This company has built a strong reputation over decades specializing in complex industrial and municipal mechanical projects including:

• Wastewater treatment facilities

This is not high-volume residential or apartment-style plumbing work. The projects are technical, diverse, and highly specialized — offering the opportunity to work on challenging and meaningful infrastructure projects throughout the region.

What You’ll Do

This is a hybrid role ideal for someone who can both estimate and help manage awarded work.

Responsibilities include:

• Plumbing and mechanical estimating
• Quantity takeoffs and bid preparation
• Project buyouts and procurement coordination
• Scheduling and material tracking
• Managing awarded projects through completion
• Coordinating with field teams, vendors, and subcontractors
• Supporting public-sector and prevailing wage projects

What We’re Looking For

Required Experience

• 5–7+ years of plumbing/mechanical estimating experience
• Background in industrial plumbing, process piping, or mechanical construction
• Strong understanding of construction operations beyond just estimating
• Experience managing projects after award is highly preferred
• Familiarity with public-sector or prevailing wage projects

Software Experience

Experience with some or all of the following is preferred:

• Trimble estimating platforms
• BlueBeam
• Revit
• Construction coordination software

Ideal Background

• Former plumber or hands-on field experience strongly preferred
• Plumbing license is a plus, but not required
• Local New England market knowledge is highly valued

Compensation & Benefits

• Salary commensurate with experience
• Profit sharing program
• 90% employer‑paid health insurance
• PTO negotiable based on experience
• Stable daytime schedule
• Limited hybrid flexibility available

Why This Opportunity?

• A longstanding company backed by decades of industry experience
• Interesting, technical projects — no repetitive 'cookie‑cutter' work
• Tight‑knit team environment
• Direct access to leadership and decision makers
• Long‑term career opportunity with a respected contractor

If you’re an experienced estimator who understands both the office and field side of mechanical construction, this could be an excellent long‑term fit.
