About the Company
We’re working with a Maryland-based commercial electrical and HVAC contracting company with a lean, hands-on team. The company specializes in commercial projects and is looking for a dedicated Estimator who can help strengthen its estimating and bidding process.
This is a great opportunity for someone who understands the U.S. commercial construction market, knows how to build accurate and competitive estimates, and can work independently while staying closely aligned with the client’s team.
Job Summary
We’re looking for a Mid-Level Electrical & HVAC Estimator with at least 3 years of U.S. market estimating experience.
You’ll be responsible for preparing competitive bids and detailed cost estimates for commercial electrical and HVAC projects. You’ll work directly within the client’s systems and collaborate with the team to ensure estimates are accurate, competitive, and aligned with current Maryland/Mid-Atlantic market conditions.
The ideal candidate is detail-oriented, practical, and comfortable taking ownership of the estimating process in a remote environment.
Responsibilities
•
Prepare accurate and competitive estimates and bids for commercial electrical and HVAC projects.
•
Review project plans, specifications, scopes, and other bid documents to determine labor, materials, equipment, and overall project costs.
•
Analyze project requirements and develop pricing appropriate for the Maryland commercial market.
•
Perform quantity takeoffs and cost analysis for electrical and/or HVAC scopes.
•
Work directly within client systems and estimating platforms.
•
Maintain organized and accurate estimating records and pricing information.
•
Collaborate with the client team throughout the estimating and bidding process.
•
Research and apply current market pricing, labor costs, and material costs.
•
Identify potential cost risks, scope gaps, and estimating discrepancies before bids are submitted.
•
Help improve and maintain efficient estimating workflows and processes.
•
Meet deadlines and manage multiple estimates while maintaining a high level of accuracy.
Required Skills & Qualifications
•
3+ years of estimating experience within the U.S. market.
Comfortable working remotely and directly within client systems.
•
Willingness to complete a paid skills assessment.
Who Will Thrive in This Role?
This role is best suited for an estimator who is accurate, practical, self-directed, and commercially minded. The client values people who don’t simply put numbers together but understand how to build an estimate that is both profitable and competitive in the U.S. market.
If you have hands-on U.S. commercial estimating experience and can confidently own the estimating process from scope review through bid preparation, this could be a strong fit.
