We are seeking an HVAC Estimator who will play a key role in pursuit of projects across different market verticals. This role supports both plan-spec and design-build opportunities, working closely with our design, project development, purchasing, and construction teams from the initial review through project turnover.

Responsibilities

Develop labor, material, equipment, and subcontractor costs for complete project estimates. Review drawings, specifications, and bid documents to define HVAC scope and identify gaps, risks, and opportunities. Perform quantity takeoffs for equipment, ductwork, piping, insulation, controls, and related HVAC components. Solicit and evaluate vendor and subcontractor proposals, confirming scope coverage and qualifications.

Prepare bid clarifications, exclusions, alternates, and value engineering options. Collaborate with the internal design team to price conceptual and design-build solutions as they develop. Participate in bid reviews and help establish pricing strategy with preconstruction leadership. Coordinate with Project Managers and field leaders to validate labor assumptions and construction approaches.
