Turner & Townsend is seeking a skilled Mechanical Estimator to join our growing team. This role is ideal for a professional with a solid background in mechanical estimating, particularly within commercial, data center, industrial, or high-tech construction environments. While mechanical estimating is the core focus, familiarity with electrical and plumbing systems (MEP) is a strong advantage.

Responsibilities:

• Prepare mechanical cost estimates across all project phases—from conceptual through detailed design.
• Deliver accurate and timely cost plans and estimates to support client decision-making.
• Collaborate with design and project teams to provide cost input during feasibility studies, procurement planning, and value engineering.
• Support the procurement process, including bid analysis and contract documentation.
• Conduct cost checks, valuations, and change control processes throughout the project lifecycle.
• Assist in producing monthly cost reports and final accounts.
• Coordinate with subcontractors and suppliers to validate pricing and scope.
• Contribute to the improvement of estimating tools, templates, and best practices.
• Analyze historical cost data and market trends to inform future estimates.
• Support risk and contingency analysis during preconstruction phases.
• Review design documents and specifications to ensure alignment with cost estimates.
• Participate in internal and external estimate reviews and presentations.
• Maintain organized documentation of estimates, assumptions, and pricing sources.
• Collaborate with project managers and engineers to refine scope and budget alignment.
• SOX control responsibilities may be part of this role, which are to be adhered to where applicable. 

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Construction Management, Quantity Surveying, or a related technical field.
• 4–7 years of experience in mechanical estimating for large-scale commercial or high-tech construction projects.
• Strong understanding of HVAC, piping, and plumbing systems as they relate to building construction.
• Familiarity with electrical and plumbing estimating (MEP) is a plus.
• Proficient in estimating software and tools (e.g., Microsoft Excel, AutoCAD, Navisworks, Bluebeam).
• Strong communication, presentation, and organizational skills.
• Ability to work independently and collaboratively in a fast-paced environment.
• Knowledge of construction methods, materials, and industry best practices.
• Experience managing multiple estimates and deadlines simultaneously.
