MEP Estimator

Senior Commercial MEP Estimator

Lead Winning Projects. Drive Growth. Build Your Career.

Are you an experienced Commercial MEP Estimator ready for the next step in your career? If you're looking for a role where your expertise influences company growth-not just bid numbers-this could be the opportunity you've been waiting for.

We're partnering with a well-established, fast-growing mechanical contractor with a strong reputation for delivering high-quality commercial projects. With a healthy backlog and a robust pipeline of upcoming work, they're looking for a Senior Estimator who wants to make an impact and grow into a leadership role.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• Join a financially stable contractor with a strong pipeline of commercial projects.
• Work directly with company leadership and play a key role in preconstruction strategy.
• Estimate a wide variety of commercial MEP projects, including healthcare, education, industrial, multifamily, and tenant improvements.
• Collaborative culture where estimating, operations, and project management work together to win profitable work.
• Long-term career advancement with the potential to lead and grow the estimating department.
• Competitive compensation, comprehensive benefits, and a company that values your expertise.

What You'll Do

• Prepare accurate, competitive estimates for commercial MEP construction projects from conceptual budgeting through final bid submission.
• Review drawings, specifications, and contract documents to develop complete material, labor, equipment, and subcontractor pricing.
• Perform quantity takeoffs and analyze project scope to identify risks, cost-saving opportunities, and value engineering solutions.
• Solicit, evaluate, and negotiate vendor and subcontractor pricing to develop the most competitive proposals.
• Participate in bid reviews, project handoffs, and preconstruction meetings to ensure a smooth transition from estimating to operations.
• Manage multiple bids simultaneously while meeting deadlines and maintaining exceptional accuracy.
• Build strong relationships with general contractors, owners, engineers, architects, suppliers, and subcontractors.

What We're Looking For

• 5+ years of commercial MEP estimating experience.
• Strong knowledge of mechanical systems, including HVAC, plumbing, piping, and related building systems.
• Ability to interpret construction drawings, specifications, and contract documents.
• Experience preparing conceptual budgets, hard bids, negotiated work, and design-build estimates.
• Excellent organizational, analytical, and communication skills.
• Proficiency with estimating software, Bluebeam, Microsoft Excel, and other construction management tools.
• Self-motivated professional who enjoys collaborating, solving problems, and contributing to company success.

Take the Next Step

If you're looking for a position where you'll do more than prepare estimates-where you'll help shape strategy, influence company growth, and build long-term relationships-this is an opportunity worth exploring.
