About RCI Adventure Products

At RCI Adventure Products, we’re in the business of bringing fun to the world. We design and build one-of-a-kind adventure attractions that thrill guests and help businesses win. Our team is full of passionate, driven, and creative people who love what they do (and who they do it with). We work hard, laugh harder, and take pride in building something awesome together. If you’re looking for a place where your ideas matter, your skills are valued, and your work creates unforgettable experiences for people worldwide, this is it.

What you’ll do:

We’re looking for a detail-loving, solution-driven Quoting Engineer to help bring our custom amusement attractions to life. You’ll be the bridge between customer dreams and buildable, costed-out proposals, working closely with sales, engineering, design, and project management to make it all happen.

Your day-to-day will include:

• Reviewing customer requests, drawings, and specs to figure out the scope and feasibility
• Collaborating with engineering on custom modifications to our standard products
• Crunching numbers for materials, labor, subs, and overhead to create accurate quotes
• Writing and delivering polished proposals, estimates, and contracts that protect margins
• Keeping cost databases and pricing tools fresh and consistent
• Partnering with Sales, Engineering, Manufacturing, and Project Management for smooth pre-sale handoffs
• Learning from past projects to refine estimating accuracy
• Spotting risks, scope gaps, or special needs before they become problems
• Supporting change orders during project execution
• Finding ways to make our quoting process faster, smarter, and more profitable

This description reflects management’s assignment of essential functions; it does not prescribe or restrict the tasks that may be assigned.

What we’re looking for:

• Associate’s or Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Manufacturing Technology, or related field (or equivalent hands-on experience)
• 2+ years in quoting, estimating, or technical sales support—ideally in fabrication, custom equipment, or amusement industry
• Solid understanding of materials, manufacturing methods, fabrication drawings, and production timelines
• Proficient in Excel and estimating software (ERP/quoting platform experience = bonus points)
• Skilled at reading mechanical drawings, BOMs, and technical specs
• Sharp analytical skills with serious attention to detail
• Strong communicator and team player who thrives in cross-functional settings
• (Nice to have) Experience with themed attractions, amusement rides, or entertainment equipment
• (Nice to have) CAD familiarity—SolidWorks/AutoCAD
• (Nice to have) Knowledge of OSHA, ASTM, or amusement safety standards
• (Nice to have) Cost control or margin analysis background
