Job Description
Black Label Built
Location: Lincoln, NE | Type: Full-Time
Black Label Built is not a typical deck company — and we are not looking for typical team members.
We design and build high-end outdoor living environments that elevate how our clients live, entertain, and experience their homes. From custom decks and pergolas to full-scale outdoor living spaces, every project we touch is driven by craftsmanship, precision, and pride in doing things the right way.
Our team is built around high standards, clear processes, and a shared commitment to excellence. We move fast, we communicate clearly, and we take ownership of our work. If you thrive in an environment where quality matters, details matter, and your contribution directly impacts the success of the company, you will feel at home here.
The OpportunityWe are seeking a driven, detail-oriented Estimator to play a key role in our continued growth. This is not a back-office number-crunching role — this position sits at the core of our operation.
As an Estimator at Black Label Built, you will help turn vision into reality by ensuring our projects are accurately scoped, intelligently priced, and positioned for success. Your work will directly influence profitability, project execution, and client trust.

Takes pride in producing clean, professional, high-quality work
Wants to grow with a company that is raising the bar in the outdoor living industry

Develop clear, competitive, and profitable project estimates
Work closely with sales, design, and project management teams to align scope, pricing, and expectations
Communicate with suppliers and subcontractors to confirm pricing, availability, and lead times
Provide estimating insight that supports smarter decisions before projects break ground
Maintain and refine estimating templates, cost libraries, and pricing databases
Track estimate performance against actual job costs to continuously improve accuracy
Ensure every proposal reflects Black Label Built’s professionalism and attention to detail
2+ years of estimating experience in construction (decking or outdoor living strongly preferred)
Solid understanding of residential construction methods and materials
Strong math, measurement, and analytical skills
High attention to detail and personal accountability
Ability to work independently while collaborating with a team
Experience with decks, pergolas, patios, or outdoor living structures
Familiarity with composite decking, aluminum railing systems, or premium materials
Experience with estimating software, spreadsheets, or CRM/project management systems
Ability to read or work from drawings or design concepts
Work with a high-performing, motivated team that values professionalism and results
Be part of a company that is growing intentionally, not chaotically
Have a real voice in how projects are priced, built, and improved
Build a long-term career with leadership that values initiative and performance
Competitive compensation with room to grow as the company grows
If you want to be part of a company that:
Builds premium projects
Holds high standards
Values accuracy, efficiency, and pride in workmanship
And is creating something bigger than just “another contractor”
Black Label Built is the place for you.
