About the Role
Mr. Glazier Group is hiring a highly accountable Procurement & Estimating Manager to own the complete process from receiving project documents through estimating, purchasing, and confirmed delivery.

Prepare accurate material takeoffs and hardware/glass quantities
Identify missing engineering or architectural information before pricing
