- Analyze & Takeoff: Review client blueprints, architectural drawings, 3D models, and specifications to perform accurate material and labor takeoffs.
- Calculate Costs: Estimate raw material requirements (steel, aluminum, stainless), hardware, outsourcing needs (powder coating, galvanizing, laser cutting), and shop labor hours.
- Source & Negotiate: Gather current vendor pricing for raw materials and specialty subcontracted services to ensure competitive yet profitable bidding.
- Prepare Proposals: Draft comprehensive, professional quote proposals for clients, clearly outlining scopes of work, inclusions, exclusions, and lead times.
- Collaborate: Work closely with project managers, shop foremen, and sales teams to review complex projects and ensure estimated methods align with shop capabilities.
- Track & Refine: Monitor won/lost bid metrics and compare actual post-production costs against original estimates to continuously improve accuracy.
What We're Looking For (Requirements)
- Experience 5 years of experience estimating within a metal fabrication, machining, structural steel, or relevant manufacturing shop environment.
- Blueprint Fluency: Exceptional ability to read and interpret industrial blueprints, welding symbols, and structural drawings.
- Tech Savvy: Proficiency with estimating software, Shop Tech E2 Math & Analytical Skills: Strong mathematical aptitude, spatial reasoning, and a systematic approach to breaking down complex assemblies.
- Communication: Excellent written and verbal communication skills for navigating client relationship management and vendor negotiations.
- Background: A background "on the tools" as a fabricator or machinist is a massive plus, though not strictly required.
Why You’ll Love Working Here (Benefits & Perks)
- Compensation: $45,000 - $65,000 (dependent on experience).
- Schedule: Full-time, Mon-Fri, 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM . This is primarily an office/desk-based role with regular walkthroughs on the shop floor.
- Health & Wellness: Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision insurance.
- Retirement: 401(k) plan
- Time Off: Paid Time Off (PTO), sick leave, and paid holidays.
- Growth: Opportunities to move into Project Management or Senior Estimating roles as the shop expands.
