Manufacturing Cost Estimator – Precision Bearings
2 weeks ago
Pioneer Motor Bearing Company is a fourth-generation family business dedicated to reliability. We support the nation's power grid and help keep our military mission-ready. Pioneer delivers bearing engineering, manufacturing, and repair for large rotating equipment used primarily in power generation. Our PMB Machine Works division serves defense and aerospace with precision machined components.
A day in the lifeMorning starts with a review of RFQs and drawings. You'll clarify scope with Sales, identify missing details, and confirm assumptions. From there, you'll:
- Study customer BOMs, prints, GD&T, process specifications, and material specs; pull any missing sub-drawings from our files.
- Collaborate with QA, Engineering, and Production to capture capability limits and call out exceptions that fall outside current processes.
- Build Google Drive quote packages and create time estimates using setup and machining formulas aligned to our workflow.
- Research historical performance in our ERP/CRM (Salesforce) to benchmark hours, lead times, and risks.
- Engage vendors for validated pricing and lead times on materials; coordinate with outside manufacturers for services or parts we don't produce.
- Deliver accurate TVC, labor hours, and lead times to Sales—plus fast "ballpark" quotes when customer urgency demands it.
- On-time, well-supported quotes that reflect real capacity and constraints.
- Clear documentation of exceptions and complexity so Sales can set the proper labor rates.
- Continuously refined estimates based on lessons learned from production and past jobs.
Regular shift: 8:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m., Monday–Friday, at our Kings Mountain plant. This role is cross-trained to provide backup for Procurement when needed.
What you bring- Self-driven prioritization and the ability to deliver quotes with minimal oversight.
- Strong organization and leadership: manage time, documentation, and deadlines with precision.
- Relationship skills across admin and manufacturing teams; crisp verbal and written communication.
- Fluency reading drawings, blueprints, GD&T, process/material specs, and BOMs.
- Working CAD capability for quick sketches to support quotations.
- Practical machining knowledge: tolerances, manual and CNC processes, feeds/speeds, and efficient methods.
- Technical grounding in fluid film bearings, rotating equipment, and bearing manufacturing/repair methods.
- Toolset: Google Sheets (including formulas), Gmail, docs, virtual meetings, shared calendars; ERP/CRM (Salesforce).
- Physical comfort moving through the plant and yard, including climbing stairs to inventory/drawing storage and navigating tight areas.
- CNC Programming
- ITAR Compliance
- ISO 9001 Certification Experience
- Manual Machining Skills
- CAD/CAM Software
- AS9100 Experience
We operate in a dynamic service environment where teamwork and communication are essential. We hire for character, skill, and a growth mindset, and we foster a collaborative, creative culture where every person is encouraged to contribute to our processes, decisions, planning, and culture.
Compensation and benefits- Overtime: All overtime hours are paid at 2x pay. Vacation and holiday hours count toward the calculation of overtime hours.
- Medical: Three plan options; we pay 95% of employee premiums and contribute significantly toward family coverage.
- HSA/FSA: HSA provided with $2,000 (individual) or $4,000 (dependent) company contribution; FSA options available.
- Supplemental Health: Revive membership with zero-cost access to 1,000+ generic medications, free primary care telehealth, mental health support, health/wellness coaching, and access to discounted GLP‑1 weight-loss medications.
- More Coverage: Dental, vision, life, disability, and 401(k) safe-harbor matching, plus additional ancillary benefits.
- Vacation: 2.5 weeks for new employees, 3 weeks after 3 years, scaling up to 6 weeks.
