ensure designs are practical and align with LFG’s manufacturing capabilities.
• Quotations & Proposals: Generate professional, competitive proposals that meet
customer requirements while supporting profitability and long-term partnerships.
• Vendor & Supplier Relations: Issue RFQs, secure competitive pricing, negotiate
with suppliers, and recommend alternatives where appropriate.
• Customer Engagement: Work alongside sales to strategize on bids, clarify
requirements, and support customers through the quoting process.
• Value Engineering: Identify opportunities to optimize designs and reduce costs
without sacrificing quality or performance.
• Tracking & Reporting: Maintain historical cost databases, supplier information, and
ensure accurate documentation of all bids and proposals.
• Follow-Up: Track open quotes, support transition from awarded projects, and
provide input on post-project reviews.

Qualifications

OR relevant experience in electrical estimating, quotations, or project
coordination.
• 2+ years of experience in electrical distribution, switchgear, or manufacturing
environment preferred.
• Ability to read and interpret technical drawings, specifications, and bid packages.
• Strong math, analytical, and organizational skills with an eye for detail.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office; experience with ERP/MRP or estimation software
is a plus.
