Join a regional leader in sheet metal & duct fabrication that’s scaling fast and investing heavily in people, process, and tech. You’ll get hands-on mentorship, modern tools, and exposure to high-visibility commercial, healthcare, and campus builds across the Western U.S. (real work, not busywork).

No travel - In-house estimating. Growth path: clear steps to Senior Estimator or Project Management roles. Hands-on learning. Competitive pay + 100 % paid benefits;
Full package including PTO and 401(k) with 4% match.

• Own the fundamentals of takeoff on ductwork and accessories; read plans/specs, quantify materials & labor, and build clean estimate worksheets.
• Contribute to live bids with senior estimator review; assist in preparing scopes, alternates, and inclusions/exclusions.
• Partner with fabrication, PM, and field to validate production hours and logistics so estimates reflect how work really gets built.
• Use modern tools (Bluebeam + Excel; exposure to leading sheet-metal estimating platforms — we’ll train).

• Fabrication-first estimating: how shop standards, production rates, and installation logistics drive cost.
• How big projects move RFIs, VE options, and bid-day strategy with GCs/owners.
• Data hygiene & speed templates and assemblies that make your numbers trusted by operations.

• Advance from Estimator I → Estimator II → Senior Estimator, with options to specialize (healthcare/DSA/campus), mentor interns, or pivot into precon or PM.

• 0–2 years in construction (internships, shop/field time, design/drafting, or estimating all count) or a related degree/certificate (CM, ME/MEP, drafting, or welding/fab).
• Curiosity about how things are made; you reverse-engineer drawings and like tightening assumptions.
• Beginner proficiency with Bluebeam and Excel; exposure to any MEP/sheet-metal estimating tool is a plus.
• Clear, concise communication—and you’re not afraid to ask “why.”

• What you’ll learn here (as above)

• Management and Manufacturing

• Entry level

• Full-time

• Construction
• Building Construction
• Architecture and Planning
