Estimator

Description : The Estimator is responsible for preparing accurate, competitive cost estimates for all incoming projects. This role ensures that each quote accurately reflects the scope, materials, labor, and production requirements needed to deliver quality work on time and within budget.

This includes checking in with customers after major projects, reconnecting with clients we haven’t heard from recently, and ensuring our quotes and finished work continue to meet or exceed expectations. This position combines analytical precision with clear communication and customer focus, supporting both operational excellence and lasting client relationships.
