We are currently seeking an experienced Estimator / Project Manager to join our team.

This is a hands-on position for someone with a strong metal fabrication background who is comfortable working directly with customers, shop personnel, suppliers, subcontractors, and qualified engineers.

The successful candidate will be responsible for estimating and managing multiple custom fabrication projects from initial quotation through completion.
