Job description

Anywhere in the Philippines | Remote/WFH | Night Shift (9:00 PM/10:00 PM - 6:00 AM/7:00 AM PH Time) | Monday to Friday

You own commercial plumbing estimating, technical plan reviews, fixture schedules, and procurement coordination for a U.S.-based trade contractor. Your work turns architectural drawings, mechanical prints, and client specifications into accurate material takeoffs, bid proposals, and submittals.

This is not a general administrative or broad CAD role. You operate directly within U.S. commercial plumbing scopes - analyzing drawings, preparing digital takeoffs in Excel, managing RFIs, and tracking material lead times. Best suited for engineering professionals who thrive on technical precision, work independently, and take accountability for accuracy under U.S. construction standards.

YOU'RE LIKELY A STRONG FIT IF YOU HAVE

• 3+ years of experience estimating commercial plumbing construction projects
• Hands-on proficiency with U.S. construction drawings, digital takeoff software, AutoCAD or Revit, and Excel reporting
• Direct experience generating plumbing material/labor takeoffs, submittal packages, fixture schedules, and RFIs
• Proven exposure operating under U.S. commercial plumbing systems, specs, or UPC/jurisdictional standards
• Reliable home office setup and willingness to work permanent U.S. night shift hours

STRONG SIGNALS

• Degree in Mechanical Engineering or related discipline
• Direct experience with U.S. commercial tenant improvements, restaurant/hospitality builds, or condo repipes
• Familiarity with Uniform Plumbing Code (UPC) and Washington State plumbing requirements
• Background working directly for U.S.-based commercial plumbing contractors

RESPONSIBILITY PILLARS

• You own the accuracy of project cost models, ensuring all plumbing scopes are quantified correctly before bids are submitted.
• Perform detailed plumbing material and labor takeoffs from architectural and mechanical drawings
• Prepare bid proposals, cost estimates, and change order pricing
• Identify drawing discrepancies, missing information, and potential cost impacts
• You own the translation of design documents into actionable construction schedules and submittal packages.
• Prepare and maintain plumbing fixture, equipment schedules, and isometric/overlay detail drawings
• Develop and track product submittals, RFIs, and project closeout documentation
• Coordinate with suppliers to verify material pricing, lead times, and deliveries

ABOUT THE CLIENT

A U.S.-based commercial plumbing contractor provides specialized tenant improvement, repiping, and mechanical construction services across the greater Seattle area. Known for technical execution on specialized commercial and facility projects, offshore engineering team members operate with defined scopes, direct plan reviews, and structured project handoffs.
