Job Description

Description:

Virginia MetalFab is looking for a motivated and energetic individual to fill the role of Estimator .

Who We’re Looking For

• Strong math, analytical, and problem-solving skills
• Excellent attention to detail and high accuracy in your work
• Solid understanding of manufacturing or fabrication workflows
• Comfortable reviewing technical documents (drawings, specs, etc.)
• Professional communicator, both written and verbal
• Self-starter who can work independently and as part of a team
• Able to prioritize and manage multiple estimates and projects

About the Role

As an Estimator , your primary responsibility will be to prepare accurate and timely cost estimates for metal fabrication projects. You'll analyze technical documents such as blueprints, drawings, and specifications, and work closely with internal teams to develop quotes that reflect our capabilities and customer needs.

• Review incoming RFQs and prepare clear, professional quotes in a timely manner
• Collaborate with engineering, production, and purchasing to identify the best processes and materials
• Determine project feasibility and alignment with shop capabilities
• Communicate directly with customers to clarify project requirements and answer technical questions
• Assist in refining and improving internal estimating tools and processes
• Preview CAD files to confirm production readiness and provide design feedback when needed
• Track and manage multiple estimates simultaneously while meeting internal deadlines
