Solar Landscape is the leading commercial rooftop solar developer in the U.S. Only 4% of commercial rooftops host solar today — we’re changing that, fast. Commercial rooftop solar is the fastest, smartest way to build new clean power — delivering megawatts of generation in months, not years, and powering America’s energy and future right where it’s needed most. By turning rooftops into local power plants, we’re reshaping how — and how fast — energy gets built in the U.S.
Recognized as the #1 Distributed Generation Developer by New Project Media, the #1 National Commercial Rooftop Solar Developer by Solar Power World, and winner of the U.S. Department of Energy’s Grand Prize for Clean Energy, Solar Landscape is defining the future of energy generation in America.
Headquartered in Asbury Park, New Jersey, Solar Landscape has offices in Chicago, Baltimore, and New York City and operates in over a dozen states nationwide.
We move fast, solve hard problems, and take our work seriously — but never ourselves. We value clear thinking, accountability, and execution. At the same time, we’re collaborative by default, and believe the best work happens when people enjoy working together. Our team is made up of smart, grounded people who show up for each other — whether that’s troubleshooting a system design or catching up over lunch.
If you’re looking to do meaningful work in a high-performance environment — and be part of the team reshaping how energy gets built in the U.S. — we’d love to meet you.
About The Role
The Construction Estimator is responsible for developing detailed and accurate cost estimates for commercial rooftop solar projects. This role requires a deep understanding of construction methods, electrical and structural systems, and solar installation best practices. The Estimator will collaborate closely with project managers, engineers, and procurement specialists to ensure proposals are both competitive and technically sound.
Key Responsibilities
Prepare detailed cost estimates for commercial rooftop solar projects and BESS projects, including materials, labor, equipment, and subcontractor costs.
Review project specifications, drawings, and bid documents to determine project scope and pricing strategy.
Collaborate with design and engineering teams to optimize system layouts for cost efficiency and constructability.
Solicit and analyze bids from subcontractors and suppliers to ensure accurate and competitive pricing.
Develop quantity takeoffs and maintain unit pricing databases for solar components and construction materials.
Assist in developing project budgets during the pre-construction phase.
Participate in project handoffs, supporting the operations team with cost breakdowns and value engineering insights.
Identify potential risks, cost-saving opportunities, and constructability concerns during project development.
Stay current with market pricing trends, industry standards, and advancements in solar technology.
Gather information from local government and private entities that may affect project (i.e. permits, licenses, Prevailing Wage, etc.)
Qualifications
Bachelor’s degree in construction management, Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent experience).
Minimum 3–5 years of experience in construction estimating, preferably within the commercial solar, electrical, or general construction sectors.
Strong knowledge of construction practices, roofing systems, and electrical work related to solar PV installations.
Proficiency with estimating software.
Ability to interpret engineering drawings, structural plans, and electrical schematics.
Excellent analytical, communication, and organizational skills.
Detail-oriented with the ability to manage multiple estimates simultaneously in a fast-paced environment.
Preferred Qualifications
Experience with commercial rooftop solar projects exceeding 500 kW.
Familiarity with AutoCAD, Helioscope, or PVsyst for preliminary design analysis.
Understanding of NEC, OSHA, and relevant building codes.
NABCEP certification or equivalent solar industry credential is a plus.
