Material Estimating & Support Specialist – Residential Construction
📍 Wausau, WI | Full-time | Competitive Pay & Benefits

About Us
 At Wausau Homes, we help builders deliver dream homes—on time, on budget, and to exacting standards. Our Materials team is the backbone of that promise, ensuring every home gets the right parts and finishes when they’re needed.

About the Role
We’re looking for a detail-driven, construction-savvy professional who knows the ins and outs of residential finish materials. If you can calculate siding quantities in your sleep, spot a blueprint error from across the table, and speak the language of builders and installers, you might be exactly who we need.

In this role, you’ll:

• Support builders by handling material estimates, warranty inquiries, and shortage claims
• Create precise material orders for interior and exterior finishes using our ERP system
• Troubleshoot issues and work directly with builders, vendors, and our internal teams
• Review blueprints and translate them into accurate, cost-effective material lists

What We’re Looking For

• Solid construction knowledge—especially finish materials (doors, trim, cabinetry, siding, etc.)
• Ability to read and understand blueprints
• Experience with material estimating in residential construction
• Strong problem-solving skills and a knack for keeping projects on track
• Bonus points if you’ve installed finish materials yourself—hands-on experience goes a long way here!

Qualifications

• Associate degree or 2–5 years’ experience in estimating, construction materials, or a related role
• Proficiency with Microsoft Excel and familiarity with ERP systems
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced, collaborative environment

Why You’ll Love It Here

• Be part of a company that values accuracy, craftsmanship, and relationships
• Work with a team who understands construction from the ground up
• Competitive pay, benefits, and a positive work environment

But beyond the tasks, you’ll be joining a workplace that prioritizes:

Belonging – We create safe, open forums where everyone’s voice matters.
Connection – Strong relationships across our teams and organization are the foundation of our success.
Engagement – Through events, activities, and recognition, we keep our culture vibrant and inclusive.
Well-being – Your health and personal growth matter here—because we care.
Development – We celebrate success, support professional development, and encourage you to pursue your dreams.

If you have the construction expertise and attention to detail we’re looking for, we want to hear from you.
