ROLE OVERVIEW

The CPQ Estimator serves as the vital technical link between Sales and Operations, responsible for translating complex customer requirements into precise, profitable, and buildable quotes. Operating within the EOS framework, this seat owns the accuracy of the CPQ system’s output, ensuring that all material specifications align with both dealer expectations and the latest engineering standards. By managing the lifecycle of an estimate—from initial configuration and resolving technical RFIs to the precise execution of change orders—the CPQ Estimator protects company margins and eliminates downstream manufacturing errors. Ultimately, they provide the “technical reality check” that allows the sales team to move with speed and confidence while ensuring every closed deal is structurally sound and financially viable.

YOUR 5 CORE ROLES / RESPONSIBILITIES

1. Accurate CPQ Quote Generation: Owning the “Source of Truth” for pricing. You are responsible for taking a salesperson’s request and turning it into a technically sound, material estimate within the CPQ software.
2. Change Order & Revision Management: Managing the “Delta.” When a project scope shifts, the Estimator is responsible for capturing those changes, updating the cost logic, and ensuring the new price is documented and approved before work continues.
3. Material Specification & Dealer Alignment: Ensuring “What they see is what they get.” Verify that every material choice in the quote aligns with both the provided DSS and the client’s specific site/project requirements.
4. Coordination with CPQ Specialist: Work closely with the CPQ Specialist when configuration questions or system adjustments are required to ensure pricing reflects the correct product setup.
5. RFI (Request for Information) & Pricing Coordination: Respond to pricing-related inquiries from Sales or Dealers and coordinate with the CPQ manager or CPQ specialist when additional information is required. Maintain visibility on quoting timelines, communicate status updates to the CPQ Manager, and ensure dealers receive timely responses to support project schedules.

QUALIFICATIONS & REQUIREMENTS

• Technical Estimating Experience: 3–5 years of experience in technical quoting, cost analysis, or sales operations within a complex manufacturing or engineering environment.
• Blueprint & Schematic Literacy: Proven ability to read and interpret engineering drawings, CAD files, or architectural plans to verify material specifications.
• CPQ Proficiency: Experience in CPQ software and a solid understanding of building materials and systems.
• Analytical Math: Competency in calculating formulas, unit conversions, and the relationship between them.
• Detail-Oriented Communication: Exceptional ability to manage RFIs (Requests for Information) and translate technical engineering constraints into clear, actionable data for the Sales team and Dealers.

COMPENSATION

The salary range for this role is $28 – $34 an hour, depending on experience. In addition to competitive pay, we offer a comprehensive benefits package, including health insurance, retirement plans, paid time off and opportunities for professional growth and development.
