Description

Precision Steel Services — Toledo, OH

Precision Steel Services has supplied steel across the Midwest since 1974. We are looking for an Estimator to turn customer requests into accurate, competitive quotes that help us win business.

Every order starts with a quote.

As an Estimator, you will review customer requests, prints, and specifications. You'll interpret what the customer is asking for and build a price that is accurate, competitive, and profitable. You'll work alongside Account Management, our data team, and the shop to make sure every quote reflects what we can actually deliver, and when.

You'll start on our standard quotes and learn our process step by step: customer review, pricing strategy, material utilization, processing costs, and a disciplined final check before anything goes out. More complex work, including outside sourcing and high-volume jobs, is trained as you demonstrate readiness.

This is not just math. It requires print-reading skill, sound judgment, attention to detail, and the ability to work quickly through a high volume of requests without letting errors reach the customer. It is a technical role, and it is a competitive one.

What You'll Do

• Review customer requests, emails, prints, and specifications to fully understand what the customer is asking for
• Verify that quote information is complete and accurate before pricing: dimensions, grades, quantities, and details
• Identify special requirements such as testing, inspection, tolerances, or origin restrictions, and confirm them with the shop before quoting
• Review customer history and win/loss patterns to set a competitive price position
• Evaluate how parts fit standard stock sizes and account for unusable remnant and waste
• Build and verify pricing in our pricing software, including material cost, markup, and processing costs such as burning
• Recognize material we don't stock or processes we can't run in-house, and route those quotes correctly
• Spot jobs that exceed volume, weight, or dollar thresholds and follow the defined escalation path
• Document assumptions, lead times, and any changes clearly on the quote so the customer is never surprised
• Run a final review of every quote for accuracy, minimums, and total-cost sanity before sending
• Communicate your value-add and time-critical information to Account Management so they can win the order
• Turn around urgent quotes quickly and communicate directly when timing is at risk
• Help teammates when workloads spike and share what you learn with the team

What We Expect

• You move quickly without sacrificing accuracy. Every number is deliberate.
• You recognize patterns and know where to focus: what matters on a quote and what doesn't
• You follow a methodical, repeatable process instead of relying on memory
• You ask questions early, especially when you're stuck
• You never guess on pricing or capability. You verify it.
• You surface problems early, even when they're uncomfortable
• You learn fast and apply coaching quickly
• You stay steady on high-volume, ambiguous, or urgent days
• You own your wins and your misses, and you learn from both
• You work cooperatively and support the team, not just your own desk
• You show up reliably and are ready to work your scheduled on-site hours

What Winning Looks Like

• Quotes go out faster than the customer expected, with no compromise in quality
• Quotes leave your desk accurate the first time, without preventable corrections
• Special requirements are verified and written on the quote before it is sent
• Material and processing limitations are caught early and routed correctly
• Waste and remnant are covered in the price, not absorbed by the company
• Account Managers have what they need to win the order when they make the follow-up call
• Urgent quotes are completed on time, or the Account Manager hears about a delay first
• You maintain both accuracy and pace when the workload increases
• An Account Manager says, "That quote made it easy to win."
