About the Company
Escajeda Masonry & Chimney and Alex Restoration are part of Escajeda Holdings, a growing group of companies specializing in masonry, restoration, roofing, remodeling, and other construction services throughout Western Pennsylvania and surrounding regions.
Over the past decade, the organization has grown from a small residential masonry operation into a multi-company business serving residential and commercial customers across Pennsylvania, Ohio, and neighboring states.

- Evaluate project complexity, anticipated labor hours, and construction methods to develop competitive and profitable pricing.
- Manage incoming customer inquiries and follow up on estimates to help convert opportunities into awarded projects.
- Build and maintain relationships with homeowners, general contractors, property managers, insurance companies, and other commercial customers.
- Coordinate with project managers, field crews, and leadership to ensure accurate scopes of work and smooth project handoffs.
- Maintain organized customer communications, estimates, and project information using Microsoft Office, email, and company systems.
- Track customer opportunities and follow-up activities through HubSpot CRM.
- Collaborate with the estimating and operations teams to meet proposal deadlines and support company growth.
- Identify opportunities to develop new customer relationships and expand business throughout the region.

Preferred:
