• Develop accurate cost estimates within established turnaround expectations while maintaining a high standard of quality and consistency.
• Coordinate with sales representatives and customers to gather missing details, confirm scope, and ensure each quotation reflects the requested product or service accurately.
• Issue finalized quotations to customers or internal sales partners as needed and support follow-up communication related to pricing or scope.
• Offer technical guidance and pricing assistance to estimators, sales personnel, and customers when questions arise during the quotation process.
• Analyze customer requirements, contract considerations, and demand-related information to support commercially sound pricing decisions.
• Utilize estimating platforms and related tools, including CPQ or similar software, to prepare, organize, and manage quote documentation.
• Spend time in both office and manufacturing settings to validate assumptions, align pricing with production realities, and support estimating accuracy.
