We are seeking an experienced, motivated, and detail-oriented  HVAC Estimator to join our team.

The ideal candidate must have experience estimating HVAC new construction projects, mechanical installations, system replacements, ductwork, and related equipment. This position requires someone who can read construction drawings, perform accurate material takeoffs, calculate labor costs, and prepare competitive, profitable proposals.

We are looking for someone who takes ownership of their work, pays attention to detail, and can manage multiple projects independently.

Key Responsibilities

• Review mechanical drawings, blueprints, specifications, and construction documents.
• Prepare detailed HVAC estimates for new construction, renovations, tenant improvements, and equipment installations.

• Estimate labor hours, materials, equipment, subcontractor costs, and installation expenses.
• Prepare estimates for rooftop units (RTUs), split systems, air handlers, mini-splits, exhaust fans, and other HVAC systems.
• Request and compare pricing from equipment suppliers, distributors, and subcontractors.
• Coordinate with general contractors, project managers, vendors, and field personnel.
• Identify discrepancies, missing information, and potential conflicts in construction drawings.
• Prepare detailed scopes of work, proposals, and bid packages.
• Manage bid deadlines and maintain organized estimating records.
• Assist with value engineering and cost-saving opportunities.
• Review project requirements, permits, and applicable mechanical codes.
• Support project handoffs after contracts are awarded.
• Track estimates, follow up on submitted bids, and maintain accurate project documentation.

Qualifications

• Minimum 3 years of HVAC estimating or relevant mechanical construction experience preferred.
• Strong knowledge of commercial and residential HVAC installation methods.
• Experience estimating new construction HVAC projects.
• Ability to read and interpret mechanical blueprints and specifications.
• Understanding of ductwork systems, refrigerant piping, ventilation, and HVAC equipment.
• Experience calculating material quantities and installation labor.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Excel and PDF construction drawings.
• Experience with Bluebeam, PlanSwift, STACK, or similar estimating software is a plus.
• Familiarity with Florida Mechanical Code and local construction requirements.
• Strong organizational, mathematical, and communication skills.
• Ability to meet deadlines and handle multiple bids simultaneously.
• Bilingual English/Spanish is a plus.

Preferred Experience

Candidates with experience in the following areas are strongly encouraged to apply:

• Commercial HVAC new construction
• Residential new construction
• HVAC equipment changeouts and replacements
• Mechanical plan takeoffs
• Commercial tenant improvements and buildouts
• Design-build HVAC projects

• Full-time employment.
• Opportunities for professional growth and advancement.
• Exposure to commercial and residential construction projects.
• A professional, growth-oriented working environment.
• Opportunity to help develop and expand our estimating department.

What We Are Looking For

We are not looking for someone who simply enters numbers into a spreadsheet.
