  • Develop and maintain unit cost data, bid templates, and pricing libraries.
  • Collaborate with project managers to ensure estimates align with field conditions and production rates.
  • Participate in project handoff meetings to ensure a smooth transition from estimating to execution.
  • Identify cost-saving opportunities and value-engineering options.
  • Track and analyze project performance to refine future estimates.
  • Support pre-construction and budgeting efforts for design-build projects.
  • Embrace technology and innovation — including AI-based tools and estimating platforms — to increase accuracy, speed, and collaboration across teams.

• What We Offer:

  • Competitive Pay: Starting salary in the range of $60,000 - $85,000 based on experience.
  • Great Benefits: Comprehensive health, dental and vision insurance
  • Time Off: Generous paid vacation and paid holidays

• What You Bring:
• • 3+ years of estimating experience in commercial HVAC and/or plumbing required.
  • Strong knowledge of mechanical systems, ductwork, piping, and construction drawings.
  • Ability to read and interpret blueprints, schematics, and specifications.
  • Proficiency with estimating software (e.g., Trimble, Bluebeam, FastPIPE/FastDUCT, or similar).
  • Comfort with technology and a willingness to adopt new tools , including AI-driven systems that enhance accuracy and workflow efficiency.
  • Excellent attention to detail and organizational skills.
  • Strong communication and collaboration skills.
  • Ability to balance multiple bids and deadlines in a fast-paced environment.
