About The Role

We’re looking for a Service Estimator who knows how to price work accurately, move quickly, and think through real-world execution—not just numbers on a spreadsheet.

This role supports both service and small project work, building detailed, competitive estimates that account for labor, materials, risk, and compliance. You’ll work closely with operations, field teams, and vendors to make sure what we sell is something we can actually deliver—profitably.

If you’ve done estimating in HVAC or mechanical service and understand how jobs really get built, this is where you’ll have impact.

What You'll Be Responsible For

Building accurate estimates for service and project work (labor, materials, equipment, subs)
Reviewing plans, specs, and field conditions to fully understand scope
Performing quantity takeoffs and developing detailed cost breakdowns
Soliciting and leveling vendor and subcontractor pricing
Preparing and submitting bids within deadlines
Accounting for permits, safety requirements, and regulatory costs in all estimates
Managing estimates and documentation within CMMS and internal systems
Collaborating with project managers, technicians, and operations to validate scope and approach
Evaluating risk, applying contingencies, and protecting margin
Following up on bids, supporting negotiations, and adjusting pricing as needed
Reviewing completed jobs to improve future estimating accuracy

Who You Are

You’ve worked in mechanical or HVAC estimating and understand service work—not just large construction bids
You know how to read plans, specs, and drawings without guessing
You’re detail-oriented but can still move fast when deadlines hit
You think beyond the estimate—you consider execution, labor realities, and risk
You’re comfortable working with vendors, negotiating pricing, and holding people accountable
You don’t miss things like permits, safety requirements, or hidden costs

What You Bring

3+ years of experience in HVAC estimating, project coordination, or similar role
Strong understanding of mechanical systems and installation/service practices
Experience with takeoffs, material lists, and labor forecasting
Ability to read and interpret construction documents and blueprints
Proficiency in estimating software and Excel (E4P, Trimble, Quote Soft, or similar preferred)
Working knowledge of pricing, labor rates, and subcontractor management
Strong analytical skills and attention to detail
Ability to manage multiple estimates at once without losing accuracy

What We Offer

At Quantum Industrial Services, we believe strong teams build strong companies. We’re committed to providing the tools, support, and environment needed for employees to succeed and grow.
