Technical Quoter

Are you a seasoned quoting professional with a strong technical background and a passion for solving customer problems through precise, value-driven proposals? We’re seeking an experienced Technical Quoter to join our Technical Sales team and take ownership of complex, project-based quoting initiatives that fuel our company’s growth.

You’ll work closely with Outside Sales, Engineering, Automation, and Purchasing to craft competitive, technically sound quotes for assemblies and projects. This is an excellent opportunity for someone who thrives on cross-functional collaboration, attention to detail, and delivering timely results in a fast-paced environment.

What You’ll Do

As a Technical Quoter, you will:

• Lead the quoting process for complex and project-based RFQs from inbound requests, intercompany teams, and field sales reps.
• Gather and assess all necessary technical and commercial information to build accurate, complete quotes.
• Communicate with vendors to secure special pricing and confirm availability or lead times.
• Identify opportunities to upsell accessories, backups, or alternative solutions that increase project value.
• Execute timely follow-up to convert open quotes into purchase orders using CRM tools and sales strategies.
• Coordinate handoffs to the Order Entry and Customer Service team to ensure a smooth post-quote transition.
• Serve as a technical resource for Outside Sales by aligning solutions to customer requirements and application needs.
• Work collaboratively with internal teams to verify technical feasibility and pricing integrity.
  
  

Key Performance Expectations

• Quote turnaround: Most quotes completed within 24–48 hours; complex projects submitted within one week.
• Accuracy: Maintain high quoting precision and minimize errors or rework.
• Conversion: Drive strong quote-to-order ratios through persistent and thoughtful follow-up.
• Gross profit impact: Contribute to revenue through upselling and strategic quoting.
• Team collaboration: Participate in inbox monitoring, quote sharing, and team alignment.
  
  

What You’ll Bring

• 7–10 years of experience in quoting, estimating, technical sales, or application engineering—preferably in industrial equipment, automation, or engineered products.
• Strong technical background with the ability to understand and configure assemblies, systems, and components for industrial applications.
• Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Excel for quoting tools, data analysis, margin calculation, and vendor comparison.
• Experience with ERP and CRM tools—Prophet 21 (P21) and WPCRM strongly preferred.
• Exceptional written and verbal communication skills to convey technical and commercial information clearly.
• Strong organizational skills with the ability to prioritize tasks, manage multiple open quotes, and meet tight deadlines.
• High level of initiative and ownership with a customer-focused mindset.
  
  

Preferred Qualifications

• Industry experience in flow control, industrial valves, instrumentation, or factory automation solutions.
• Familiarity with customer and vendor portals for product research and pricing.
