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+.
