Coordinate quantity takeoffs and detailed pricing for labor, materials, equipment, and subcontracted work.
Lead value engineering and constructability reviews to improve competitiveness and project execution.
Identify scope gaps, exclusions, clarifications, and risk mitigation strategies.
Participate in bid reviews, client presentations, negotiations, and project award discussions.

Operational & Financial Collaboration

Partner closely with Operations, Project Management, and Field Leadership to ensure estimates align with execution capabilities and historical performance.
Support project turnover meetings and ensure seamless handoff from estimating to operations.
Track estimate performance versus actual project costs and drive continuous improvement through post-project analysis.
Assist leadership with forecasting, backlog planning, market analysis, and strategic growth initiatives.
Build and maintain subcontractor, supplier, and vendor relationships to ensure competitive pricing and market intelligence.

Client & Business Development Support

Support business development efforts by participating in client meetings, networking, and relationship management.
Assist in identifying target markets, project opportunities, and strategic pursuits.
Represent the company professionally with owners, general contractors, engineers, architects, and industry partners.

Qualifications

10+ years of estimating experience in mechanical contracting, HVAC, plumbing, piping, or industrial construction.
3+ years of leadership or management experience within an estimating or preconstruction team preferred.
Strong knowledge of mechanical systems, construction methods, labor productivity, and project execution.
Experience with design-build, negotiated, conceptual, and hard-bid estimating.

Strong understanding of construction contracts, project risk, and cost control principles.
Proficiency with estimating software, takeoff platforms, and Microsoft Office Suite.
Excellent leadership, communication, negotiation, and organizational skills.
Ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment.
