We currently have an opening for an Estimator – Technical Sales supports Trylon’s commercial activities by preparing accurate, timely, and well-structured cost estimates for steel towers and fabricated structural components. Our bid activity spans structural steel for general construction projects and steel structures for electrical transmission and distribution projects, alongside our telecom and custom tower work.

- Identify design details, weld requirements, tolerances, steel grades, and any features that influence fabrication cost.

Material Takeoffs & Quantification

- Perform detailed material takeoffs for structural steel sections, plate, accessories, fasteners, and assembly components.

Cost Estimating & Pricing Support

- Develop labour, material, and process cost estimates for cutting, forming, welding, machining, galvanizing, coatings, and logistics.
- Utilize historical cost data and supplier pricing to prepare accurate and competitive cost models.
- Support pricing strategy, margin evaluation, and commercial decision-making.

Scoping & Methodology Development





- Assist in scoping new opportunities by identifying technical requirements, risks, assumptions, and cost drivers early in the bid cycle.
- Lead and support the development of new estimating methodologies that leverage technology—including data-driven estimating tools, automation, standardized templates, and digital workflows—to increase estimating efficiency and accuracy.
- Participate in internal initiatives to streamline processes, reduce manual effort, and improve consistency across quotations.

Cross‑Functional Coordination

- Collaborate with Engineering to resolve technical uncertainties and ensure manufacturability alignment.
- Engage Supply Chain for up‑to‑date material pricing, supplier quotes, and external process costs.
- Identify complex or heavy fabricated items requiring special handling and work with Manufacturing Engineering to obtain feasibility assessments, ensuring the item can be produced and that any associated tooling and cost impacts are captured in the estimate.

Bid Package Preparation

- Prepare complete quotation packages including cost summaries, scope statements, clarifications, exclusions, and internal approvals.
- Ensure submissions meet customer requirements and internal quality expectations.

Process & Data Management

- Maintain organized estimate files, templates, historical cost references, and BOM data.
- Support continuous improvement of estimating tools, cost databases, and workflow efficiency.

Other duties as assigned.
