We're looking for a seasoned Estimating Manager to lead our estimating team and drive the bidding process across plumbing, HVAC, and fire protection projects. This is a high-visibility role where your decisions directly shape project wins, margins, and long-term growth.

What You'll Do

• Lead and develop the estimating team while owning the full bid lifecycle from initial review through award.
• Review takeoffs and estimates for accuracy and competitiveness, conduct site visits and pre-bid meetings, and collaborate with vendors, subs, and internal teams to sharpen every bid.
• Track actual costs against estimates, monitor market conditions, and continuously improve estimating standards, data, and procedures.

What You Bring

• 5+ years of estimating experience in plumbing and HVAC, with deep knowledge of construction estimating principles.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office and digital takeoff software is required. Autobid experience is a plus.
• A bachelor's degree in Engineering or Construction Management is preferred, though equivalent field experience in plumbing or HVAC before estimating will be considered.

What to Expect

This is primarily an office-based role with regular fieldwork, including site visits involving walking on uneven terrain and exposure to varying weather conditions. All candidates must pass a pre-employment drug screen, physical, and background check.

Benefits

Health, dental, vision, and supplemental insurance. 401 (k) with company match, paid time off, and paid holidays.
