Estimating Assistant

About the Role

Sales And Marketing Inc. (S.A.M.I.) is seeking a detail-oriented and organized Remote Estimating Assistant to support our sales team and manufacturer partners in the audio/video and custom-integration industry.

This position is ideal for someone who enjoys working with numbers, product information, pricing, spreadsheets, quotes, and customer requirements. The Estimating Assistant will help prepare accurate estimates and proposals while coordinating information between sales representatives, manufacturers, dealers, integrators, and customers.

The successful candidate will be comfortable working independently in a remote environment, managing multiple requests at once, and maintaining a high level of accuracy and follow-through.

Key Responsibilities

• Prepare estimates, quotes, proposals, and pricing worksheets based on project requirements.
• Review project specifications, product lists, quantities, and pricing information for accuracy.
• Research manufacturer products, specifications, availability, and pricing as needed.
• Enter and maintain pricing, product, and project information in spreadsheets and company systems.
• Assist sales representatives with takeoffs, product substitutions, pricing comparisons, and quote revisions.
• Request and organize pricing and product information from manufacturers and vendors.
• Track open estimates and follow up on outstanding information.
• Compare vendor/manufacturer pricing and identify discrepancies or missing information.
• Help ensure estimates are complete, accurate, and delivered within requested deadlines.
• Maintain organized records of quotes, revisions, project documents, and correspondence.
• Communicate professionally with sales representatives, dealers, integrators, manufacturers, and internal team members.
• Assist with administrative and sales-support duties as needed.

Qualifications

• 1–3 years of experience in estimating, quoting, sales support, purchasing, project coordination, or a related field preferred.
• Strong attention to detail and accuracy with numbers.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets.
• Ability to learn product catalogs, pricing structures, and manufacturer programs.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.
• Excellent organization and time-management abilities.
• Ability to prioritize multiple projects and meet deadlines with minimal supervision.
• Comfortable working independently in a fully remote environment.
• Professional, dependable, and responsive communication style.

• Purchasing or procurement

• Dealer/integrator sales support

Industry experience is helpful but not required for candidates with strong estimating, administrative, analytical, or sales-support skills.

What Success Looks Like

In this role, success means producing accurate estimates on time, keeping project information organized, responding promptly to requests, and making it easier for the sales team and manufacturer partners to move opportunities forward.

You should be someone who naturally double-checks details, asks questions when information is unclear, and takes ownership of tasks from initial request through completion.
