Job Description

Job Description

Door Works is looking for an ambitious, detail-oriented individual to join our team as an Entry-Level Estimator. This is an outstanding opportunity for someone who enjoys problem-solving, communicating with people, and wants to build a long-term career in the custom manufacturing | construction industry. 

If you’re eager to learn, enjoy working in a collaborative environment, and want to develop valuable professional skills, we’d love to meet you.

What You’ll Do 

With hands on training from our experienced team, you’ll learn to: 

• Review architectural plans, elevations, and project specifications. 
• Prepare accurate estimates and proposals for custom wood doors, mouldings, and architectural millwork. 
• Communicate with contractors, architects, designers, and homeowners to gather project details and answer questions. 
• Collaborate closely with Project Managers, Sales, and company leadership throughout the estimating process. 
• Develop detailed quotations using estimating software and Microsoft Office. 
• Manage multiple projects while maintaining exceptional organization and attention to detail. 
• Build strong relationships with customers by providing professional, responsive service. 

Every day brings a new project, new challenges, and the opportunity to help create one-of-a-kind homes. 

What We’re Looking For 

We care more about your attitude and potential than your estimating experience. 

The ideal candidate is: 

• Detail-oriented and highly organized. 
• Curious and eager to learn. 
• Comfortable working with numbers and solving problems. 
• Professional and confident communicating with customers. 
• Able to manage multiple priorities and deadlines. 
• Comfortable learning new software and technology. 
• Dependable, motivated, and team oriented. 

Previous experience in estimating, construction, manufacturing, architecture, woodworking, customer service, CAD, or Microsoft Excel is helpful, but not required. 

Why Door Works? 

At Door Works, you’ll become part of a team that values craftsmanship, quality, and long-term relationships. 

This is much more than preparing estimates. You’ll work directly with contractors, architects, designers, homeowners, Project Managers, and company leadership while helping bring exceptional custom homes to life. 

We invest in our employees by providing hands-on training, mentorship, and opportunities to grow professionally within the company. 

Career Growth 

This position is designed for someone who wants to build a long-term career. 

As you gain experience, you’ll have opportunities to expand your knowledge and advance into positions such as: 

• Estimator 
• Senior Estimator 
• Project Manager 
• Sales Support 
• Operations Leadership

• High school diploma or GED required. 
• Associate’s or Bachelor’s degree is a plus.
