Seamlessly integrate into and follow internal company processes

What Sets You Apart:

A proven track record of successfully bidding and winning plumbing projects
The ability to take full ownership of the estimating process with minimal oversight
Strong industry awareness—you know the GCs, the market, and how to position a bid
A strategic mindset that balances competitiveness with profitability
Confidence in communication with GCs, vendors, and internal teams

Qualifications:

Extensive experience as a Plumbing Estimator (commercial experience preferred)
Strong knowledge of plumbing systems, materials, and labor costing
Expertise in reading and interpreting blueprints and construction documents

Performance-based incentives / bonus opportunities
Health benefits, PTO, 401K
A stable pipeline of work and strong GC relationships
Opportunity to be a key contributor within a growing, respected company

Important:
