Manufacturing Estimator

A well-established and growing industrial manufacturing company is looking for a Manufacturing Estimator to join its team.

Ideal Candidate Profile

This role isn't necessarily meant for a career estimator with decades of experience. The company wants someone with a solid understanding of manufacturing who can look at an engineering drawing or customer requirement and work through the practical and commercial sides of producing the part or product, including:

• Which manufacturing processes are required.
• How the part or product should be produced.
• How much labor and machine time will be involved.
• 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.

• At least two years of manufacturing experience.
• Ability to read and understand engineering drawings.
• Understanding of machining and manufacturing processes.
• Strong analytical, organizational and communication skills.
• Quoting or estimating experience preferred.
• Familiarity with GD&T is a plus.
