Estimator

Estimator – Air Distribution

Location: Denver, CO

Compensation: $70,000 – $100,000

About the Role:
You’ll work the air distribution estimating desk for an established commercial HVAC equipment sales and distribution operation, turning plans and specs into takeoffs, priced quotes, and submittal packages on sheet metal and equipment packages. You own the estimate from intake through submission. 

This is a strong fit for someone who can already read a set of drawings and build a defensible estimate, but hasn’t spent time on the air distribution product side.  That part gets taught here, properly, with a structured onboarding program and a team that reviews work before it goes out. You’ll have a defined workflow, clear priorities, and enough product depth around you to get answers fast.

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Run material takeoffs and cost estimates on assigned air distribution projects
• Read plans and specs to pin down scope, quantities, and the accessories that usually get missed
• Select equipment and build priced quotes against house pricing standards and inclusion/exclusion rules
• Flag scope gaps, unclear drawings, and risk items early rather than eating them later
• Assemble proposals and submittal packages that hold up to engineer review
• Write up the order once the job is won, then track the product through production and shipping
• Work the standard estimating workflow: intake, takeoff, quote build, review, submission
• Keep the estimating lead current on status, questions, and risk, and hand off cleanly to project management when a bid moves to execution

About You:

• Construction estimating experience — required
• Able to read construction drawings and specifications
• Working knowledge of HVAC equipment and systems
• Air distribution and commercial sheet metal product knowledge is a plus
• Sharp with numbers, quantities, and pricing, and the kind of detail person who catches their own mistakes
• Organized and deadline-driven with several estimates open at once
• Clear communicator across estimating, project management, and vendors
• Comfortable in Excel and an estimating or CRM tool
• Able to pass a post-offer drug screen

What We Offer:

• Structured onboarding on product fundamentals, the estimating tools, and the workflow
• An inside seat with a defined workflow and a team that reviews your work rather than dropping you in cold
• A real path — this desk is how people move into inside sales and project management
• Equipment and sheet metal under one roof, so you see the whole package instead of one slice
• Medical, dental, and vision coverage
• Paid time off and paid holidays
• 401(k)
