  • Speak with new clients, using knowledge of the company's business, past projects and methodology to respond to their project and questions. 
  • Correspond with architects, contractors and owners/developers to provide information, pricing, and samples.
  • Respond and communicate promptly and consistently, with a sense of urgency.
  • Develop and maintain estimate and proposal templates.

  • Lead visitor tours of our shop, and the DLT mass timber manufacturing line
  • Create fabrication orders for mass timber product samples and coordinate delivery to clients.
  • Lead project handover meetings for awarded projects.
  • Use and grow your skills for estimating in spreadsheets and software (Bluebeam, Excel, 3D programs, etc).
  • Develop and maintain detailed knowledge of the Company's products and services.

Position Requirements:

  • Educational degree in Engineering (Bachelor's degree minimum, Master's degree preferred), with a focus on timber/wood technology and engineering.
