Multi-Family Component/Truss Estimator - MiTek Preferred
This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, who manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for a Multi-Family Component/Truss Estimator - MiTek Preferred based in the United States.
This role focuses on delivering highly accurate truss and component estimates for multi-family construction projects, playing a critical part in ensuring bids are precise, competitive, and buildable. You will work closely with architectural and structural plans to translate complex designs into detailed material take-offs and truss layouts. The position requires deep technical expertise in truss design and estimating rather than general construction estimating. You will collaborate with designers and sales teams to align on specifications, resolve discrepancies, and support project execution from a pre-construction standpoint. It is a detail-driven role where accuracy, blueprint interpretation, and software proficiency directly influence project success. This is an opportunity to contribute to large-scale construction projects in a fast-paced, technically specialized environment.
Accountabilities:
- Perform detailed and accurate material take-offs for multi-family truss and structural component systems.
- Interpret architectural and structural blueprints to develop truss layouts and determine material requirements for bids.
- Review and identify discrepancies in truss-related material lists and ensure corrections are applied before submission.
- Collaborate with truss and component designers to ensure accurate specifications and alignment with project requirements.
- Support outside sales teams by providing blueprint insights, estimating updates, and project clarifications.
- Assist in preparing competitive bids by ensuring precision in estimating outputs and documentation.
- Communicate effectively with internal teams to ensure project timelines and estimating accuracy are maintained.
- Minimum 4+ years of hands-on experience in multi-family truss design or truss estimating (general estimating experience alone is not sufficient).
- Strong ability to read and interpret architectural and structural drawings, with a focus on truss layouts.
- Deep understanding of multi-family construction standards and structural framing systems.
- Proficiency in truss design/estimating software, with strong preference for MiTek (ITW/Alpine experience is a plus).
- Solid experience using Microsoft Office Suite (Word, Excel, Outlook, Access).
- Strong attention to detail with the ability to identify and correct material or design inconsistencies.
- Experience in building materials or construction-related sales environments is a plus.
- Must be authorized to work in the United States.
- Comprehensive health, dental, and vision insurance plans available for individuals and families after 30 days.
- Company-paid life insurance and accidental death & dismemberment (AD&D) coverage.
- Optional supplemental life insurance and disability coverage (short- and long-term).
- 401(k) retirement plan with company match.
- Paid vacation time and company holidays.
- Vendor incentive programs and performance-related rewards.
- Strong internal growth opportunities with a promote-from-within culture.
