Industrial Piping & Welding is hiring an experienced estimator who can independently manage bids for industrial piping, shop fabrication, and field installation projects.

Serving the Intermountain West since 1996, IPW is looking for someone who understands how piping work gets built and can turn drawings, specifications, and project requirements into complete, accurate, competitive estimates.

What You’ll Do

• Review drawings, specifications, and site conditions to define scope and identify missing information.
• Complete detailed takeoffs and estimate materials, shop and field labor, equipment, and subcontractor costs.
• Obtain and evaluate supplier and subcontractor quotes.
• Coordinate with shop and field leaders to confirm productivity, construction methods, and schedules.
• Prepare clear proposals documenting inclusions, exclusions, assumptions, and project risks.
• Present estimates for final review, meet bid deadlines, and transfer awarded estimates to project teams.
• Review actual project costs to improve future estimates.

What We’re Looking For

• Proven ability to independently estimate industrial piping or mechanical construction projects.
• Preferably 5+ years of relevant estimating experience; demonstrated capability matters more than years alone.
• Strong knowledge of piping materials, welding processes, shop fabrication, and field installation.
• Ability to interpret piping drawings, isometrics, specifications, and bid requirements.
• Proficiency in Excel and construction estimating software. IPW uses Sage 100; experience with Sage 100 is preferred.
• Strong attention to detail and ownership of accuracy, deadlines, and follow-through.
• Clear communication with vendors, customers, and project teams.
• Field or fabrication shop experience is a plus.
• Company-paid health, dental, and vision premiums for employees and their families after 90 days.
• 401(k) with a dollar-for-dollar company match up to 5% of salary and immediate vesting.
• Company-paid life and short-term disability insurance.
• Paid Holidays and Vacation.
• Flexible spending accounts and a $300 annual allowance for approved FR clothing and boots.
