Mechanical Estimator – Data Centers / Mission Critical
Build the Infrastructure Behind the Next Generation of Data Centers
We are looking for an experienced Mechanical Estimator to support large-scale data center and mission-critical construction projects.
This is an opportunity for an estimator who understands how major mechanical systems actually come together in the field—from chilled-water and mechanical piping to pumps, equipment, valves, supports, insulation, and associated infrastructure.
Why This Opportunity?
Location: Remote
Pay: up to $57 per hour DOE
Benefits Offered: Medical, dental, vision.
Data center construction is one of the fastest-growing areas of the construction industry, and mechanical infrastructure is critical to keeping these facilities operational.
You’ll be part of a team that brings estimating, engineering, procurement, and construction together to develop solutions that can actually be built.
What You'll Do
- Develop conceptual and detailed estimates for mechanical scopes on data center and mission-critical projects
- Perform quantity takeoffs from drawings, specifications, equipment schedules, and BIM/model information
- Estimate chilled-water piping, hydronic systems, mechanical/process piping, pumps, valves, fittings, supports, insulation, and mechanical equipment
- Develop labor hours, productivity assumptions, material pricing, equipment costs, indirect costs, and field requirements
- Obtain and evaluate pricing from suppliers, equipment vendors, fabricators, and subcontractors
- Review drawings and specifications for scope gaps, constructability concerns, conflicts, exclusions, and project risks
- Prepare estimate assumptions, clarifications, exclusions, and scope documentation
- Participate in bid reviews, scope reconciliation, value analysis, constructability reviews, and preconstruction meetings
- Evaluate site logistics, project schedules, labor availability, productivity, material handling, and other project-specific cost drivers
- Coordinate mechanical estimates with civil/structural, electrical, instrumentation and controls, engineering, procurement, and construction teams
- Identify opportunities for prefabrication, modularization, and spool fabrication to improve cost, schedule, quality, and field productivity
- Assist with procurement strategies for long-lead mechanical equipment and critical materials
- Support project handoff after award to ensure the operations team understands the estimate, quantities, assumptions, and execution strategy
What We're Looking For
- 5+ years of mechanical estimating experience in industrial, commercial, mission-critical, or large-scale data center construction
- Strong experience estimating mechanical piping systems and equipment
- Knowledge of piping materials, valves, fittings, supports, insulation, equipment installation, and fabrication
- Experience performing detailed quantity takeoffs and developing labor and material pricing
- Understanding of construction means and methods, labor productivity, field execution, equipment requirements, and indirect costs
- Ability to read and interpret mechanical drawings, P&IDs, specifications, equipment schedules, and construction documents
- Experience obtaining and evaluating vendor and subcontractor quotations
- Strong Excel and estimating software skills
- Strong communication and organizational skills
Pay: $55.00 - $57.00 per hour
Benefits:
- Dental insurance
- Health insurance
- Vision insurance
Work Location: Remote
