Description

Position Summary The Mechanical & Piping Estimator (Levels 09-11) will be responsible for preparing detailed, internal "bottoms-up" estimates for mechanical, piping, HVAC, utility, and process systems to support engineering-only efforts, early feasibility studies, and Construction Design-Build / EPC estimates and proposals. The successful candidate will study design documents, perform detailed quantity take-offs, price estimates, and author comprehensive Bases of Estimate (BOE).

This position requires close, seamless collaboration with the larger Estimating and Preconstruction team members based in Kansas City (KC). This is an internally focused position with little to no external subcontractor or vendor contact.

Responsibilities

Internal Bottoms-Up Estimating: Develop detailed "bottoms-up" direct cost estimates—including material, labor, productivity rates, and equipment for process piping, utility piping, HVAC, hydronic, compressed air, steam, chilled water, and mechanical equipment systems scopes of work.

Design & Narrative Analysis: Thoroughly study, analyze,



and understand design documents, engineering drawings, blueprints, technical specifications, and project narratives.

Quantity Take-offs (QTO): Perform highly accurate, detailed quantity take-offs from early-stage conceptual sketches through fully detailed construction drawings using software such as On-Screen Takeoff or Bluebeam.

Software Integration: Utilize and input take-off quantities, pricing data, and historical cost data into estimating databases and tools, with a robust preference for InEight Estimating software.

Basis of Estimate (BOE) Development: Take an integral role in writing and organizing the "Basis of Estimate" (BOE) for assigned Mechanical and Piping scopes. Clearly outline core assumptions, clarifications, and exclusions, particularly where design documents are incomplete, vague, or in early stages (Class 5, 4, or 3 estimates).
