Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning Estimator

Overview

Review commercial construction plans and specifications for HVAC scope
Perform and/or review takeoffs (using an outside takeoff service on some jobs, and their own on others)
Select HVAC equipment and specialty air-movement products using manufacturer selection tools
Build quotes, estimates, bids, and proposal packages — supporting Outside Sales Engineers directly, eventually as a dedicated partner to two or three of them
Spot value-engineering opportunities and provide pricing/product guidance
Manage multiple concurrent bid deadlines without dropping a ball
Coordinate with vendors and internal teams on order entry, documentation, and project administration
Work primarily in Bluebeam and On-Screen Takeoff for plan review and takeoffs, Microsoft Office day to day, and manufacturer pricing/equipment-selection tools, with the team transitioning toward a dedicated rep order management platform.
Most of the current project mix is hotels and schools — the highest-volume estimators on this team complete upwards of 150+ bids a month, on projects that typically run $50,000–$120,000+.
