Estimator (HVAC & Plumbing | Planswift)

We are seeking an experienced Estimator with a background in mechanical services or construction. This role focuses on insulation projects, including reviewing drawings, preparing detailed take-offs, and producing accurate quotes. You’ll collaborate with project teams, use tools like PlanSwift, and contribute to process improvements as the business continues to grow in New Zealand and Australia.

• Review and extract relevant measurements and specifications from client-provided architectural and mechanical drawings.
• Translate technical drawings into detailed insulation requirements and input them into pricing tools such as Excel or proprietary estimating software, with a specific focus on pipe insulation.
• Use PlanSwift or AutoCAD to efficiently conduct take-offs and prepare documentation for pricing and quoting.
• Compile quotes in PDF format ensuring accuracy, risk mitigation, and appropriate tagging prior to internal sign-off and client submission.
• Ensure the accuracy of estimates through validation processes considering project type, timelines, internal capacity, and market conditions.
• Collaborate with the project and operations teams to clarify scope, ensure feasibility, and support tender follow-ups as needed.
• Stay informed of market trends and pricing shifts that may affect insulation cost structures and tender competitiveness.
• Contribute ideas to improve estimation processes and tools as the business grows, especially in the NZ market.
• Other role-specific duties as they arise.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or Civil Engineering.
• Minimum 5 years of estimating experience in the construction or mechanical services industry; plumbing/HVAC estimating experience highly desirable.
• Must have experience using PlanSwift or AutoCAD (acceptable if transferable).
• Ability to hit the ground running with minimal onboarding or supervision.
• Strong attention to detail and ability to detect errors or omissions in technical drawings and estimates.
• Competent in Excel, PDF editors, and document formatting for professional quote submissions.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills for internal collaboration and client interaction.
• Familiarity with various insulation materials, mechanical insulation systems, and their applications across commercial and industrial projects is desirable.
• Working knowledge of relevant building codes, insulation standards, and compliance regulations in New Zealand and Australia is a plus.
