Inside Sales/Estimator

Location: Innisfail, Alberta Schedule: Monday to Friday 8:00 am to 4:30 pm Bilton Welding and Manufacturing Ltd. (Bilton) is seeking an Estimator with a solid foundation in fabrication and a strong aptitude for learning. Prior estimating experience is not required — what matters most is a keen eye for detail, strong problem-solving skills, and the ability to thrive in a collaborative team environment. In this role, you’ll contribute to developing accurate and competitive proposals for complex fabrication and manufacturing projects. It’s an excellent opportunity for someone with fabrication or industry experience who is eager to grow their career in estimating. If you’re ready to take your knowledge to the next level, this is your chance to step into a role where your expertise helps deliver projects of scale, precision, and impact. What Sets Us Apart: At Bilton, we don’t just build equipment, we build opportunity, innovation, and careers. * Custom Innovation – From pressure vessels, API tanks, and skid packages to heat exchangers, storage bullets, and flare knock-out drums, every build is engineered to ASME, ABSA, CSA, and API standards, as well as complex client specifications. * Excellence & Quality – ASME “U” Stamp and CWB certification guarantee uncompromising quality and results trusted across industries. * Collaboration & Growth – Work with engineers, designers, project managers, and shop experts who value efficiency, mentorship, and career development. * Compensation & Benefits – Competitive salary, comprehensive benefits, and long-term growth opportunities. Your Role as Our Estimator: In this career-defining role, you’ll transform specs, drawings, and concepts into winning proposals that keep Bilton at the forefront of fabrication. * Review proposal specifications and drawings to define work scope and estimate requirements. * Develop comprehensive cost estimates for conceptual, design-build, and tender projects. * Collaborate with internal teams and external vendors to ensure accuracy and competitiveness. * Recommend innovative, cost-effective solutions without compromising precision. * Manage client clarifications and deliver on time, high-impact proposals. Qualifications/Requirements: * 3-5+ years of fabrication, shop, or industrial experience. * Proficiency in Microsoft Office (Excel, Word, Outlook) and ERP/MRP software (M2M an asset). * Strong analytical, problem-solving, and decision-making skills. * Excellent communication, time management, and teamwork abilities. * A career-minded focus with the drive to grow, lead, and make your mark. Why This Opportunity Stands Out This role goes beyond traditional estimating—it’s about fueling our full-cycle manufacturing facilities with a steady stream of projects. At Bilton, your work is visible, valued, and vital. If you’re looking for a role where your expertise shapes outcomes, your growth is fueled, your impact is amplified, and your career becomes part of something bigger, Bilton is where you belong. Apply today and build your future with Bilton. Thank you to all applicants; however, only candidates selected for an interview will be contacted.
