  • Strong knowledge of mechanical systems.
  • Excellent analytical, math, and problem-solving skills with strong attention to detail and accuracy.
  • Effective verbal and written communication skills; comfortable presenting estimates and negotiating with subcontractors and clients.
  • Ability to manage multiple bids under tight deadlines and work collaboratively in a fast-paced environment.
  • Familiarity with building codes, safety standards, and construction scheduling; certifications such as OSHA, NICET, or estimating professional credentials are a plus.
