Who We Are:

American Repair Maintenance (ARM) began over 30 years ago as a small two-person operation to service several premier video stores. Since that time, we have evolved into a data-driven, full-service repair, and preventative maintenance partner across all trades serving over 20,000 locations in the US of some of the finest retail brands. We are more than just a repair and maintenance company. We are a strategic partner for our clients as we continue to innovate and grow our organization. We work hard to put our customers' needs first, support our team members with a dynamic culture, provide great benefits, and create technology-enabled work processes that make their jobs easier. We know that our strong commitment to people is what sets us apart along with our strong core values that guide our day-to-day operations. These core values ensure we are moving in the right direction. They are:

• Momentum Together: Keep showing up. Keep growing. Keep going.

Who You Are:

We are currently searching for a Pricing Specialist, reporting to our Technical Service Supervisor, to add to our service delivery team and deliver the highest standard of pricing, cost estimation, and material sourcing. This is a perfect opportunity for a self-starter who strives to resolve issues in creative ways, is detail-oriented, reliable, able to collaborate with their team, and enjoys being part of a supportive, growing company.

In this role, you will be able to jump in and make an immediate impact. Specifically, you will:

• Prepare detailed, accurate, and competitive cost estimates and quotes for commercial maintenance and construction projects by reviewing project plans, specifications, field technician reports, site photos, and related documentation
• Identify and quantify labor, material, equipment, and subcontractor costs for each project, ensuring pricing is accurate, competitive, and aligned with ARM's margin and service objectives
• Source and secure competitive material pricing across a variety of trades — including hardware, flooring, masonry, doors, locks, and plumbing — in support of estimating and service delivery operations
• Develop and maintain strong relationships with suppliers and subcontractors to ensure pricing diversification and ongoing cost savings; identify new suppliers through market research, referrals, and networking
• Maintain supplier scorecards and an updated database of costs, suppliers, and subcontractors to support accurate pricing and sound sourcing decisions
• Develop, write, and assemble detailed proposals tailored to each client's job requirements, ensuring they are professionally presented, compliant with RFP/RFQ requirements, and submitted on time
• Field and process on-site scope adjustments and pricing increase requests for active work orders, communicating clearly to internal teams and stakeholders
• Track and analyze bid results, pricing trends, and win rates; analyze project and supply chain risks and provide value engineering and cost mitigation solutions to optimize pricing without compromising quality or scope
• Update internal and client portals with accurate, timely pricing communications and documentation; resolve pricing discrepancies with suppliers and vendors professionally while maintaining organized records of all pricing, purchases, and contracts

Qualifications:

• 3+ years of experience in estimating, pricing, purchasing, or procurement role within construction or facilities maintenance, with demonstrated responsibility for developing cost estimates and managing supplier pricing
• Strong understanding of cost estimating fundamentals, procurement processes, and supplier sourcing, including the ability to review and interpret project plans, specifications, field reports, and site photos
• Demonstrated ability to produce accurate, detailed cost estimates across labor, materials, equipment, and subcontractor scopes
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills with the ability to develop clear, professional, client-ready proposals
• Strong organizational skills with the ability to manage a high volume of active estimates, quotes, and supplier communications simultaneously
• Proficient in Microsoft Office Suite (with intermediate Excel experience); able to learn and navigate estimating, procurement, ERP, work order management, or client portal platforms
• High School Diploma or GED required; Associate's or Bachelor's degree in Construction Management, Business Administration, Supply Chain Management, Engineering, or a related field preferred

What You'll Bring:

• A detail-oriented, self-starting approach — you take ownership of your estimates, quotes, and proposals from start to finish
• Creative problem-solving skills — you find practical, cost-effective solutions when project scopes and supply chains get complex
• Strong written communication skills, with the ability to produce clear, professional proposals tailored to client requirements
• A collaborative spirit — you work well with service delivery, field operations, technical, and client teams to keep operations running competitively and profitably
• Strong supplier relationship skills — you build trust-based partnerships and drive continuous improvement in quality, cost, and reliability
• Reliability and accountability in meeting deadlines, especially on time-sensitive bids, RFP/RFQ submissions, and procurement timelines

What You'll Get:

Besides working with a great team in a stable and fast-growing company, you'll receive a competitive salary, along with:

• Competitive medical, dental, and vision insurance
