Senior Mechanical EstimatorPROCON E&C is hiring a Senior Mechanical Estimator who can own estimates from first look to final number - someone who works independently, carries several bids at once, and makes our estimating process sharper along the way.
What you'll do- Prepare complete mechanical estimates (HVAC, plumbing, and process piping) for commercial and industrial projects: quantity takeoffs, labor units, equipment and material pricing, and subcontractor/vendor quotes
- Source and track private-sector bid opportunities through platforms such as BuildingConnected, Dodge, and ConstructConnect, and recommend which projects to pursue (bid/no-bid)
- Review drawings and specifications, identify scope gaps and risks, and write clear clarifications and exclusions
- Manage multiple bids at the same time and hit every deadline
- Lead scope reviews with equipment vendors and subcontractors and level their quotes
- Hand off awarded projects to operations with a clean budget and scope summary
- Improve our estimating templates, cost database, and historical data so every bid gets faster and more accurate
What we're looking for- 7+ years of mechanical estimating experience (commercial/industrial)
- Estimating experience at a general contractor or a mechanical trade contractor - we value depth in either, and experience on both sides is a strong plus
- Ability to both build detailed self-performed estimates and evaluate, scope, and level subcontractor bids
- Required: experience finding and pursuing private-sector bids through bid platforms (e.g., BuildingConnected, Dodge, ConstructConnect)
- Proven record of carrying estimates end to end with minimal oversight
- Strong understanding of HVAC systems, ductwork, piping, plumbing, and controls interfaces
- Proficiency with estimating and takeoff software (e.g., Trimble/QuickPen, FastEST, Bluebeam)
- Clear written and verbal communication with owners, GCs, and field teams
- Preferred: experience on advanced industrial projects such as battery plants, semiconductor plants, or large manufacturing plants
- A plus: public or federal bidding experience (e.g., SAM.gov, prevailing wage)
Compensation & benefits- $120,000 - $140,000 per year, based on experience
- Profit-based annual bonus eligibility
- Medical and dental insurance
- Company-paid AD&D and term life insurance
- 401(k) with company match
- Paid time off (PTO) and paid holidays
- Travel: up to approximately 10% for site visits and client meetings
Location: Buford, GA (on-site)
