Job Type: Full-time
Compensation: Based on experience
Fancy Floors Ltd. is looking for a detail-oriented Flooring Estimator / Project Administrator to join our growing team. This role is ideal for someone with flooring, construction, estimating, or project coordination experience who understands how jobs move from blueprint to quote to installation.
The primary focus of this position is estimating flooring projects, with some light administrative and project support duties. Strong written and verbal communication skills are essential, as this role involves regular communication with clients, builders, designers, suppliers, installers, and internal team members.
This position is best suited for someone who is largely self-reliant, organized, and comfortable working independently. While training and support will be provided, the ideal candidate should be able to manage their own workload, ask clear questions when needed, and take ownership of tasks from start to finish.

- Work with suppliers to confirm product availability, pricing, lead times, and technical details
- Support the sales and project team with job setup, documentation, and coordination
- Enter and maintain project information in company software
- Assist with change orders, revisions, and basic project administration

Ideal Candidate
The right person for this role is organized, accurate, and comfortable working in a fast-paced construction environment. You do not need to know everything on day one, but you should be willing to learn, ask questions, solve problems, and take ownership of the details.
You should be:
- Detail-oriented and careful with numbers
- Comfortable reading plans and specifications
- Able to communicate clearly, professionally, and respectfully in both written and spoken English
- Confident writing emails, documenting project details, and asking clear questions
- Largely self-reliant and comfortable working independently
