Summary

SiteTalent is partnering with a well-established specialty contractor in the Lower Mainland to find a Senior Mechanical Estimator. Our client is a 30-year business built on technical expertise, strong customer relationships, and a reputation for delivering high-quality mechanical insulation and related specialty services across commercial and industrial environments.

What You’ll Do

- Own the estimating process from initial drawings and takeoffs through bid submission and negotiation.
- Price mechanical insulation and related scopes accurately by assessing materials, labour, subcontractors, and risk.
- Identify exclusions, clarifications, and scope risks before submission.
- Attend site visits, pre-bid meetings, and walkthroughs.
- Maintain current pricing information, historical cost data, and estimating records.

Client Relationships & Commercial Impact

- Speak directly with clients, general contractors, suppliers, and vendors as a credible representative of the business.
- Negotiate scope, pricing, and terms with the goal of winning profitable work.
- Support customer relationships and business development without carrying a hard individual sales quota.
- Attend customer meetings, industry events, and social functions as a senior face of the company.
- Complete a clean handoff to operations and project management once a purchase order is received.
- Work collaboratively across estimating, operations, and commercial groups.
- Contribute to the continuous improvement of estimating processes, tools, and technology.

What You Bring

Experience & Credentials

- Strong knowledge of HVAC, piping,



plumbing, mechanical, or related mechanical systems.
- Ability to read and interpret mechanical drawings, specifications, and tender documents.
- Proven track record of client-facing communication—leading meetings, defending pricing, and building trust with senior customers.
- Experience with estimating software such as Bluebeam, PlanSwift, or similar platforms. FastWRAP exposure is a plus.
- Comfortable working predominantly from the office, with customer meetings and events outside the office.

Skills & Attributes

- A confident, customer-facing estimator who can sit across the table from a GC or owner and represent the company with credibility.

- Strong commercial judgment—understands risk, margins, exclusions, and how changes in scope affect profitability.
- Team-oriented and collaborative—works well across departments.
- Confident without ego.
- Curious about technology and open to AI-enabled estimating workflow improvements.

What We Can Offer You

- 5% RRSP matching.
- Company vehicle and gas card.
- Laptop and cell phone provided.
- Three weeks vacation to start, with four weeks available for the right candidate.
- Visible influence in a 30-year business rather than being one estimator in a large corporate department.
- Direct access to ownership, senior customers, and a genuine prospect to shape how the company wins work.
