Cost Estimating Manager
Lewiston, ME | $100,000–$150,000/year | Full-Time
Lead the Team That Turns Customer Requirements Into Manufacturing RealityBefore a new product reaches the manufacturing floor, someone has to determine what it will actually take to make it—materials, labor, processing, tooling, outside services, and cost. At Elmet Technologies, that responsibility sits at the intersection of Sales, Engineering, Production, Purchasing, and our customers.
We’re looking for a Cost Estimating Manager to lead our multi‑site technical estimating team from our Lewiston, Maine facility. Reporting to the Chief Sales Officer, you’ll be responsible for the people, processes, and tools that produce accurate and timely cost estimates supporting customer RFQs and new business opportunities.
You’ll also remain hands‑on as an estimator, analyzing drawings and specifications and developing estimates for machined and fabricated components, standard product forms, and other products manufactured from tungsten and molybdenum.
If you understand how things are made, know how to translate technical requirements into realistic manufacturing costs, and can lead a team while still digging into the details yourself, this is an opportunity to have a direct impact on Elmet’s growth.
