A bit about us:

An established, growth-oriented mechanical contractor delivering complex commercial and industrial projects is seeking an Estimator to prepare accurate, competitive bids for HVAC and process piping scopes. You’ll partner closely with preconstruction, engineering/BIM/VDC, and operations to develop winning proposals and ensure a smooth turnover to project delivery.

Why join us?

Competitive base salary (see pay transparency note below) + annual bonus eligibility.
Comprehensive medical, dental, vision, 401(k) with match, paid time off and company holidays.
Tools & development: industry training (e.g., MCAA/ASPE), modern software stack (Bluebeam, takeoff/estimating tools), and professional growth opportunities.
Supportive culture focused on safety, quality, and client satisfaction

Job Details

What You’ll Do

Estimate mechanical scopes—perform detailed takeoffs (sheet metal and piping), review plans/specs/addenda, and develop labor, material, equipment, and subcontractor pricing.
Build complete proposals—assemble scope letters with clear inclusions/exclusions, alternates, and clarifications; prepare bid forms and breakout pricing.
Coordinate vendors & subs—solicit quotes, compare proposals, vet scope coverage, and cultivate competitive pricing.
Engage in pre-bid activities—attend walkthroughs, RFIs, and strategy meetings; identify risks, logistics constraints, and value-engineering options.
Collaborate cross-functionally—work with BIM/VDC, fabrication/pre-fab, and operations to validate constructability, phasing, and labor planning.
Handoff for execution—lead an organized turnover to project management; support estimate-to-budget alignment and early buyout.
Improve the system—maintain historical cost data; recommend process enhancements, productivity factors, and market benchmarks.

What You’ll Bring

3–7+ years of mechanical estimating for a mechanical contractor (HVAC/piping focus).
Ability to interpret plans/specs for commercial, healthcare, education, government, light industrial, and lab/clean environments.
Proficiency with Bluebeam and Excel; experience with estimating platforms (e.g., FastPIPE/FastDUCT, Trimble/Accubid, QuoteSoft) is a plus.
Familiarity with labor units and standards (e.g., MCAA/SMACNA), and a working knowledge of relevant codes and typical mechanical systems.
Clear, professional communication; strong organization; deadline discipline; collaborative mindset.
Nice-to-have: exposure to design-assist/design-build, pre-fabrication, service estimating, and BIM/VDC coordination.
