Job Description
Description:
ATMI Precast is not your average construction company. You will join a high-performing team that values clear communication, strong processes, and doing things the right way. Our leadership is approachable, our projects are meaningful, and your work will make a real difference.
As an Estimator at ATMI Precast, you will play a key role in the early stages of our projects — analyzing drawings, calculating costs, and developing proposals that help bring large-scale structures to life. You’ll collaborate directly with sales, engineering, and project management teams while building lasting relationships with general contractors, architects, and partners in the field. This position is ideal for someone who loves numbers, details, and problem-solving within a fast-paced, team-oriented environment.
Summary
The Estimator is responsible for collecting and analyzing data to develop accurate cost estimates for precast concrete construction projects. This role supports the sales team in pricing, proposal preparation, and client communications while ensuring cost accuracy, competitiveness, and profitability. The Estimator also represents ATMI’s values and professionalism when engaging with customers and partners.
