Job Title: CNC Estimator/Planner ** ** Worksite Location: Akron, OH 44310 ** ** Number of Openings: 1 ** ** **SUBMIT RESUME BY EMAIL: ** [[email protected]]{rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"} ** ** Please put in the subject line "CNC Estimator/Planner" ** ** About Ace Precision Industries and Boulden Company Ace Precision Industries is a machine shop in Akron, OH, operating under the Boulden Company, an industrials platform that manufactures and repairs bearings and wear materials for reciprocating and rotational equipment in the petrochemical and oil & gas markets. Ace Precision runs CNC precision mills, lathes, multi-axis turn-mill centers, horizontal and vertical machining centers, wire EDM, and CNC grinding, alongside general job-shop / contract machining and light assembly. Much of the work is aligned to Boulden's product line --- reciprocating and rotating components such as labyrinth seals, tilt-pad and wear bearings, and related precision parts --- manufactured new or re-run from prior jobs. Boulden is growing by acquisition and standardizing operations and systems across its sites as it integrates. This role sits inside that effort: it owns the front end of every job --- the quote --- and helps put estimating and production planning onto common, documented, repeatable processes as the platform scales. Why this role exists Every job starts with a quote, and Ace's ability to win the right work at the right margin depends on getting RFQs back to customers fast, accurately, and consistently. This role exists to own that front end: to turn customer RFQs --- for new parts and for previously manufactured products --- into timely, defensible estimates grounded in the shop's real machines, cycle times, and cost. Today too much of the estimating logic lives in people's heads. This role puts a single owner on RFQ responsiveness and estimating discipline, documents how estimates get built, and carries that ownership downstream into production planning --- turning won quotes into scheduled, sequenced work that reflects the shop's real capacity. The mandate --- first 12 months Three priorities, in order: • RFQ response & turnaround. Become the single point of ownership for customer RFQs --- new and repeat work. Turn quotes around on time (target 24 hours), keep the RFQ queue visible, and follow up with the Boulden sales team to convert quotes to orders. •[ Estimating accuracy & margin.
