A bit about us:
ENR Top 10 Mechanical Firm
We're one of the country's leading mechanical contractors, delivering HVAC, piping, and mechanical solutions on projects of every size and complexity — from stadiums and hospitals to power plants, manufacturing facilities, concert halls, and classrooms. Operating from multiple regional locations nationwide, we pair the stability, resources, and reach of a national firm with the team culture, creative spirit, and customer loyalty of a local business. We've grown roughly 70% in the past year and have been recognized year after year as a top place to work — a reflection of the flat, highly collaborative culture we've built and the people we keep investing in.
Why join us?
Real growth, real momentum — ~70% growth in the past year means new projects, new scope, and a clear runway to advance
Build something that's yours — you're not inheriting a polished machine; you'll architect the estimating department's strategy, standards, and systems from the ground up
Lead and shape a team — step in as the leader that estimators have been waiting for, with full ownership of how the group develops
Award-winning, top-workplace culture — recognized year after year, with a flat, collaborative structure where your voice actually carries
National strength, local feel — the resources and project variety of a national contractor with the tight-knit culture of a local shop

Foster the desired company culture
Emphasize a strong safety culture at all times
Provide growth and development opportunities through training and continuing education
Organizational Support and Relationship Building
Collaborate with corporate and project management to determine which projects to bid, plus strategies and techniques
Participate in presentations to corporate management and clients; may be responsible for closing the "sale"

Provide technical assistance in negotiating contracts, change orders, etc. as required
Work closely with Superintendents and Foremen; provide job information as necessary
Develop customer partnerships that generate long-term relationships and ongoing opportunities
Build mutual trust, respect, and cooperation with clients

10+ years of mechanical HVAC and piping estimating experience
10+ years of knowledge of corporate objectives impacting estimating, estimating strategies and techniques, and construction contracts
10+ years using industry-standard estimating and takeoff software
5+ years leading, coaching, and mentoring an estimating team
