Job Description

Shape complex quotes that keep turbines spinning and missions moving

Pioneer Motor Bearing Company is a fourth-generation family business dedicated to reliability. We support the nation’s power grid and help keep our military mission-ready. Pioneer delivers bearing engineering, manufacturing, and repair for large rotating equipment used primarily in power generation. Our PMB Machine Works division serves defense and aerospace with precision machined components.

A day in the life

Morning starts with a review of RFQs and drawings. You’ll clarify scope with Sales, identify missing details, and confirm assumptions. From there, you’ll :

  • Study customer BOMs, prints, GD&T, process specifications, and material specs; pull any missing sub-drawings from our files.
  • Collaborate with QA, Engineering, and Production to capture capability limits and call out exceptions that fall outside current processes.
  • Build Google Drive quote packages and create time estimates using setup and machining formulas aligned to our workflow.
  • Research historical performance in our ERP / CRM (Salesforce) to benchmark hours, lead times, and risks.
  • Engage vendors for validated pricing and lead times on materials; coordinate with outside manufacturers for services or parts we don’t produce.
  • Deliver accurate TVC, labor hours, and lead times to Sales—plus fast “ballpark” quotes when customer urgency demands it.

What success looks like

  • On-time, well-supported quotes that reflect real capacity and constraints.
  • Clear documentation of exceptions and complexity so Sales can set the proper labor rates.
  • Continuously refined estimates based on lessons learned from production and past jobs.
  • Schedule and location

    Regular shift : 8 : 00 a.m. – 5 : 00 p.m., Monday–Friday, at our Kings Mountain plant. This role is cross-trained to provide backup for Procurement when needed.

    What you bring

  • Self-driven prioritization and the ability to deliver quotes with minimal oversight.
  • Strong organization and leadership : manage time, documentation, and deadlines with precision.
  • Relationship skills across admin and manufacturing teams; crisp verbal and written communication.
  • Fluency reading drawings, blueprints, GD&T, process / material specs, and BOMs.
  • Working CAD capability for quick sketches to support quotations.
  • Practical machining knowledge : tolerances, manual and CNC processes, feeds / speeds, and efficient methods.
  • Technical grounding in fluid film bearings, rotating equipment, and bearing manufacturing / repair methods.
  • Toolset : Google Sheets (including formulas), Gmail, docs, virtual meetings, shared calendars; ERP / CRM (Salesforce).
  • Physical comfort moving through the plant and yard, including climbing stairs to inventory / drawing storage and navigating tight areas.
  • You’re proficient in

  • CNC Programming
  • ITAR Compliance
  • ISO 9001 Certification Experience
  • Manual Machining Skills
  • CAD / CAM Software
  • AS9100 Experience
  • How we work

    We operate in a dynamic service environment where teamwork and communication are essential. We hire for character, skill, and a growth mindset, and we foster a collaborative, creative culture where every person is encouraged to contribute to our processes, decisions, planning, and culture.

    Compensation and benefits

  • Overtime : All overtime hours are paid at 2x pay. Vacation and holiday hours count toward the calculation of overtime hours.
  • Medical : Three plan options; we pay 95% of employee premiums and contribute significantly toward family coverage.
  • HSA / FSA : HSA provided with $2,000 (individual) or $4,000 (dependent) company contribution; FSA options available.
  • Supplemental Health : Revive membership with zero-cost access to 1,000+ generic medications, free primary care telehealth, mental health support, health / wellness coaching, and access to discounted GLP‑1 weight-loss medications.
  • More Coverage : Dental, vision, life, disability, and 401(k) safe-harbor matching, plus additional ancillary benefits.
  • Vacation : 2.5 weeks for new employees, 3 weeks after 3 years, scaling up to 6 weeks.
  • Ready to grow with us?

    If you want to be valued for your expertise and impact, we’d love to hear from you. Apply today.
