About Us We are a single-source solution for the design and implementation of sophisticated mechanical and plumbing systems. Our integrated in-house production model utilizes coordinated BIM models to produce precise fabrication documentation to help ensure accurate installation. Job Summary The Estimator performs professional mechanical engineering analysis in support of preconstruction, design-build, design-assist, estimating, and bidding activities for HVAC, plumbing, mechanical piping, and related building systems. The position applies mechanical engineering principles, calculations, technical judgment, and system-level analysis to develop and evaluate mechanical concepts, equipment selections, piping requirements, technical alternatives, scopes, quantities, budgets, and proposals for healthcare, institutional, commercial, and higher-education facilities. Cost estimating and proposal preparation are performed as downstream components of the technical engineering analysis completed for each project. Essential Duties & Responsibilities Include the following. Other duties will likely be assigned. Perform HVAC load calculations and analyze heating, cooling, ventilation, and plumbing requirements for proposed and existing facilities. Perform equipment sizing and technical selection of HVAC, plumbing, and related mechanical-system equipment. Perform pipe sizing and evaluate preliminary piping configurations, routing, and system requirements. Develop conceptual HVAC and plumbing drawings, mechanical-system layouts, and design-build concepts used for planning, budgeting, and preconstruction. Review owner narratives, architectural drawings, engineering drawings, specifications, and bid documents to identify and evaluate technical system requirements. Participate in design-build and design-assist projects by developing mechanical concepts and providing technical engineering input to project teams. Review engineer-of-record designs and recommend technically appropriate revisions, alternatives, and value-engineering solutions. Evaluate competing mechanical systems and recommend changes based on system performance, constructability, schedule, equipment availability, and cost implications. Evaluate and recommend equipment and material substitutions based on technical suitability, compatibility, performance, lead time, and cost. Prepare requests for information and coordinate with project teams, design professionals, suppliers, and subcontractors to resolve technical mechanical-system questions. Prepare mechanical quantity takeoffs, technical scopes, pricing, cost estimates, and proposals using Trimble AutoBid and Microsoft 365 applications as a downstream component of the engineering analysis performed for the project. Perform additional assignments as directed by company leadership. Prepare scope letters and proposals Qualifications Required: Minimum 3 – 8 years of mechanical construction estimating experience. Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or a closely related engineering discipline. Expertise in Plumbing, Mechanical Piping, and HVAC systems for healthcare, institutional, commercial or higher education projects. Strong understanding of mechanical construction bidding processes.
