Full Time Overhead Mountlake Terrace, WA, US

9 days ago Requisition

Salary Range: $ To $ Annually

Fischer Services is hiring an accomplished Washington-licensed plumbing professional to grow and lead our large-project business. This is an opportunity for someone who knows Washington plumbing codes and local requirements, can recognize a strong project, build an accurate scope and estimate, earn the customer's confidence, close the work, and stay engaged until the project is completed successfully.

This is not routine service sales-and it is not a sell-it-and-hand-it-off role. You will pursue substantial residential, multifamily, and commercial plumbing opportunities, then partner closely with field and operational leadership to keep the sold scope, budget, schedule, quality, and customer expectations on track.

Whole-home and multifamily repipes

Major sewer and water-service replacements

Substantial remodels and plumbing-system upgrades

Commercial plumbing and mechanical contracting opportunities

Other complex, high-value projects requiring detailed planning and coordination

Develop a healthy pipeline through existing customers, referrals, property managers, general contractors, building owners, developers, facility managers, and industry relationships.

Conduct detailed job walks; evaluate existing conditions, access, code requirements, constructability, schedule, customer expectations, and project risk.

Create complete scopes of work, material and labor takeoffs, budgets, estimates, pricing, assumptions, exclusions, contingencies, and customer proposals.

Present recommendations clearly, develop practical options, negotiate terms, and close profitable work without over promising or under pricing.

Partner with plumbing leadership and field teams to validate staffing, materials, sequencing, permitting, subcontractor needs, and operational capacity before commitment.

Lead the transition from sale to execution and remain actively involved in customer communication, scope clarification, scheduling, field coordination, change management, and issue resolution.

Monitor assigned projects against the sold scope, budget, and timeline; identify variances early and help coordinate corrective action.

Participate in project closeout, comparing estimated and actual labor, materials, schedule, margin, and customer outcomes to improve future estimating.

Track pipeline, proposals, close rate, projected revenue, backlog, gross margin, and project performance in company systems.

You combine plumbing credibility with commercial judgment. Customers trust your recommendations, field teams trust your scopes, and leaders trust your numbers. You ask the questions others miss, recognize risk before the company commits, follow through consistently, and take personal ownership of the outcome.

A current Washington State plumbing license and strong, current working knowledge of Washington State and applicable local plumbing codes are required.

Five or more years of directly related experience in plumbing project sales, estimating, project management, commercial plumbing, mechanical contracting, construction sales, or a closely related field.

A record of identifying, estimating, winning, and helping deliver larger plumbing projects profitably.
