The posting

Quality Glass and Mirror Service is a high-growth, market leader in glass fabrication and aluminum systems, serving a six-state territory from our headquarters in Omaha, Nebraska. We're hiring an Architectural Aluminum and Glass Estimator to own the full estimating process from first drawing to final order — not just producing a number, but seeing it through.

What you'll actually do, day to day:

  • Read architectural drawings and specifications to determine storefront system type, framing dimensions, glass makeup, and hardware requirements
  • Build accurate, detailed takeoffs and quotes using industry takeoff software
  • Source and confirm pricing with aluminum system suppliers, and negotiate where needed
  • Follow up proactively with customers throughout the bid process — this is a relationship-driven role, not a submit-and-wait one
  • Once a quote is won, place and track material purchase orders and see the project through to fulfillment
  • Maintain organized, accurate project files, quote worksheets, and vendor records

This is an individual contributor role reporting directly to senior leadership — you'll own your own pipeline of quotes, not manage a team. We're looking for someone who wants to do this work hands-on and do it well, with the opportunity to grow as we do.

As part of our interview process, candidates will complete a short sample takeoff exercise so we can see your approach firsthand.

Requirements

  • 1–3+ years of commercial estimating experience specifically in architectural glass and/or aluminum systems (drapery, soft goods, or general construction estimating alone will not meet this requirement)
  • Hands-on, working proficiency with takeoff/estimating software — Bluebeam, Glazier Studio, WinBidPro, or equivalent — plus strong Excel skills
  • Direct experience with architectural aluminum systems (Tubelite, Kawneer, Oldcastle, or similar) and interior glass hardware (Assa Abloy, CRL, Dormakaba, or similar)
  • Comfortable owning a project end-to-end, including placing and tracking material orders — not just producing quotes
  • Excellent follow-up habits, organization, and attention to detail — our estimates need to hold up from quote to final invoice
  • Strong, proactive communication with customers, vendors, and internal team members
  • This is a full-time, W-2 position — we're building a long-term team, not contracting out individual deliverables
  • Preference given to candidates based in the Omaha, Iowa, or Kansas City region; strong remote candidates elsewhere will still be considered

Benefits

  • 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
  • Work From Home

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
