Job Description

Ideal Candidate Profile

This role isn't necessarily meant for a career estimator with decades of experience.

• Which materials, tooling and outside services will be needed.
• What the right cost and selling price should be.

The company has established estimating methods and will train the right person on its products, manufacturing processes and estimating approach. This is a great opportunity for a Manufacturing Engineer or experienced manufacturing professional who wants to move into estimating, use their technical knowledge in a new way, and learn more about the business and commercial side of manufacturing.

Responsibilities

• Review customer drawings, specifications and quote requests.
• Develop manufacturing routings and cost estimates.
• Estimate materials, machining, labor, tooling and outside services.
