The Estimator is responsible for preparing accurate and competitive cost estimates for mechanical construction projects, including plumbing, piping, and/or sheet metal systems. This role supports plan/spec, design-assist, and design-build projects and may independently estimate medium to large-scale work. The Estimator partners closely with internal teams, subcontractors, and vendors to develop complete, well-documented proposals that support project success from bid through completion.

Responsibilities:

Review project plans, specifications, drawings, and related documents to determine full scope of work.

Perform detailed quantity takeoffs, including labor, materials, equipment, and resources required.

Develop complete and accurate project cost estimates for mechanical construction projects.

Analyze blueprints and documentation to prepare time, cost, materials, and labor estimates.

Prepare bids and proposals for current and prospective customers.

Evaluate design options and recommend cost-effective solutions based on engineering quality, constructability, and material availability.

Obtain and evaluate quotes from subcontractors and vendors to ensure alignment with scope and specifications.

Assess cost effectiveness by comparing estimated costs to actual project performance as work progresses.

Prepare cost and expenditure reports throughout the duration of projects.

Establish and maintain cost monitoring and reporting systems.

Review labor and material requirements to determine the most efficient and economical outcomes.
