Estimator

PEMB Estimator

Position Summary

We are seeking an experienced pre-engineered metal building (PEMB) estimator with strong proficiency in Metal Building Software (MBS) and client-facing skills. In this role, you will manage estimates from the initial client conversation through proposal, revisions, and signed contract. You will review plans or assist with design-build projects, develop building pricing in MBS or coordinate with manufacturers, price all components within scope, and stay engaged with the client throughout the sales process.

Key Responsibilities

• Manage client intake: Work with owners, developers, and general contractor estimating teams. Understand project requirements, schedules, and the client’s needs.
• Review plans or support design-build: Estimate from architectural and structural plans or help clients develop a building scope for design-build projects.
• Complete takeoffs and scope reviews: Identify gaps, conflicts, and items requiring clarification. Prepare clear scope packages for manufacturers.
• Develop building design and pricing: Run buildings in MBS using manufacturer dealer access. Submit more technical projects to manufacturers for design and pricing, and coordinate the process through completion.
• Price ancillary components: Estimate all other items in scope, such as insulation, roll-up doors, and other components and accessories.
• Prepare complete estimates: Assemble estimates in the company’s estimating system.
• Coordinate internal reviews: Review estimates with the Senior Estimator and, when appropriate, the salesperson before submission.
• Present and sell proposals: Walk clients through proposals and communicate the value of the offering, not just the price.
• Manage revisions and follow-up: Work with clients to refine scope and pricing, and maintain consistent follow-up on every open proposal.
• Complete project handoffs: After contract execution, provide the project management team with an accurate, complete file. The team will rely on the estimating handoff to build and deliver the project.

Required Qualifications

• Proficiency in MBS, including setting up and running buildings for design and pricing.
• Strong working knowledge of PEMB systems, including framing, bracing, secondary members, roof and wall panels, trim, openings, and accessories.
• Ability to read and interpret architectural and structural plans and specifications.
• Experience estimating PEMB projects for a manufacturer, dealer, builder, or erector.
• Strong sales and client-service skills.
• Excellent organization and follow-through in a high-volume bid environment.
• Clear written and verbal communication skills.
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office, especially Excel.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience pricing ancillary scope, such as insulation, overhead or roll-up doors, and accessories.
• Exposure to erection, field installation, or furnish-and-erect contracting.
• Familiarity with other manufacturer quoting platforms.
• Experience with Florida and coastal code requirements, including high-wind and High-Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ) requirements.
• Experience with CRM or bid-tracking systems.

Compensation & Work Arrangement

• $85,000 base salary
• Performance-based bonus structure
• Employer contribution to medical, dental and vision plans
• 401K with company match
• PTO and paid holidays
• Remote-based work with bi-annual travel for team building. Candidates willing to relocate to Ocala, FL and work on-site with the team are welcome.
