Use modern tools (Bluebeam + Excel; exposure to leading sheet-metal estimating platforms - we'll train.

How big projects move: Data hygiene & speed: templates and assemblies that make your numbers trusted by operations.

Advance from Estimator I → Estimator II → Senior Estimator, with options to specialize (healthcare/DSA/campus), mentor interns, or pivot into precon or PM.

0-2 years of sheet metal, HVAC, mechanical or construction experience (internships, shop/field time, design/drafting, or estimating all count) or a related degree/certificate (CM, ME/MEP, drafting, or welding/fab).

Beginner proficiency with Bluebeam and Excel; exposure to any MEP/sheet-metal estimating tool is a plus.
