  • Lead collaborative quotation teams on larger, more complex estimate packages, organizing review meetings and facilitating process decisions.
  • Partner with Engineering, Sales, Production, and Quality teams to gather insights, verify feasibility, and support pricing strategies.
  • Analyze manufacturing risks, propose process improvements, and offer cost alternatives that optimize value and efficiency.
  • Maintain up-to-date records, schedules, and work instructions pertaining to the estimating process, ensuring compliance with current market rates, surcharges, and lead times.
  • Review historical job data, profitability reports, and process efficiencies to refine quoting practices and support strategic decision-making.
  • Provide data and insight to support pricing strategies, risk assessments, and continuous improvement initiatives.

Employee Value Proposition:

  • Stable, Family-Owned Business: Join a well-established company with a strong reputation for quality and reliability in the metal fabrication industry.
  • Team Culture: Work in a collaborative, team-oriented environment where open communication and professional respect are valued.
  • Growth Opportunity: Take on increasing responsibility through leadership of quoting projects, involvement in continuous improvement initiatives, and potential career advancement.
  • Work-Life Balance: Maintain a consistent weekday schedule, with flexibility to adjust hours as needed to meet critical deadlines.
  • Professional Development: Benefit from hands-on training, exposure to advanced fabrication equipment, and opportunities to expand your knowledge in estimating and operations management.
  • Comprehensive Benefits Package: Including health, dental, vision, 401(k), paid time off, and holiday pay.

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Minimum of 3 years of experience in a sheet metal fabrication environment.
  • Strong understanding of fabrication processes including laser cutting, CNC punching, press brake forming, welding (MIG/TIG/robotic), powder coating, and assembly.
  • Experience using an ERP system (preferably JobBOSS).
  • Basic proficiency in SolidWorks or similar 3D modeling software.
  • Excellent attention to detail, organizational skills, and math (geometry) skills.
  • Strong communication and teamwork skills with the ability to manage multiple projects and priorities.
