A highlight of your day-to-day will include:

  • Managing the work order process to provide accurate work orders and drawings for production.

  • Managing project take-offs and estimating for projects in the planning and bidding stages.
  • Tracking and reporting project progress from submittal stage to product installation via our Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system.
  • Ensuring deliverables fall within the applicable scope, schedule, and budget.
  • Preparing a weekly sales report for the Sales Manager's review and distribution to the team.
  • Ensuring that mutually agreed upon contract clearly specifies terms and conditions and all products requested clearly specify requirements per drawings and plans so that the estimates are 100% accurate for each project in support of efficiency, accuracy, and deadline adherence.
  • Communicating the date the product can be manufactured and ready for delivery, changes to orders, add-ons, and any other issues that may arise during the manufacturing process to the customers.
  • Ensuring delivery date is scheduled per customer needs and delivered as requested.
  • Obtaining project site specifications and safety standards to communicate with dispatch for offloading products, and understanding hazards for crane operators.
