Job Description

We are seeking a hands-on, results-driven Quoting/Estimating Specialist to increase quoting capacity, accuracy, and win rate for structural steel and fabricated metal projects. This individual will work directly with customers, vendors, and internal departments to prepare competitive quotes while improving how we price, track, and pursue opportunities. The right candidate will combine technical estimating ability with a sales-oriented mindset — someone who can read drawings, perform detailed takeoffs, and also pick up the phone to clarify scope, value-engineer solutions, and help secure work.

Responsibilities

  • Prepare accurate and timely quotes for structural steel, fabricated components, and assemblies.

  • Perform takeoffs and interpret blueprints, bid packages, and drawings to identify scope, materials, and labor.

  • Collaborate directly with customers and general contractors to clarify project requirements, align scope, and position bids competitively.

  • Develop and maintain standardized estimating tools and pricing templates to improve speed and consistency.

  • Build and maintain relationships with key accounts, providing fast and accurate turnaround on quotes and change orders.

  • Work closely with engineering, purchasing, and production to validate assumptions and ensure manufacturability.

  • Analyze historical data and job performance to refine pricing models and improve accuracy.

  • Follow up on submitted quotes, gather feedback, and report on bid hit rates and competitiveness.

  • Assist in proposal preparation, including scope breakdowns, alternates, exclusions, and clarifications.

  • Support implementation of quoting and estimating automation tools (ERP or digital integrations).

Essential Skills

  • Experience in structural or miscellaneous steel fabrication estimating.

  • Associates or Bachelors in Engineering or related field.

  • Proven ability to interpret structural and architectural drawings and specifications.

  • Strong understanding of fabrication processes, shop routing, welding, machining, and finishing.

  • Comfortable communicating directly with customers, engineers, and general contractors.

  • Proficient with ERP and estimating systems (Genius ERP, FabTrol, or similar).

  • Strong Excel and digital takeoff software skills.

  • Highly organized and comfortable handling multiple bids simultaneously.

  • Driven by results — understands the importance of both accuracy and responsiveness.

The role requires working from 8:00am to 5:00pm in an office environment.
