Own the number. Own the job. Build something bigger.
We're not looking for someone to push paper on someone else's estimates. We're looking for the person who prices the work, wins it and delivers it on budget, with real authority to make the call.
Who We Are
Ventech Mechanical Contractors has kept commercial HVAC and refrigeration systems running, and our clients' costs down, for over 12 years. From our base in Beamsville, we self-perform HVAC and sheet metal on commercial, institutional and agricultural projects across Hamilton, Burlington and the Niagara Region, from school renovations to food storage facilities.
We're growing fast, and this seat is a big part of that growth.
Why This Seat Matters
Every project starts with a number. Price it wrong and no amount of hard work in the field saves the job. Price it right and run it right, and it funds the next stage of our growth.
This seat owns commercial project work from first drawing to final closeout. You build the estimate, win the work, set up the job, deliver it and feed what you learned back into the next bid. You're not handing your number to someone else to run. The person who builds the number owns the job.
You'll also be the main contact for our customers and general contractors on project work. They'll know your name, and they'll trust your word.
How We Work
Real authority. You own your estimates, with clear approval limits, and you make the call.
A scorecard tied to results. You're measured on win rate, margin and cost accuracy, not hours logged.
No micromanagement. We trust professionals. Know your numbers, hit your scorecard and run your jobs.
Room to grow. The person in this seat grows with the company and helps build what comes next.
Our Values in This Seat
We run on four core values. Here's what they look like in this role:
- Integrity: Estimates built on real numbers, and change orders priced and signed before work starts. Straight talk with customers, GCs and the field.
- Excellence: Tight takeoffs, levelled quotes and jobs that come in on budget.
- Reliability: Submittals, RFIs, permits and inspections handled on time. Open quotes followed up. Nothing falls through the cracks.
- Care: For the field leads who build what you price, the customers and GCs who trust your number, and the team whose growth rides on it.
What You Get
- $80,000 to $100,000 per year, based on experience
- Real pricing authority, with clear approval limits
- Extended health, dental and vision care
- Life and disability insurance
- Training and education support
- A clear scorecard tied to results
- Team events outside of work and an employee referral program
You'll Thrive Here If You
- Take pride in a tight estimate and a job that comes in on budget
- Want authority, not just responsibility
- Communicate honestly with customers, GCs and the field team
- Want to grow with a company that's building something bigger
