You’ll work directly with engineering, production, and ownership to win the right work at the right price. It’s a high-visibility role, and your numbers shape what we build.

Full-time, 1st shift, on-site at either location. You choose:

Emmaus, PA (headquarters)

Sheet metal estimating experience. You’ve quoted sheet metal fabrication work, ideally in a job shop or contract manufacturing environment.
Sheet metal process knowledge. You understand laser cutting, press brake forming, punching, hardware insertion, welding, and finishing. You also know how material, gauge, bend count, and tolerances drive cost.
Blueprint fluency. You read engineering drawings and specs with confidence and catch issues before they reach the floor.
Accuracy and attention to detail. Your math is sharp and your numbers hold up in production.
Strong communication. You communicate clearly with customers, vendors, and the shop.
Organized and tech-savvy. You’re comfortable with estimating software and Microsoft Office, and you can manage several quotes at once against tight deadlines.

Nice to Have

Aerospace or industrial fabrication background
Hands-on shop floor experience as a fabricator, brake operator, or programmer
Experience negotiating pricing with vendors and subcontractors
Familiarity with job shop scheduling and capacity planning

Build detailed quotes covering material, machine time, labor, overhead, and margin.
Get pricing and lead times from suppliers and subcontractors, and negotiate favorable terms.
Set realistic lead times with production and scheduling.
Prepare and present competitive bids, and take part in bid reviews.
