Sheet Metal Estimator - West Coast Leading Subcontractor – HVAC/Ductwork
Salary: $20 – $25 per hour
A Privately Held HVAC Sheet‑Metal Manufacturer A privately held HVAC sheet‑metal manufacturer based in Southern California, this company produces rectangular, round/spiral, and flat‑oval duct and fittings, along with welded grease duct and specialty components for exhaust and dust‑collection systems. With a multi‑site footprint across the Western U.S. and beyond, the team supports mechanical contractors with quick‑turn stock options and around‑the‑clock deliveries for project work. A modern fabrication platform—featuring multiple coil lines, spiral machines, CNC laser and plasma cutting, spiral elbow forming, and robotic welding—pairs with broad material capability (galvanized, stainless, aluminum, black iron, and coated steels) and industry‑standard connection systems to deliver everything from fast‑track TI packages to large, multi‑phase institutional, commercial, and industrial scopes.
Why You’ll Love It Here Join a regional leader in sheet metal & duct fabrication that’s scaling fast and investing heavily in people, process, and tech. You’ll get hands‑on mentorship, modern tools, and exposure to high‑visibility commercial, healthcare, and campus builds across the Western U.S. (real work, not busywork).
No travel – in‑house estimating
Competitive pay + 100% paid benefits (full package including PTO and 401(k) with 4% match)
Growth path: clear steps to Senior Estimator or Project Management roles
Hands‑on learning environment
Culture that promotes on merit and mastery, not just tenure
What You’ll Do
Own the fundamentals of takeoff on ductwork and accessories: read plans/specs, quantify materials & labor, and build clean estimate worksheets.
Contribute to live bids with senior estimator review; assist in preparing scopes, alternates, and inclusions/exclusions.
Partner with fabrication, PM, and field to validate production hours and logistics so estimates reflect how work really gets built.
Use modern tools (Bluebeam + Excel; exposure to leading sheet‑metal estimating platforms—training provided).
What You’ll Learn Here
Fabrication‑first estimating: how shop standards, production rates, and installation logistics drive cost.
How large projects move RFIs, VE options, and bid‑day strategy with GCs/owners.
Data hygiene & speed templates and assemblies that make your numbers trusted by operations.
Growth Path
Advance from Estimator I → Estimator II → Senior Estimator, with options to specialize (healthcare/DSA/campus), mentor interns, or pivot into precon or PM.
You’ll Thrive If You Have
0–2 years in construction (internships, shop/field time, design/drafting, or estimating all count) or a related degree/certificate (CM, ME/MEP, drafting, or welding/fab).
Curiosity about how things are made; you reverse‑engineer drawings and like tightening assumptions.
Beginner proficiency with Bluebeam and Excel; exposure to any MEP/sheet‑metal estimating tool is a plus.
Clear, concise communication, and you’re not afraid to ask “why.”
