Descripción del empleo

We're hiring a HVAC Estimator for a U.S.-based commercial mechanical contractor.

This is a newly created position, and it is first and foremost an estimating seat. The company wants one person who can own commercial HVAC estimating end-to-end — take-offs, pricing, bid packages — and become the internal authority on how they bid work.

As you learn their processes, the role expands to include project management support. That's the secondary half of the job, and it grows over time rather than starting on day one.

Their current project mix is hospitality — hotels, resorts, restaurants — plus office buildings. They are actively expanding into data centers, hospitals and medical facilities, government projects, and high-rise commercial.

You'll work directly with the leadership team, not through layers. This is a long-term hire.

Your primary role: HVAC estimating

This is where you'll spend most of your time.

• Prepare complete estimates for commercial HVAC projects from drawings and specifications
• Execute detailed material and equipment take-offs — ductwork, sheet metal, air handling equipment, piping, insulation, hangers and accessories
• Build labor pricing using U.S. labor rates and productivity factors
• Solicit, review and level subcontractor and vendor quotes
• Analyze scopes of work, identify exclusions and qualifications, and flag scope gaps before they become change orders
• Raise RFIs and process addendums during the bid period
• Assemble and submit complete, competitive bid packages within deadline
• Build and maintain the company's cost databases, estimating templates and standardized workflows
• Conduct post-bid reviews to improve accuracy and margin over time

Your secondary role: project management support

Once you're established in the estimating seat, you'll take on a growing share of this.

• Prepare and track submittals
• Assemble closeout documentation
• Plan management and document control
• Support change order pricing and scope adjustments

Requirements

• Mechanical Engineering degree
• Hands-on HVAC estimating experience — you have personally priced commercial HVAC scope: ductwork, sheet metal, equipment, piping, and the associated labor
• U.S. market experience — you've worked to U.S. codes, labor rates and estimating conventions
• Availability to work full-time during U.S. business hours

Plus:

• Minimum 5 years of relevant experience
• Experience on large commercial HVAC projects
• Strong Bluebeam skills
• Experience with Procore
• Professional working English, written and spoken

Nice to have

• Engineering license (P.E. or local equivalent)
• Previous experience supporting project management on commercial construction
• AutoCAD or Revit for light drafting and markups
• Experience in hospitality, data center, healthcare or government projects
• ASHRAE or SMACNA familiarity
• Strong written communication — this is a remote role on a distributed team

Benefits

• Work for the most exciting companies in the North American Market.
• Flexible schedules.
• Work from anywhere.
• Highly competitive compensation.
