Description
Estimator
Role
The position of an Estimator is responsible for analyzing customer blueprints, CAD files, and specifications to develop accurate and competitive cost estimates.

This role is critical to maintaining profitability, workflow efficiency, and strong customer relationships in a fast-paced, custom manufacturing setting.
