Carmel, United States Bastian Solutions Full time

Job Overview

The Estimator is an integral role in the National Accounts team that collects and analyzes data in order to estimate the time, materials, and labor required to plan and execute material handling projects that range in technology and automation, including robotics, AS/RS, AGV's, high speed sortation, vertical lifts, light directed picking, pick modules, etc. The responsibility of this position commences with the request for proposal (RFP) from potential customers or consultants (internal or external) and concludes at final version of the sales proposal submission.
