying current material pricing, labor rates, and production rates
Use AI-assisted tools as a required, everyday part of takeoffs, estimate preparation, and bid documentation
Review plans, specifications, addenda, and RFIs to identify scope, conflicts, missing information, and potential change-order exposure before bid submission
Solicit and evaluate material and sub-tier pricing from vendors and suppliers
Lead pricing and proposal development for the largest and most complex bids in the pipeline
Participate in pre-bid meetings, job walks, and scope reviews
Support project turnover, communicating estimate assumptions, exclusions, and production expectations to the project management team
Mentor and provide guidance to junior estimators as needed
Maintain working knowledge of project management and be able to step into a PM role when required

What You Bring

8+ years of commercial construction estimating experience, with stucco, lath, plaster, EIFS, scaffold, or closely related exterior-finish/Division 09 trades strongly preferred
Strong ability to read and interpret architectural, structural, and detail drawings
Proficiency with estimating/takeoff software such as Bluebeam
Mandatory: daily, hands-on proficiency with AI-assisted tools as a core part of the estimating workflow — candidates unwilling or unable to work this way should not apply
Working knowledge of Sage construction accounting/estimating modules a plus
Strong understanding of California construction practices
Ability to manage multiple active bids and deadlines simultaneously
Strong written and verbal communication skills for working with project managers, superintendents, vendors, and general contractors

Nice to Have

Experience estimating public works / prevailing wage projects
Existing relationships with stucco, lath, plaster, and exterior-finish material suppliers in the Las Vegas
Experience mentoring or leading other estimators

Pay: $90,000.00 - $115,000.00 per year
