Junior Systems Estimator

Encore Fire Protection • Lansdowne, MD

3d • $65,000 - $70,000

About The Position

We are looking for a Junior Fire Protection Systems Estimator who brings curiosity, confidence, and a natural ability to connect with people. Whether the project involves fire alarm, fire sprinkler, special hazards, or integrated life safety systems, you will guide customers through the estimating and proposal process with accuracy and professionalism. You do not need prior fire protection experience to excel here.
What matters most is your willingness to learn, your commitment to doing the work, and your ability to hold a conversation while still driving toward a result. If you are competitive, detail oriented, and resilient, you will thrive in this role. This is not your typical sales position.
You will split your time between field assessments and office-based estimating, working closely with internal teams to build accurate proposals and communicate effectively with customers. The technical learning curve is real, but the growth opportunity is substantial.

Requirements

• Strong computer skills, including proficiency with Microsoft Outlook, Word, and Excel.
• Clear communication skills and a positive, team-oriented attitude, with comfort interacting with both internal teams and customers.

Nice To Haves

• Experience with HubSpot and ServiceTrade is not required, but you must be willing and able to quickly learn and self-teach on these platforms.
• Previous exposure to construction, fire protection, or technical sales environments.
• Strong organizational skills and attention to detail when working on quotes and project documentation.
• A natural interest in building relationships and developing long-term customer trust.

Responsibilities

• A strong desire to learn about sprinkler systems, sales processes, and Encore’s approach to life safety solutions.
• A proactive mindset and willingness to take initiative while supporting senior sales team members.
• Strong computer skills, including proficiency with Microsoft Outlook, Word, and Excel.
• Clear communication skills and a positive, team-oriented attitude, with comfort interacting with both internal teams and customers.
• Assisting Sales Executives in meeting customers, taking measurements, and preparing accurate estimates for new sprinkler systems
• Supporting in the preparation and finishing of proposals, quotes, and pre-engineering solutions
• Helping review project documentation and gathering necessary details for design and estimating
• Collaborating closely with the sales team, project management, and design departments to ensure smooth coordination on projects
• Shadowing experienced sales representatives in the field to learn how to build strong customer relationships and identify sales opportunities

Benefits

• Competitive Salary: Compensation commensurate with your experience, with the opportunity to earn performance-based bonuses tied to your personal effectiveness and contributions to the team. Expected salary ranges between $65,000 - $70,000 per year.
• Purpose-Driven Work Environment: We believe in working smarter, not harder. You’ll be part of a culture that values results, and we empower our team to focus on impactful work.
• Flexible Dress Code: Upon joining, you’ll receive branded Encore swag, and we believe in dressing for the objective, not the occasion. Most days, you can enjoy a casual work environment, but we’ll dress up when the situation calls for it.
• People-Focused Culture: We know our greatest strength is our people. That’s why we’ve built a culture that encourages experimentation, learning, and improving together. You’ll have the space to share your ideas and help shape a company that is constantly growing.
• Tools for Success: Access to leading-edge web-based productivity tools.
• Health and Wellness: Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage to keep you and your family healthy.
• Retirement Planning: Participation in our Fidelity 401(k) plan with a company match, helping you save for your future.
• Life Insurance: Company-paid life insurance policy of $50,000 to give you peace of mind.
