  • Participate in bid reviews, pricing strategy discussions, and post-bid negotiations.
  • Prepare proposals, qualifications, exclusions, and estimate documentation.

Project Support
  • Participate in project turnover meetings and communicate estimating assumptions, risks, vendor coverage, and procurement considerations.
  • Assist with equipment buyout, subcontractor selection, and change order pricing as needed.
  • Compare estimated versus actual costs and incorporate lessons learned into future estimates.

Qualifications
  • 5+ years of commercial HVAC or mechanical estimating experience.
  • Strong knowledge of commercial HVAC systems, piping, ductwork, controls, and mechanical construction.
  • Ability to interpret construction drawings, specifications, schedules, and contract documents.
  • Experience preparing detailed quantity takeoffs and labor, material, and equipment estimates.
  • Understanding of labor productivity, project scheduling, procurement, and construction cost structures.
  • Strong analytical, organizational, communication, and negotiation skills.
