Are You Currently Running Your Own Insulation Business?Are you an experienced insulation contractor or estimator who is tired of the day-to-day responsibilities of running your own business ?

If you're ready to leave behind the headaches of payroll, insurance, collections, staffing, scheduling, and chasing work—but still want to put your industry knowledge and relationships to work—this could be an excellent opportunity.

We're looking for someone who knows the mechanical insulation business, understands how projects are actually built, and wants to focus on estimating, developing opportunities, and winning profitable work without having to manage every aspect of owning a company.

Responsibilities
·     Prepare estimates for HVAC ductwork, plumbing, hydronic piping, process piping, equipment, and mechanical insulation
·     Review drawings, specifications, addenda, and bid documents
·     Perform detailed material and labor takeoffs
·     Determine insulation types, thicknesses, jacketing, vapor barriers, and other project requirements
·     Develop labor and material pricing for competitive bids
·     Obtain and evaluate vendor and supplier quotations
·     Identify scope gaps, exclusions, alternates, and potential project risks
·     Prepare complete proposals and bid submissions
·     Review project requirements with management and operations before turnover
·     Track bid results and assist with follow-up and negotiations
·     Develop relationships with mechanical contractors, general contractors, and customers

Qualifications

·     Strong knowledge of HVAC, plumbing, hydronic, and process piping systems

·     Strong mathematical, organizational, and analytical skills
·     Ability to manage multiple bids and deadlines simultaneously
·     Strong communication and follow-up skills

What We're Looking For
We're looking for someone who can do more than simply perform takeoffs. The right candidate understands how mechanical insulation projects are actually built and can recognize scope issues, constructability concerns, labor challenges, and opportunities that aren't always obvious from the drawings.

Current or former mechanical insulation business owners are strongly encouraged to apply. Your experience running projects, dealing with customers, estimating work, purchasing materials, and understanding what it takes to make a job profitable is exactly the type of experience we value.

Experience working with mechanical contractors, insulation contractors, industrial facilities, hospitals, pharmaceutical facilities, schools, commercial buildings, and similar projects is highly desirable.

Benefits may include:

·     Health insurance
