Architectural Aluminum & Glass Estimator

Quality Glass and Mirror Service•Omaha, NE

About The Position

Quality Glass and Mirror Service is a high-growth, market leader in glass fabrication and aluminum systems, serving a six-state territory from our headquarters in Omaha, Nebraska. We're hiring an Architectural Aluminum and Glass Estimator to own the full estimating process from first drawing to final order — not just producing a number, but seeing it through. This is an individual contributor role reporting directly to senior leadership — you'll own your own pipeline of quotes, not manage a team. We're looking for someone who wants to do this work hands-on and do it well, with the opportunity to grow as we do. As part of our interview process, candidates will complete a short sample takeoff exercise so we can see your approach firsthand.

Requirements

1–3+ years of commercial estimating experience specifically in architectural glass and/or aluminum systems (drapery, soft goods, or general construction estimating alone will not meet this requirement)
Hands-on, working proficiency with takeoff/estimating software — Bluebeam, Glazier Studio, WinBidPro, or equivalent — plus strong Excel skills
Direct experience with architectural aluminum systems (Tubelite, Kawneer, Oldcastle, or similar) and interior glass hardware (Assa Abloy, CRL, Dormakaba, or similar)
Comfortable owning a project end-to-end, including placing and tracking material orders — not just producing quotes
Excellent follow-up habits, organization, and attention to detail — our estimates need to hold up from quote to final invoice
Strong, proactive communication with customers, vendors, and internal team members

Nice To Haves

Preference given to candidates based in the Omaha, Iowa, or Kansas City region; strong remote candidates elsewhere will still be considered

Responsibilities

Read architectural drawings and specifications to determine storefront system type, framing dimensions, glass makeup, and hardware requirements
Build accurate, detailed takeoffs and quotes using industry takeoff software
Source and confirm pricing with aluminum system suppliers, and negotiate where needed
Follow up proactively with customers throughout the bid process — this is a relationship-driven role, not a submit-and-wait one
Once a quote is won, place and track material purchase orders and see the project through to fulfillment
Maintain organized, accurate project files, quote worksheets, and vendor records
