Sales Estimator

Job Title:
Sales Estimator & Project Manager – Hardscape Design & Construction

Overview
New Life Rockeries is a leading Seattle-area hardscape company known for transforming outdoor spaces with retaining walls, patios, and custom landscapes since 1972. We’re looking for a high-energy, client-focused Sales Estimator & Project Manager who can guide customers from their first idea to a finished project they love.

This role is part sales consultant, part estimator, part project manager — you’ll meet with homeowners, understand their vision, design and price solutions, and oversee the project through completion. You must be as comfortable closing a $100K backyard transformation as you are walking a job site with the crew.

• Coordinate with crew leads and subcontractors to ensure work is executed to plan.
• Serve as the main client contact during construction — managing expectations, resolving questions, and ensuring client satisfaction.
• Track budgets, timelines, and quality from start to finish.

Qualifications

• Proven experience in hardscape, landscape construction, or related high-end residential construction sales.
• Strong understanding of hardscape materials, construction methods, and design principles.
• Skilled in measuring, reading site plans, and interpreting client visions.
