  • Strong mathematical and analytical skills, capable of performing precise calculations, analyzing complex data, and applying quantitative reasoning to develop competitive and profitable estimates.
  • Ability to interpret customer requirements and translate them effectively into production-ready estimates.
  • Excellent organizational and time management skills, with the ability to multitask efficiently under pressure, demonstrate urgency, and maintain high attention to detail.
  • Self-motivated and able to work independently with general supervision from senior leadership.
  • Effective written and verbal communication skills, able to collaborate and communicate clearly with customers, sales teams, and customer service representatives.
  • Skilled at gathering necessary information and approvals to support estimating activities.
  • Team-oriented mindset with the ability to work collaboratively across departments.
