Job Description

Role Overview:

As our HVAC Estimator, you’ll play a pivotal role in helping win jobs, setting realistic budgets, and ensuring our projects start off strong. You’ll take ownership of cost-estimating HVAC systems (units, ducts, piping, controls, etc.), from the early walk-throughs to final bid submission. Your estimates will help the team scope work, evaluate options, and set the stage for successful project delivery.

Essential Functions:

  • Review project plans, specifications, design-build documents and work with the sales team to understand project scope, phasing, constraints, and client expectations.
  • Perform take-offs for HVAC systems: sheet metal, ductwork, piping (chilled/hot water, refrigerant, etc.), equipment, controls, labor, and subcontractor scopes.
  • Solicit and evaluate vendor and subcontractor quotes for equipment and material, maintain unit cost databases, and track historical estimating data.
  • Produce detailed cost estimates and bid packages—including labor, materials, equipment, overhead, allowances, contingency, and mark-up
  • Attend job walks / pre-bid meetings and site surveys to capture job-specific conditions, constraints, and build-ability issues.
  • Collaborate with project management, design team, and operations to verify constructability, schedule impacts, change order potential, and ensure budget alignment.
  • Maintain and update estimating logs, project cost history, and data for continuous improvement of estimate accuracy.
  • Provide value-engineering suggestions when appropriate: alternative materials, system layouts, labor efficiencies.
  • Support change order estimating and budget monitoring post-award when required.

Qualifications and Education:

  • Minimum 3 years estimating experience in commercial/industrial HVAC systems (or mechanical contracting).
  • Strong ability to read and interpret construction drawings, specifications, and mechanical system plans.
  • Demonstrated experience performing HVAC take-offs and developing full system cost estimates (equipment, duct/piping, labor).
  • Proficient with estimating software (or willingness to learn) and Microsoft Office (Excel especially).
  • Familiarity with industry unit-cost databases a plus.
  • Excellent analytical skills, attention to detail, strong verbal and written communication (you’ll interface with sales, subcontractors, vendors).
  • Self-motivated, able to manage multiple bids/projects concurrently under deadlines.
  • Ability to perform site visits if required. (Travel to job-walks, vendor visits, etc.)

  • Preferred: Bachelor’s degree in Construction Management, Mechanical Engineering, or related field—or equivalent combination of education + experience.
  • Preferred: Prior background in HVAC field (installer, service tech, foreman) is a plus (helps with understanding real-world labor/materials).

Work Location:

This is an on-site position based out of our corporate office in Anchorage, AK with flexibility for remote work as necessary.

Salary Range:

$80,000 - $95,000 + DOE

Benefits:

  • Holaday-Parks, Inc., offers an excellent salary and benefits package—paying 100% of medical/vision/dental, and prescription premiums for employees and an employee-centric culture.
