  • Familiarity with HVAC, hydronic piping, mechanical, and plumbing systems

  • Experience with both negotiated and competitive bid formats

  • Proficiency in Bluebeam, Microsoft Excel, Word, and Outlook

  • Highly organized, deadline-driven, and comfortable managing multiple estimates at once

  • Strong communication and interpersonal skills—you'll work closely with internal teams and external partners
