As a Residential HVAC and Plumbing Estimator, you will prepare detailed estimates for custom home construction projects by reviewing architectural plans, blueprints, specifications, and project documents. You will evaluate plumbing, HVAC, and mechanical system requirements, perform quantity takeoffs, develop competitive pricing, prepare proposals, and recommend practical solutions that align with project goals and budgets.

You will work closely with builders, developers, homeowners, vendors, and internal teams throughout the preconstruction process to answer questions, review project scope, coordinate design considerations, and ensure estimates accurately reflect labor, materials, equipment, and installation requirements. You will also assist with ductwork layout evaluations, identify value engineering opportunities, manage estimate revisions, track project changes, and help transition awarded projects to the production team for a smooth handoff.

Your ability to balance technical accuracy, strong communication, and relationship management will play a critical role in supporting successful projects and continued company growth.

We're seeking candidates with experience estimating residential HVAC, plumbing, mechanical systems, or related construction projects. Previous experience with custom homes or residential new construction is strongly preferred.

Successful candidates should be comfortable reading blueprints, specifications, and construction documents while preparing detailed estimates, proposals, and bid packages. A strong understanding of residential plumbing systems, HVAC equipment, ductwork design, construction methods, and mechanical installations is essential.

Experience using estimating software, spreadsheets, and construction technology platforms is preferred. Strong analytical abilities, mathematical aptitude, attention to detail, and organizational skills are critical for success in this role.

We're looking for professionals who communicate effectively, build strong relationships with builders and customers, take ownership of their work, and enjoy collaborating with operations and project management teams to deliver exceptional results.

A valid driver's license with an acceptable driving record is required.

If you're an experienced mechanical estimator who enjoys working on custom residential construction projects and wants to join a company known for quality workmanship, strong builder relationships, and long-term career opportunities, Precision Plumbing and Heating Systems offers an outstanding place to grow.
