Build the systems behind better estimates.

Interstates is seeking an Accubid Anywhere Systems & Database Manager to own and improve the systems, data, and workflows that support estimating and project delivery across the organization.

This is more than a database administration role. You’ll serve as an Accubid Anywhere subject-matter expert, database governance owner, process improvement leader, trainer, and trusted partner to estimating and project teams. Your work will help Interstates create more accurate estimates, improve project setup, and deliver quality work more efficiently.

If you enjoy solving complex problems, improving systems, supporting people, and creating reliable tools that make work better, this role offers meaningful ownership and visible impact.

Important: This position requires at least two years of hands-on Accubid Anywhere experience, including creating and adjusting assemblies, creating reports, and supporting project setup.

Why This Role Matters

Estimating teams depend on accurate, organized, and accessible information. In this role, you’ll help establish the standards, content, and workflows that enable teams across Interstates to estimate with greater confidence and consistency.

You’ll also play a key role in the transition from Accubid Classic to Accubid Anywhere and help shape how estimating technology is used across the organization.

What You’ll Do

Own and improve Accubid Anywhere

• Serve as the primary owner of Accubid Anywhere database content, accuracy, standards, and ongoing development.

• Lead the transition from Accubid Classic to Accubid Anywhere, including database migration, validation, and standardization.

• Expand, organize, and maintain pre-built database content and assemblies.

• Create and adjust assemblies to support estimating and project delivery needs.

• Create reports and support project setup.

• Establish and maintain database standards, naming conventions, documentation, and change management practices.

• Collaborate with manufacturing teams to integrate products into the database.

• Ensure database content remains accurate, efficient, scalable, and easy for end users to navigate.

Support estimating and project teams

• Serve as the primary technical resource for Accubid Anywhere database-related questions and issues.

• Provide troubleshooting and day-to-day support to estimators, project managers, and other stakeholders.

• Facilitate training and help users effectively adopt Accubid Anywhere tools, standards, and workflows.

• Assist with project estimating and other estimating-related activities as capacity and business needs allow.

• Translate user and project needs into practical database and workflow solutions.

Lead cross-functional improvement

• Identify systemic risks, process gaps, and improvement opportunities within estimating workflows.

• Recommend and implement changes that improve the reliability, efficiency, and scalability of estimating practices.

• Partner with estimators, project managers, manufacturing, operations, and leadership to support business needs.

• Lead cross-functional initiatives and influence stakeholders across departments, roles, and locations without direct supervisory authority.

• Promote consistent processes, data integrity, and continuous improvement across the organization.
