Put your plumbing experience to work in estimating.

Are you an experienced plumber who enjoys working through drawings, planning installations, and figuring out what it takes to get a job done? If you’re ready to bring that knowledge into an office role, we’d like to hear from you.

We're looking for a plumber interested in developing a career in mechanical estimating. Our projects include mixed-use low- and mid-rise residential/commercial developments, purpose-built commercial buildings, and light industrial projects across the Lower Mainland.

Previous estimating experience is welcome but isn’t required. We’re looking for someone with strong plumbing knowledge, attention to detail, and a willingness to learn. We will provide training in our estimating processes and software, including Trimble AutoBid and Bluebeam Revu.

What You’ll Do

As you develop your estimating skills, your responsibilities will include:

- Reviewing drawings, specifications, and tender documents to identify project requirements.
- Completing material takeoffs and preparing labour and material estimates.
- Applying your field experience to assess installation methods, labour requirements, and potential challenges.
- Obtaining and reviewing supplier and subcontractor quotations.
- Identifying missing information, scope gaps, and items requiring clarification.
- Working with project managers to prepare complete and competitive bids.
- Assisting with pricing changes, site instructions, and alternative installation or material options.
- Maintaining organized estimating records and helping transfer awarded projects to the project management team.

What We’re Looking For





- Strong hands-on plumbing experience, ideally in commercial or multi-unit residential construction.
- Journeyperson certification is preferred.
- Ability to read and interpret plumbing drawings and specifications.
- A practical understanding of plumbing systems, materials, installation methods, and jobsite sequencing.
- Positive math skills and a careful, organized approach to your work.
- Basic computer skills and a willingness to learn estimating software.
- Clear communication skills and the ability to work with suppliers, subcontractors, and our internal team.
- Ability to stay organized and meet tender deadlines.

Experience as a foreperson or lead hand, completing material orders, planning labour, or reviewing drawings would be an asset. Familiarity with Excel, Bluebeam, or Trimble AutoBid is helpful, but not required.
