Job Description

At Ayers, we’re building something different. We’re a growing HVAC and plumbing company focused on quality work, real career growth, and a team-first culture. Whether you’re in the field or the office, we believe in giving our people the tools, training, and trust to succeed. Our mission is simple; to be a place our employees love working for, a company our customers love working with, and a business that is the envy of our competitors.

We are seeking a detail-oriented Project Estimator with strong experience in HVAC and plumbing to support our growing commercial installation team. This role is key to our success — turning plans, specs, and ideas into accurate, profitable estimates that set our field crews up for success. You’ll collaborate closely with our lead Estimator, project managers, and the procurement team to deliver bids that are both competitive and realistic. The role will be best performed in-office, from either our Van Wert, OH or Cleveland, OH offices. 

What You'll Do:

    • Prepare detailed cost estimates for commercial HVAC and plumbing projects, including labor, materials, equipment, and subcontractor costs.
    • Review plans, specifications, and proposals to determine the full scope of work.
    • Work with vendors and the procurement team to obtain accurate material pricing and lead times.
    • Develop and maintain unit cost data, bid templates, and pricing libraries.
    • Collaborate with project managers to ensure estimates align with field conditions and production rates.
    • Participate in project handoff meetings to ensure a smooth transition from estimating to execution.
    • Identify cost-saving opportunities and value-engineering options.
    • Track and analyze project performance to refine future estimates.
    • Support pre-construction and budgeting efforts for design-build projects.
    • Embrace technology and innovation — including AI-based tools and estimating platforms — to increase accuracy, speed, and collaboration across teams.
  • What We Offer:

    • Competitive Pay: Starting salary in the range of $60,000 - $85,000 based on experience.
    • Great Benefits: Comprehensive health, dental and vision insurance
    • Time Off: Generous paid vacation and paid holidays
    • Opportunities for Growth: Being a key hire to lead a department in a fast-growing company.
  • What You Bring:
    • 3+ years of estimating experience in commercial HVAC and/or plumbing required.
    • Strong knowledge of mechanical systems, ductwork, piping, and construction drawings.
    • Ability to read and interpret blueprints, schematics, and specifications.
    • Proficiency with estimating software (e.g., Trimble, Bluebeam, FastPIPE/FastDUCT, or similar).
    • Comfort with technology and a willingness to adopt new tools , including AI-driven systems that enhance accuracy and workflow efficiency.
    • Excellent attention to detail and organizational skills.
    • Strong communication and collaboration skills.
    • Ability to balance multiple bids and deadlines in a fast-paced environment.

    Physical Demands and Work Environment:

    • Continually required to stand, walk, sit and utilize hand and finger dexterity.
    • Continually required to talk or hear.
    • The employee must occasionally lift and/or move over 50 pounds


  • Compensation details: 60000-85000 Yearly Salary
