Residential HVAC Estimator (Tract & Custom New Construction) - 21084

• Produce rapid, accurate material take-offs and cost estimates for high-volume residential developments using established master pricing sheets.
• Maintain consistency and speed across repeat plans and builder master programs.

• Perform full load calculations and system designs for custom residential builds using variable-speed technology and advanced zoning.
• Translate architectural plans into buildable, value-engineered mechanical designs.

• Run complete Manual J (load), Manual S (equipment), and Manual D (duct) calculations.
• Apply Texas energy codes (IECC) and relevant municipal requirements to ensure compliant designs. (Reference materials and internal review provided.)

• Coordinate with production builder purchasing agents and custom home builders to clarify scope, value-engineer systems, and finalize bids.
• Communicate clearly and proactively with the U.S. team across time zones.

• Review field conditions, framing challenges, and duct-routing feasibility using plans, photos, and video walkthroughs provided by the on-site U.S. team. (No physical site visits required.)

• 3+ years estimating residential HVAC systems for new construction.
• Proficiency with ACCA-approved load calculation software (e.g., Wrightsoft, Elite Software) and digital take-off tools.
• Strong working knowledge of major residential HVAC brands (Carrier, Trane, Lennox) and variable-capacity or multi-zone systems.
• Confident running Manual J, S, and D calculations independently.
• Strong written and verbal English and reliable overlap with U.S. Central Time hours.

• Prior experience estimating for U.S. residential new construction.
• Familiarity with U.S. energy codes / IECC (Texas-specific a plus; willingness and ability to learn our local requirements is essential).
• Experience supporting both high-volume production work and custom design in the same role.

You are:

• Highly organized and process-driven, comfortable moving fast without sacrificing accuracy.
• Able to pivot between repetitive high-volume take-offs and analytical, from-scratch custom design.
• Proactive and self-directed in a remote setting, you flag questions early rather than guess.
• A clear communicator who can collaborate with a U.S. team asynchronously and keep bids moving.
