The ideal candidate is highly skilled in model-based take-offs, understands fabrication-driven estimating, and can collaborate effectively with engineering, operations, and project teams to develop executable scopes and pricing.

Requirements

• Strong experience with model-based quantity take-offs using Navisworks
• Strong experience with orthographic and isometric piping take-offs
• Solid understanding of industrial pipe fabrication processes
• Solid understanding of modular construction principles
• Solid understanding of structural steel fabrication and erection interfaces
• Familiarity with piping specifications, material grades, welding requirements, and QA/QC impacts on cost
• Proficiency in estimating software, Excel, and digital take-off tools (e.g., AutoCAD, MS Excel, Navisworks)
• 5+ years of estimating experience in pipe fabrication, mechanical contracting, or industrial construction
• Experience estimating work for industrial clients such as pharma, chemical, data center, or manufacturing facilities
• Detail-oriented with strong analytical and organizational skills
• Ability to interpret incomplete or evolving design documents
• Strong communication skills for cross-functional and client-facing collaboration
• Practical, execution-focused mindset aligned with fabrication-driven delivery

Nice To Haves

• Modular or prefabricated systems experience

Responsibilities

• Prepare detailed estimates for carbon steel, stainless steel, and specialty process piping
