Earn additional bonuses for referring qualified candidates who join our team. Every Great Project Starts with the Right Number Before a single stud is set or a coat of plaster goes on, someone has to read the plans, understand the scope, and put together a number that wins the work and protects the margin. That's you. At Commercial Plastering USA, we're a full-service contractor specializing in plastering, drywall, framing, specialty finishes, and more on new construction and restoration projects. These are detailed, technical scopes, and they take an estimator who knows the trade. If you've built takeoffs from complex drawings, chased down vendor pricing, and walked a GC through your proposal with confidence, we'd like to talk.

This is a senior, office- based estimating role. We're looking for someone who has personally owned bids from start to finish on commercial plastering, drywall, or framing projects.
