You will be a highly self-motivated person who enjoys the initial process of a restoration/remodel project by evaluating the scope of work and preparing an accurate estimate. You must have the working knowledge of all phases of a restoration/remodel project.

Company Overview:

Pacific Remediation and Restoration of Kirkland, WA is in search of an honest, hard-working individual to assist our office as a restoration/remodel estimator. This person reports directly to ownership of the company and works closely with the project management team.

Here at Pacific, we have built our core values on trust, honesty, and customer service. Pacific treats each team member with respect.  Our friendly company culture is very important to us. We all work together as a team with a common goal of a stress-free working environment.

Position Overview:

  • Take accurate notes of the scope of work to be performed (seen and unseen).
  • Take extensive photographs of the site to support your scope and subsequent estimate.
  • Have a general working knowledge of building code as it applies to the scope of work being prepared.
  • Prepare an accurate estimate to the best of your knowledge with the information made available to you as well as your experience of the current market value.
  • Reach an agreed cost with our prospective client and their third-party representatives if any.

Qualifications:
  • Excellent critical thinking skills.
