Allen Supply is a distributor of construction materials specializing in hollow metal doors, wood doors, frames, and door hardware (CSI Division
8). We serve contractors, builders, and building owners from three locations in Saginaw, MI;
Traverse City, MI; and Jackson, TN. Our team takes pride in knowing the product, standing behind the quote, and following every job through to the last delivery and punch list. We're a growing company, which means real room to take on more responsibility and build your career with us.

We're looking for a hands‑on Project Manager / Estimator to win and deliver door, frame, and hardware projects out of our Saginaw branch. You'll read the plans, build the bid, and then own the job from award through closeout: submittals, ordering, deliveries, change orders, and final billing. This role suits someone who knows Division 08, likes running their own projects, and wants to see the results on the jobsite and in the margin.

• Review plans, specifications, door schedules, and addenda to prepare accurate door, frame, and hardware takeoffs and quotes
• Build estimates covering material, freight, labor (where applicable), lead times, and margin; obtain and compare vendor pricing
• Identify scope gaps, exclusions, and value‑engineering alternatives, and document clarifications clearly in each proposal
• Submit bids on deadline and maintain a log of bids, win/loss results, and pricing history
• Build relationships with general contractors, subcontractors, architects, and owners in the Saginaw market

• Own the turnover from estimate to awarded project: review contracts and purchase orders, confirm scope, and set up the job
• Prepare and track submittals, hardware schedules, door and frame shop drawings, and product data through approval

• Serve as the customer's primary contact; attend project meetings and visit jobsites as needed
• Manage change orders, RFIs, and backorders, and communicate cost or schedule impacts promptly
• Close out projects: final deliveries, punch items, warranty documents, and final billing

• Track job costs against the estimate and flag margin risks early
• Support progress billing and pay applications, and work with accounting on collections and retainage

• Work with branch sales, purchasing, and warehouse staff to keep projects and inventory aligned
• Help improve estimating templates, pricing tools, and project processes as the company grows

• Accurate, on‑time bids with a tracked bid log and an improving hit rate
• Awarded projects delivered at or above bid margin
• Submittals and hardware schedules approved with minimal resubmittals
• On‑time deliveries with few backorder surprises on site
• Strong working relationships with key general contractors in the Saginaw market

• 5+ years of estimating and/or project management experience in construction, building products supply, or a related trade. Frames, doors, and hardware preferred.
• Ability to read and interpret construction drawings and specifications and perform accurate takeoffs
• Product knowledge in hollow metal and wood doors, frames, and door hardware (Divisions 08 and 10); DHI certification (AHC/CDC) a plus
• Experience with Pro-Tech and…
