- Review contract documents (plans, specifications, addenda, scopes of work) and perform quantity takeoffs for materials, labor, and equipment.
- Gather and organize supplier/subcontractor pricing and data under supervision to support accurate budgeting and proposals.
- Support the assembly and formatting of bid proposals, RFP/RFQ responses, and bid packages for submittal.
- Maintain accurate, organized project files, estimate records, and documentation.
- Help identify basic design challenges, constructability issues, and value engineering opportunities.
- Participate in client and stakeholder meetings as needed to gather scope and provide basic estimating support.
- Collaborate with internal teams (preconstruction, estimating, operations, sales) and external partners to align deliverables with project objectives.
- Assist with special projects, research, or administrative tasks related to estimating and preconstruction as assigned.
- Actively learn commercial construction methods, mechanical systems, estimating techniques, and Modigent standards through on-the-job training and mentorship.
- Experience : 1–3+ years of relevant experience in construction estimating, preconstruction, project coordination, or a related field (internships, apprenticeships, or entry-level roles in mechanical/construction count). Recent graduates with engineering or construction management degrees who have strong interest in commercial HVAC/mechanical estimating are encouraged to apply.
- Education : Bachelor’s degree in Construction Management, Mechanical Engineering, Architectural Engineering, or a related field preferred; equivalent experience considered.
- Physical Demands : Primarily office-based with occasional site visits; ability to walk construction sites, lift light materials (plans, laptop), and travel regionally as needed; standard office mobility for computer work and meetings.
- Work Environment/Safety : Professional office with hybrid options and occasional active construction sites; exposure to varying weather, noise, dust, heights; must adhere to OSHA regulations, conduct hazard identification, and wear required PPE (hard hat, safety glasses, steel-toed boots) on sites—safety is our top priority and non-negotiable. This is a safety-sensitive position.
- Basic understanding of commercial construction practices, mechanical systems (HVAC/plumbing/piping preferred), and reading blueprints/specifications.
- Proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite (Excel essential for data organization and calculations; Word and Outlook for communication).
- Strong attention to detail, organizational skills, and eagerness to learn quickly.
- Effective written and verbal communication with a professional demeanor.
- Collaborative team player with the ability to work toward increasing independence.
- Commitment to accuracy, quality, and continuous improvement in a fast-paced preconstruction environment.

- Comprehensive benefits including medical, dental, and vision coverage, plus HSA options with employer contributions in select plans, and company-paid basic life and accidental death & dismemberment insurance.
- Paid time off, holiday pay, and a 401(k) retirement savings plan to support your long-term financial well-being.
- Professional development through hands-on training, mentorship, apprenticeships, certifications, and clear career advancement paths across our nationwide operating companies.
