• Solicit and qualify pricing from subcontractors and suppliers, ensuring we have the best support in the market.
• Partner with Sales leadership and Operations to align our pricing strategies with market conditions and business objectives.
• Provide clear, accurate documentation and participate in turnover meetings to set our execution teams up for success.

Required Qualifications

• High School Diploma/GED or completion of an accredited trade or technical school program
• 5+ years of experience in Building Automation Systems (BAS), HVAC, or Building Controls.
• 3+ years of direct, hands‑on estimating experience for commercial BAS or mechanical controls projects, including experience reading and interpreting complex blueprints, MEP drawings, control schematics, and bid specifications.

Preferred Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Architectural Engineering, or Mechatronics Engineering
• Skilled in modern estimating software and CRM tools to drive efficiency.(e.g., Salesforce, MileStone, Bluebeam, Accubid, or proprietary ALC tools)
• Ability to present ideas and strategies clearly to leadership and diverse stakeholders.
• Strong analytical and organizational skills with a proven ability to perform in a fast‐paced environment.
• Prior experience working directly with owner-direct sales and plan/spec construction channels.
