About the Role

Description

Babbitting Service, Inc. is a leader in industrial babbitt bearing manufacturing and repair. We support customers who maintain and repair critical rotating equipment—such as turbines, industrial pumps, compressors, and related machinery—where downtime is costly and turnaround matters. In addition to babbitt bearing repair, our Industrial Repair Services include inspection and evaluation, fitting/assembly, and related work on industrial components. Our Repair Services work is high-mix and often time-sensitive, requiring strong manufacturing judgment, attention to detail, and clear documentation.


This is an onsite, first shift position, Monday - Friday, 7:30am - 4:00 pm.


As our Inside Sales / Estimator, you will quote and plan work, create job routing/travelers, and follow your assigned orders from initial inquiry through final shipment—while building strong working relationships with customers throughout the process.

 

1) Quote & Plan:  Review customer-provided information (drawings when available, photos, inspection results, job history, and specifications) to develop accurate cost estimates and create clear job routings/travelers.


2) Job Planning:  Create logical process routings outlining manufacturing steps from receipt through final inspection and shipment.


3) Customer Relationships & Communication:  Build strong working relationships with customer contacts while serving as the primary point of contact for the Repair Services orders assigned to you. Provide clear, proactive updates on scope, findings, lead times, and shipment, and ensure requirements are confirmed in writing.


4) Problem Solve:  When information is incomplete, use job history and available documentation to clarify scope and build accurate quotes and routings.


5) Process Ownership:  Own the jobs assigned to you and drive them forward with urgency, attention to detail, and coordination across internal departments to ensure all requirements are understood and met

  • Working familiarity with common dimensional inspection tools (OD micrometers, ID micrometers, dial and vernier calipers) and an understanding of how critical dimensions are measured and verified.
