We're seeking a proactive, technically strong individual to join our small, dynamic team at Luvanize as a full-time Technical Quoting & Sales Engineer. This role is central to bridging customer needs with accurate, profitable proposals and seamless handovers to our design and production teams.

In a growing business like Luvanize, you'll focus on high-value technical work (quoting, costings, concepts, customer liaison) while also handling some lighter business-support tasks (e.g., basic social media posting to showcase our projects). These extras are minimal now and will be delegated as we scale—ideal for someone adaptable who enjoys variety and contributing to overall success.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop conceptual designs for new projects and RFQs using Autodesk Inventor (parametric modeling, assemblies, key features) to establish accurate cost bases and feasibility checks.
• Perform detailed machining, fabrication, and assembly costings based on Inventor models (extract BOMs, material volumes, feature complexities, iProperties).
• Track and manage Requests for Quotations (RFQs) from receipt to response/follow-up.
• Engage directly with customers (phone, email, site visits) to clarify requirements, take measurements, discuss technical aspects, and confirm proposals align with their needs.
• Handle customer complaints/resolutions promptly, escalating as needed while maintaining strong relationships.
• Draft comprehensive, technically sound quotes for owner approval, incorporating risk assessments and value-adds.
• Prepare handover packages to the design office (Inventor files, BOM exports, notes, simplified views); provide occasional Inventor support during design overload periods.
• Manage light social media presence (primarily LinkedIn, possibly Facebook/Instagram): 3-5 posts/week featuring project showcases, fabrication/machining processes, tips, or customer wins (using phone/camera for content—no advanced design skills required).
• Support ad-hoc business tasks as the company grows (e.g., supplier queries or basic quote admin).
