Manufacturing Estimator - Modular MEP Systems
Manufacturing Estimator - Modular MEP Systems
Job Description:
Youll be responsible for building accurate, reliable pricing for manufactured products. This role focuses on modular mechanical systems like skids, racks, and packaged units, turning drawings and product definitions into real, executable costs.
Your work helps the business compete in external markets while making sure whats sold can actually be built in the shop. This is manufacturing-focused estimating, centered on materials, labor, and overhead rather than full project scope.
What Youll Be Part Of
Youll work closely with sales, engineering, and shop leadership to connect product design with real-world cost and production.
Develop cost estimates for modular systems using drawings, BOMs, and product definitions
Build pricing that supports budgetary through firm proposals, including clear scope and assumptions
Partner with engineering and the shop to validate labor, fabrication methods, and manufacturability
Help create more consistency through templates, unit rates, and repeatable pricing approaches
Use feedback from actual production to improve estimate accuracy over time
Youll also be part of conversations around make versus buy, standard versus custom, and how to price for different volumes as the business grows.
What Were Looking For in You
Experience estimating manufactured or fabricated products
Strong understanding of shop labor, BOM-based costing, and overhead
Ability to read drawings and turn them into clear, buildable estimates
Comfortable working across sales, engineering, and operations
Familiarity with DFMA principles and productbased estimating
Practical, detail-oriented mindset focused on real outcomes
Must be able to travel up to 10%
This role is for someone who wants their numbers to mean something. Someone who understands that a good estimate isnt just accurate on paper, it works in the shop too.
