Solicit and evaluate subcontractor and vendor quotations; negotiate pricing and ensure compliance with bid requirements.
Lead value engineering efforts and recommend cost-saving alternatives while maintaining code compliance and design intent.
Prepare and present bid summaries, assumptions, risk registers and recommendation reports to senior leadership and project teams.
Coordinate with project managers, engineers and field personnel to validate estimating assumptions and ensure smooth project handover at award.
Attend pre-bid meetings, site visits and walkthroughs to verify conditions and gather information for accurate pricing.

Deep technical knowledge of mechanical systems, materials, installation methods, codes and testing requirements.
Proven skills in preparing competitive bids, cost analyses, and clear, well-documented estimate assumptions.
Excellent reading and interpretation of construction drawings and specifications, including MEP coordination plans.
Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Excel for pricing models, assemblies and reporting.
Strong negotiation, communication and organizational skills; ability to collaborate across disciplines and manage competing deadlines.
Demonstrated ability to mentor less-experienced staff and to conduct thorough QA/QC of estimates.
Post-secondary diploma or degree in Construction Management, Mechanical Engineering Technology or a related discipline, or equivalent combination of education and experience.
Willingness to attend site visits and pre-bid meetings; valid drivers license and ability to travel as required.
