Estimating (Sales Engineering) Manager
Milwaukee, WI | On-Site | Full-Time
Are you a technically sharp estimating or engineering professional ready to step into a leadership role that directly drives revenue? A growing contract metals manufacturer in the Milwaukee area is hiring an Estimating Manager to lead its quoting function and help shape the company’s go-to-market strategy.
What You’ll Do
• Lead and develop a team of estimators across multiple manufacturing divisions
• Own the end-to-end quoting process — from RFQ review and scope analysis to final quote delivery
• Partner with sales, engineering, and operations to ensure estimates are accurate, competitive, and aligned with company capabilities
• Build costing models and support sales in customer negotiations
• Drive continuous improvement in estimating tools, processes, and KPI reporting
What We’re Looking For
• 8+ years in engineering and/or estimating within a metals manufacturing environment
• Hands-on knowledge of machining, tooling, and/or fabrication — including blueprint reading and GD&T
• Experience working alongside or embedded with sales teams
• A natural relationship-builder with high EQ and the ability to influence cross-functionally
• Detail-oriented, organized, and comfortable managing competing priorities
Bonus Points
• Prior leadership or estimating management experience
• BS/BA in Engineering or related field
Why This Role
This is a high-visibility role at a company that’s actively investing in its people and processes. You’ll have real influence over team culture, quoting strategy, and business outcomes — not just executing someone else’s playbook.
