The Estimator is responsible for collecting and analyzing data to develop accurate cost estimates for precast concrete construction projects. This role supports the sales team in pricing, proposal preparation, and client communications while ensuring cost accuracy, competitiveness, and profitability. The Estimator also represents ATMI’s values and professionalism when engaging with customers and partners.
