$95,000.00/yr - $105,000.00/yr
About the role A well‑established contract manufacturing business is hiring a
Sales Estimator
to support quoting activity across rotary die‑cutting, flatbed die‑cutting, laser converting, and assembly/packaging. You’ll build accurate, competitive estimates from RFQs and specifications, partnering closely with engineering, operations, and sales to ensure quotes reflect real‑world manufacturing capability.
What you’ll do
Produce detailed cost estimates for custom converted and assembled components from drawings/specs/RFQs
Create basic web paths for rotary die‑cutting and web converting, including multi‑layer lamination and part‑removal steps
Review part geometry and production requirements to recommend tooling/process strategies
Estimate feed rates, machine speeds, changeovers, yields, and efficiencies to calculate per‑part costs
Collaborate with engineering, production, and purchasing to validate assumptions and manufacturability
Use ERP/quoting tools to document estimates and maintain job records
Source and estimate materials (films, adhesives, liners, tapes, other converting materials) to spec
Support sales by explaining cost drivers and proposing alternates (materials/design/process) where useful
Keep up to date with converting materials, processes, and new technology
What you’ll bring (must‑haves)
3+ years in estimating or process engineering within contract manufacturing or converting
Strong understanding of rotary die‑cutting, laminating, slitting, part‑removal, and assembly processes
Working knowledge of converting materials (films, pressure‑sensitive adhesives, release liners, specialty papers)
Strong Excel skills and experience using ERP/MRP and/or quoting systems
Ability to interpret engineering drawings and customer specifications
Clear communicator with solid commercial judgement and stakeholder coordination skills
Nice to have
Lean / continuous improvement exposure and structured cost‑model approaches
CAD or 2D layout experience for visualising web paths
Experience with medical/OEM style requirements (tight tolerances, documentation, traceability)
Safety + continuous improvement This is a hands‑on manufacturing environment with a strong safety culture—team members are expected to raise concerns, support problem‑solving, and contribute to continuous improvement.
