Job description

Hunton Services is seeking an experienced HVAC Estimator with strong plan-and-spec expertise. Design/build experience is also highly valuable. This role is essential in delivering accurate estimates, developing scopes, and supporting successful project execution across institutional, educational, commercial, and industrial markets.

Come work for an industry leader that has been recognized both locally and nationally as one of Top Places to Work!

Key Responsibilities:

  • Partner with building owners and account managers to provide turnkey estimates for HVAC projects.
  • Leverage internal and external resources to deliver optimal value to customers.
  • Manage the entire bid process-from scope development through the job kickoff meeting, including job site visits.
  • Analyze project documents to identify requirements, scope, schedules, non-standard work conditions, risk factors, material/equipment needs, and compliance considerations.
  • Investigate systems and equipment as needed to prepare accurate cost estimates.
  • Perform take-offs and price purchased equipment, ensuring accurate quantities, sizing, configurations, voltages, and options.
  • Identify cost-saving opportunities and risk items; stay current with industry standards to maintain a competitive advantage.
  • Create detailed scope documents: system sketches, scope definitions, exceptions/exclusions, subcontractor/vendor quotes, and point lists.
  • Use estimating software to take off piping, ductwork, equipment, and miscellaneous materials; develop labor and material cost estimates.
  • Build complete estimates with detailed breakdowns, budgets, and schedules of values for AIA billing.
  • Maintain strong customer relationships with professional, proactive communication and conflict-resolution skills.
  • Represent Hunton Services in customer and engineering meetings.
  • Communicate clearly with subcontractors, suppliers, and internal teams.
  • Support Project Managers with document compliance, supplier selection, submittals, RFIs, bulletins, pricing, and negotiations.
  • Provide technical guidance and help resolve project issues.
  • Coordinate and respond to changes from the original scope.
  • Flexibility to work overtime or weekends as needed.
  • Plan/Spec Projects
    • Review and interpret plans and specifications.
    • Evaluate bid documents to identify scope, schedule impacts, safety/compliance requirements, and special conditions.
  • Design/Build Projects
    • Understand customer needs and help develop effective, turnkey solutions.
    • Collaborate with engineering and internal resources to propose and evaluate system options.
    • Act as a key contributor in the development of design/build proposals.

Qualifications:

  • Strong teamwork skills with the ability to lead or support team efforts.
  • Thorough understanding of system sizing, calculations, and capacities-including duct/pipe sizing, equipment selection, design/coordination drawings, and code compliance.
  • Experience using RS Means or similar estimating tools.
  • Excellent math, communication (written and verbal), and organizational skills.
  • Detail-oriented, results-driven, and capable of managing multiple priorities.
  • Proficient in Microsoft Excel, Word, OneNote, and Outlook.

Preferred Experience:

  • Associate degree or formal training in a related field, plus 5 years of HVAC estimating experience.
  • Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Construction Management, or a related field, plus 3 years of experience.
  • 7+ years of HVAC estimating experience.
  • Other combinations of education and experience will be considered.
