Estimating Technical Trainer

Estimating Technical Trainer is responsible for developing and delivering structured training programs that build foundational capability in estimating, quantity take-off, and customer-facing production workflows. The role prepares staff to understand practical estimating processes, product-specific design expectations, and the technical judgment required before they progress to Operations or customer-specific training.
The role converts product design and estimating knowledge into practical learning modules, exercises, assessment tasks, and coaching activities. It ensures learners understand not only software or calculation steps, but also the logic behind estimating, quantifying, and customer process expectations.
