HVAC / Plumbing Estimator – Commercial Mechanical Projects

Location Fort Worth, TX

Reports to the Chief Estimator

We’re hiring an HVAC/Plumbing Estimator to drive preconstruction efforts on large-scale commercial mechanical projects. This role sits at the intersection of strategy and execution—owning the numbers, mitigating risk, and helping secure high-value work.

What You’ll Do:

• Develop detailed estimates for HVAC and plumbing systems across complex commercial builds
• Perform quantity takeoffs, review drawings/specs, and identify scope gaps early—before they become problems
• Solicit, evaluate, and level subcontractor/vendor pricing to build competitive bids
• Partner with preconstruction, engineering, and operations teams to align on scope, schedule, and cost strategy
• Identify value engineering opportunities without compromising quality or performance
• Maintain clean documentation of assumptions, clarifications, and cost history

What You Bring:

• 3+ years of estimating experience in commercial HVAC and/or plumbing systems
• Strong understanding of mechanical systems, codes, and installation practices
• Proficiency in takeoff and estimating tools (Bluebeam, OST, Trimble, etc.)
• Ability to read construction documents like a pro—nothing slips through
• Strong analytical mindset with attention to detail and deadlines
• Team-oriented communicator who can influence outcomes, not just report numbers

Why This Role:

• Exposure to large, complex commercial projects with real scale
• Tight-knit, high-performing preconstruction team
• Competitive compensation, steady backlog, and growth runway
