About The Position

At Wausau Homes, we help builders deliver dream homes—on time, on budget, and to exacting standards. Our Materials team is the backbone of that promise, ensuring every home gets the right parts and finishes when they’re needed.

We’re looking for a detail-driven, construction-savvy professional who knows the ins and outs of residential finish materials. If you can calculate siding quantities in your sleep, spot a blueprint error from across the table, and speak the language of builders and installers, you might be exactly who we need.

In this role, you’ll:

Support builders by handling material estimates, warranty inquiries, and shortage claims
Create precise material orders for interior and exterior finishes using our ERP system
Troubleshoot issues and work directly with builders, vendors, and our internal teams
Review blueprints and translate them into accurate, cost-effective material lists

Requirements

• Solid construction knowledge—especially finish materials (doors, trim, cabinetry, siding, etc.)
• Ability to read and understand blueprints
• Experience with material estimating in residential construction
• Strong problem-solving skills and a knack for keeping projects on track
• Associate degree or 2–5 years’ experience in estimating, construction materials, or a related role
• Proficiency with Microsoft Excel and familiarity with ERP systems
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced, collaborative environment

Nice To Haves

• Bonus points if you’ve installed finish materials yourself—hands-on experience goes a long way here!

Responsibilities

Benefits

• Be part of a company that values accuracy, craftsmanship, and relationships
• Work with a team who understands construction from the ground up
• Competitive pay, benefits, and a positive work environment
• Belonging – We create safe, open forums where everyone’s voice matters.
• Connection – Strong relationships across our teams and organization are the foundation of our success.
• Engagement – Through events, activities, and recognition, we keep our culture vibrant and inclusive.
• Well-being – Your health and personal growth matter here—because we care.
