Senior Mechanical Estimator – HVAC & Piping
We are seeking an experienced Mechanical Estimator with a strong background in HVAC and mechanical piping to join our team in Phoenix, Arizona.
The ideal candidate will have proven experience estimating commercial, industrial, or large-scale mechanical construction projects and be comfortable developing accurate, competitive estimates for projects valued at up to $50 million.
This is an excellent opportunity for an estimator who understands mechanical construction from both a technical and commercial perspective and wants to play a key role in winning major projects.
Key Responsibilities- Prepare detailed estimates for HVAC, mechanical piping, and related mechanical systems.
- Review drawings, specifications, bid documents, and project requirements.
- Perform quantity takeoffs for equipment, ductwork, piping, insulation, fittings, valves, and other mechanical materials.
- Develop accurate labor, material, equipment, subcontractor, and overall project cost estimates.
- Prepare estimates for projects ranging from smaller commercial work to projects valued at $50 million or more.
- Solicit and evaluate pricing from vendors, subcontractors, and suppliers.
- Analyze subcontractor and supplier proposals for scope, exclusions, and pricing accuracy.
- Identify potential risks, scope gaps, and cost-saving opportunities.
- Develop detailed bid proposals and supporting documentation.
- Work closely with project managers, engineers, vendors, and operations teams during the estimating and preconstruction process.
- Participate in bid reviews and turnover meetings.
