We're hiring an Estimator with a strong understanding of machining, engineering materials and manufacturing processes. This opportunity is well suited to someone with a precision machining job shop background who can review a customer drawing, determine how a component should be made and prepare an accurate production estimate.
You'll estimate setup and machining cycle times for standard components and work with the lead programmer for support on complex parts and geometries. CNC programming experience is not required.
What you'll do

• Review customer drawings, specifications, dimensions, tolerances and GD&T requirements.
• Determine machining methods, operation sequences, machine selection, tooling and fixturing requirements.
• Estimate setup and cycle times for standard machined components.
• Assess how material properties, part geometry, tolerances and order quantities affect manufacturing time and cost.
• Develop production estimates covering materials, labour, machining, tooling, fixturing and outside processing.
• Prepare customer quotations using an ERP system.
• Work with the lead programmer to obtain software simulation support for complex components.
• Collaborate with production and suppliers to clarify requirements and resolve manufacturing questions.

What you'll bring

• At least five years of experience in a precision machine shop.
• Strong understanding of CNC milling and turning processes, cutting tools, workholding and machining calculations.
• Knowledge of engineering materials, including metals and engineered plastics, and how they affect machining methods and costs.
• Ability to independently interpret complex technical drawings and GD&T.
• Ability to develop realistic machine setup and cycle-time estimates for standard components.
• Experience preparing manufacturing estimates and quotations.
• Strong attention to detail, organization and communication skills.
• A high school diploma or equivalent.

Experience that would be an asset

• Manufacturing job shop experience, particularly with varied custom components and production quantities.
• Experience in an aerospace or AS9100-certified manufacturing environment.
• Experience using Mastercam or other software to simulate machining cycle times.
• Familiarity with Swiss-style turning.
• Machinist certification.

Compensation and benefits

• $70,000–$85,000 annually, depending on experience.
• Day shift with a short Friday.
• Health benefits for employees and their families.
