# Architectural Aluminum and Glass Estimator > Quality Glass and Mirror Service · Omaha, United States · Full-time · Posted 2026-11-14 **Workplace:** on_site ## Description ## **The Job:** ### Architectural Aluminum Estimator · On-site in Omaha, NE · Full-time, W-2 We're hiring an aluminum estimator to own our architectural aluminum quotes from start to finish. That means doing the takeoff and the bid, staying on the customer until we know where we stand, and placing the orders once we win it. We're a glass fabricator and architectural aluminum supplier in Omaha. We sell to glazing contractors and builders across six states, and we partner with Tubelite to provide storefront and curtainwall solutions for wholesale customers. We're growing, and this role is an important part of that growth. The people who do best in this job don't just price what's on the drawings. They read the specs, figure out what the building really needs, and call the customer back with a better or cheaper way to get there. ### What you'll do Most days you'll be in plans and specs for storefront, curtainwall, entrances, and all-glass walls and doors. You'll do the takeoff, build the bid, and send the customer a clear proposal that spells out what's in, what's out, and where the drawings leave questions. When something doesn't fit a normal package, we want you to find a way. That might be an alternate system, a different supplier, or scope the customer didn't think about. After the bid goes out, you'll answer quote requests fast and follow up on every open bid until it's a yes or a no. When we win, you place the aluminum and hardware orders yourself and track them through delivery. Keep your files in good enough shape that someone else could pick up a job if they had to. You'll report to senior leadership. This is a hands-on job. You'll own your own quotes, and you won't be managing anyone. ## Requirements ### What you need to bring - At least 3 years estimating commercial storefront, curtainwall, and entrances. We'd prefer 5 or more. General construction, steel, millwork, or residential window estimating alone doesn't meet this requirement. - Hands-on experience with Tubelite, Kawneer, YKK AP, Oldcastle, Trulite, or something like them. You should understand how these systems are built and installed, as well as how to price them. - You're comfortable in a takeoff program (Bluebeam, GDS, WinBidPro, Glazier Studio, whatever you use) and in Excel. We don't have a preference on software, but you should be productive in it from day one. - You've placed and tracked your own material orders, and you can tell us how you keep bids and POs on track. - You communicate proactively and keep customers, vendors, and our shop updated without being asked. - You can work out of our Omaha office. This position is not remote. ### Nice to have - You've won a job by pitching a different system, supplier, or approach than what was drawn. - You know interior glass hardware and all-glass entrances (Assa Abloy, CRL, Dormakaba, or similar). - You've worked in the field or in a shop, so you know what it takes to build what you're bidding, and you can take your own field measurements. - You know your way around glass makeup. This is helpful but not required. We'll teach you our side of the glass business. ### How to apply Apply here and answer the questions below. Short answers are fine, but give us real examples. If it looks like a fit, we'll send you a short sample takeoff (a Tubelite storefront and an all-glass entrance) before we sit down, so we can see how you work. ## Benefits ### Location, pay, and benefits **Location**: You'll work out of our office and fab shop in Omaha. If you're not here yet, we're open to helping with relocation for the right person. **Pay**: Competitive base pay for an experienced aluminum estimator, plus incentive pay tied to what you quote, win, and service. Top performers can earn significantly more through the incentive plan. - Health Care Plan (Medical, Dental & Vision) - Retirement Plan (401k, IRA), with Company Match Up to 4% - Life Insurance (Basic, Voluntary & AD&D) - Paid Time Off (Vacation, Sick & Public Holidays) - Family Leave (Maternity, Paternity) - Short Term & Long Term Disability - Training & Development ## Apply [Apply at Quality Glass and Mirror Service](https://apply.workable.com/quality-glass/j/D1344385FA/apply) --- Powered by [Workable](https://www.workable.com)
