Lighting Quotations Associate

A US-based manufacturers’ representative firm in the lighting industry is hiring a Lighting Quotations Associate to turn project specs and customer requests into accurate, timely quotes.

About the role

You will sit at the center of the quoting process, working between customers, the field sales team, and the manufacturers the company represents. Most days involve reading fixture schedules and specs, sourcing pricing and lead times, and keeping a steady flow of quotes going out across many open projects at once. Success looks like quotes that are accurate and on time, and a pipeline that never stalls because something is sitting unanswered in your inbox.

Experience preparing quotations, or supporting sales, in the lighting, electrical, or a related technical field
Ability to read and interpret fixture schedules, project specs, and technical product data
Strong working skills with spreadsheets and business software for building and tracking quotes
Proven ability to handle heavy daily email volume and several projects with overlapping due dates
Clear, professional written and verbal English for daily communication with customers, sales reps, and manufacturers

Preferred Qualifications

Direct experience in the lighting industry
Experience cross-referencing equivalent or substitute products between manufacturers
Exposure to commercial and residential projects, including hospitality work

Responsibilities

Build lighting quotes from fixture schedules, project specs, and customer asks
Find equivalent products within the represented manufacturer lines when a specified item needs an alternative
Go back and forth with manufacturers to confirm pricing, lead times, stock status, and product details
Stay on top of a busy inbox and decide what gets done first when several deadlines land together
Follow up on open quotes alongside customers and the field sales team so projects reach a decision

Working arrangement

Remote position supporting a US-based team, its field sales reps, and its customers.

Who thrives in this role

Detail-obsessed, the kind of person who double-checks a part number before it goes out
Calm and organized when ten projects need something on the same afternoon
Comfortable chasing a missing price with a quick call or a short, clear email
Enjoys learning product lines deeply and becoming the go-to person for alternatives
Takes ownership of a quote from first request to final follow-up
