Pro Sales - Estimator
As a key support pillar of our sales team, the Estimator is a rewarding behind-the-scenes role where your eye for detail helps turn plans into winning deals! In this position, you will champion our company mission by preparing accurate estimates and quotes, building quotes in our POS system, and performing building material take-offs for commercial and residential projects. You will collaborate closely with Outside Sales Representatives, customers, and vendors to keep every project moving smoothly and make sure our customers feel taken care of from the very first take-off through final delivery. If you love working independently, staying organized in a fast-paced environment, and being a dependable teammate others can count on, this role is the perfect place to grow!
Job Duties
The duties listed below are not intended nor should they be considered a complete list of responsibilities. Times may arise when additional responsibilities are given by management as business dictates.
Estimating & Quoting
Document Review: Review and understand drawings, specifications, and all other construction documents.
Material Take-Offs: Using industry estimating software to perform building material take-offs for commercial and residential designs that comply with company policies and local building codes in a timely manner.
Take-Off Review: Review and correct potential inaccuracies in materials lists, and prepare building material take-off documentation for contractor proposals.
Quote Accuracy: Timely and accurately prepare quotes within our Point of Sale system, interacting with employees, customers, and vendors to ensure quotes are accurate and delivered on time.
Project Reconciliation: Review actual versus estimated materials upon completion of each project.
Sales Support
Sales Team Support: Support all actions essential to ensure the efficient and profitable operation of the sales team.
Outside Sales Assistance: Assist outside sales representatives with daily business and provide support to ensure timely and effective customer service and achievement of sales goals.
Delay Communication: Promptly communicate any delays to outside sales representatives and/or customers.
Customer Service
Customer Calls: Promptly handle all incoming customer calls and/or requests.
Administration & Compliance
Policy Compliance: Maintain familiarity with and adherence to Stine Policies and Procedures.
Recordkeeping: Complete and maintain proper paperwork for all transactions.
Professional Development & Representation
Product Knowledge: Develop and maintain state-of-the-art product knowledge in the building materials industry.
Professional Conduct: Represent Stine in a professional manner at all times.
Meetings & Training: Attend store training meetings as requested.
A Day in the Life: Estimator
Although no two days look the same, you’ll often begin your day by checking in on open estimates and any new requests from your Outside Sales team, then diving into the drawings, specifications, and construction documents for your next project to make sure you understand the full scope before you quote it.
From there, you might turn to the estimating software to put together accurate take-offs and quotes for upcoming commercial and residential projects, then double-check your materials lists for any inaccuracies before they go out the door.
You could also find yourself coordinating with vendors and employees to nail down pricing details, preparing take-off documentation for a contractor proposal, or reconciling actual materials against your original estimate on a project that just wrapped up. If a delay comes up, you’re quick to loop in your sales reps or customers so nobody’s caught off guard.
Throughout it all, you’re staying on top of the details that keep everything running smoothly — fielding a customer call, completing paperwork for the day’s transactions, brushing up on the latest building materials and products, or attending a quick training session. Whatever task is in front of you, precision, follow-through, and confidentiality carry through everything you do.
Working Conditions
Primarily an office environment, with occasional local travel to job sites and projects (estimated at less than 5% of work time). Work requires constant medium work, exerting 20 to 50 pounds of force occasionally and 10 to 25 pounds frequently, with occasional heavy work exerting up to 100 pounds of force. Physical effort involves standing, extensive walking, and medium lifting on a regular basis.
