Waterworks Estimator

Build the Future of Water Infrastructure.

At Winston-Cox Waterworx, we're not interested in being the biggest distributor in the market, we're focused on being the best partner our customers work with.

As one of the fastest-growing waterworks distributors in Texas, we're building a team of industry professionals who thrive on solving problems, moving quickly, and delivering exceptional service. If you understand underground water infrastructure, enjoy dissecting plans and specifications, and take pride in putting together accurate, competitive material packages, we'd like to talk.

This is an opportunity to play a critical role in helping contractors, municipalities, engineers, and developers successfully deliver water, wastewater, and site utility projects throughout the Gulf Coast region.

The Waterworks Estimator is responsible for reviewing project plans and specifications, performing detailed material takeoffs, identifying project requirements, and developing accurate material quotations for underground utility projects.

This position serves as a key technical resource to our sales team and customers, ensuring projects are quoted correctly, specifications are met, and opportunities are positioned for successful award and execution.

The ideal candidate brings strong waterworks product knowledge, attention to detail, and the ability to interpret construction plans while maintaining a customer-first mindset.
