About The Position

You’ll be responsible for building accurate, reliable pricing for manufactured products. This role focuses on modular mechanical systems like skids, racks, and packaged units, turning drawings and product definitions into real, executable costs. Your work helps the business compete in external markets while making sure what’s sold can actually be built in the shop. This is manufacturing-focused estimating, centered on materials, labor, and overhead rather than full project scope. You’ll work closely with sales, engineering, and shop leadership to connect product design with real-world cost and production. You’ll also be part of conversations around make versus buy, standard versus custom, and how to price for different volumes as the business grows.

Requirements

Experience estimating manufactured or fabricated products
Strong understanding of shop labor, BOM-based costing, and overhead
Ability to read drawings and turn them into clear, buildable estimates
Comfortable working across sales, engineering, and operations
Familiarity with DFMA principles and product‑based estimating
Practical, detail-oriented mindset focused on real outcomes

Responsibilities

Develop cost estimates for modular systems using drawings, BOMs, and product definitions
Build pricing that supports budgetary through firm proposals, including clear scope and assumptions
Partner with engineering and the shop to validate labor, fabrication methods, and manufacturability
Help create more consistency through templates, unit rates, and repeatable pricing approaches
Use feedback from actual production to improve estimate accuracy over time
