Steel Estimator / Business Development

KSI • Phoenix, AZ

1d • $125,000 - $175,000 • Hybrid

About The Position

A well-established structural and miscellaneous steel fabrication and erection company serving commercial and industrial projects in the Phoenix market has created a new Estimating & Client Development role to support its next stage of growth. This position was built to expand the company's growth capacity, strengthen client relationships, build a more stable project pipeline, and create long-term succession leverage within the estimating department. You'll work directly alongside the company's Chief Estimator — learning the business from the inside while building your own client relationships and managing your own pipeline. This is not a cold-call sales role. Success here comes from technical credibility, responsiveness, and consistent follow-through — not pressure tactics. It's a strong fit for an experienced steel professional who wants to grow into a higher-visibility role — including a real path toward leadership as the estimating and business development function grows — within a stable, team-oriented company, without leaving the technical side of the business behind.

Requirements

• 5+ years of experience estimating structural and/or miscellaneous steel for commercial or industrial projects
• Comfortable managing several active estimates at once against tight deadlines

• Comfortable splitting time between office and field work in the Phoenix area
