Estimator

Aegis is partnered with a fourth-generation, family-owned manufacturer that has been in business for over 100 years and specializes in custom steel tanks and engineered industrial equipment. They are looking to add a Tank Estimator to support their custom, engineered-to-order tank business.

This is a technical, customer-facing role combining estimating with sales. You'll work with customers to understand their applications, review drawings and specifications, and develop custom quotes from the ground up.

Responsibilities:

• Manage 5–10+ active quoting opportunities at a time
• Review drawings, dimensions, materials, fabrication requirements, and customer specifications
• Build technical estimates and quotes for custom-fabricated tanks
• Work directly with customers to gather missing information and understand their applications
• Follow up on existing and inbound opportunities and develop customer relationships
• Work with internal engineering/manufacturing teams to determine project requirements
• Occasionally visit customers throughout Northern Illinois and Southern Wisconsin

Requirements:

• 2+ years of technical sales, estimating, or project-based manufacturing experience
• Ability to read technical drawings and specifications
• Strong mechanical aptitude and understanding of custom-fabricated products
• Customer-facing experience with strong communication skills
• Metal fabrication, welding, tanks, or pressure vessel experience is a plus
• ASME, API, UL, or similar code knowledge is a plus

This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys the technical side of manufacturing but also wants to build customer relationships and grow into sales.
