- Strong technical aptitude with the ability to interpret drawings, specifications, and project documentation
- Experience estimating labor, material, and time requirements for custom or engineered projects
- Comfort operating in engineering driven, build to order environments rather than transactional sales models

- Strong analytical skills with a focus on cost control and budget management
- Creative problem-solving skills and the ability to develop practical, customer-focused solutions
- Collaborative mindset with the ability to work cross-functionally with sales, engineering, production, and leadership
