Previous blueprint or estimating experience is an asset, but not required. We are prepared to train the right candidate.

The position works across two key areas of our business:

- Interior Finishing: interior doors, mouldings, trim, hardware, and accessories
- Hollow Metal: commercial doors, frames, and architectural hardware

Key Responsibilities
- Learn to read and interpret construction drawings and blueprints
- Complete material takeoffs and determine project requirements
- Prepare and manage quotes, work orders, and project documentation
- Coordinate materials, schedules, deliveries, and installations
- Track purchase orders, backorders, changes, and outstanding project requirements
- Communicate with builders, site supervisors, suppliers, and installers
- Work closely with our sales, warehouse, delivery, installation, and woodshop teams
- Assist with project pricing, adjustments, and change orders




- Identify potential project issues and help resolve them before they affect schedules
- Maintain accurate and organized project records
- Help ensure projects are completed accurately and efficiently from order through installation

What We’re Looking For
- Strong attention to detail and accuracy
- Excellent organizational and time-management skills
- Comfortable working with measurements, quantities, and numbers
- Ability and willingness to learn blueprint reading and material takeoffs
- Strong communication and problem-solving skills
- Ability to manage multiple projects and priorities at the same time
- Intermediate Microsoft Office skills
- A proactive approach to following up and keeping projects moving

Experience That Would Be an Asset Experience is not required in all of these areas, but backgrounds in any of the following would be beneficial:
- Construction or building materials
- Project coordination or project administration
- Estimating or material takeoffs
- Blueprint or construction drawing review
- Doors, hardware, millwork, lumber, or interior finishing
- Residential or commercial construction

Compensation & Performance Incentive This position offers a competitive base salary along with a monthly performance incentive tied to project coordination and successful project execution.

Expected Total Compensation: Approximately $45,000–$55,000 annually,



with the majority of compensation coming from base salary and a portion tied to performance incentives.

Career Growth

This is more than an administrative position. The successful candidate will gain hands-on experience with construction drawings, estimating, purchasing, scheduling, customer coordination, and project execution.

As experience develops, there are opportunities to grow into areas such as estimating, project management, operations, sales, and leadership.

We are looking for someone who wants to learn the business, take on increasing responsibility, and build a long-term career with Gunther’s.
