Commercial Construction Estimator

at Acousta Therm Corporation in Essex Jct, Vermont, United States

Job Description

Join one of Vermont's leading commercial mechanical insulation contractors.

Acousta Therm Corporation has been serving Vermont and Northern New England for over 60 years, providing mechanical insulation solutions for commercial, industrial, healthcare, education, manufacturing, and institutional projects.

We're looking for a motivated, detail-oriented Commercial Construction Estimator to join our growing team. This position is primarily focused on estimating while also providing project support after projects are awarded. The successful candidate will work closely with company leadership and have the opportunity to grow into additional responsibilities over time.

Whether you're currently estimating for an HVAC contractor, plumbing contractor, mechanical contractor, sheet metal contractor, general contractor, or another commercial trade, we'd love to talk with you.

• Review construction drawings, specifications, and bid documents

• Perform quantity takeoffs and prepare accurate project estimates

• Prepare detailed bid proposals and scope clarifications

• Solicit and evaluate supplier and subcontractor pricing

• Attend pre-bid meetings when required

• Track bids and maintain estimating spreadsheets and project files

• Coordinate with ownership throughout the bidding process

• Assist with project turnover after award

• Review and prepare submittals and shop drawings

Mechanical insulation experience is a plus—but it is absolutely not required.

If you have experience in commercial construction and understand how to read plans, specifications, and prepare estimates, we'll teach you the insulation side of the business.

We're looking for someone who:

• Takes pride in producing accurate, organized work

• Is confident reading plans and specifications

• Enjoys solving problems and thinking ahead

• Communicates professionally with customers, vendors, and project teams

• Wants to build a long-term career with a stable, family-owned company

• Is interested in growing professionally and taking on additional responsibility over time

• Family-owned company with more than 60 years of success

• Stable, year-round commercial work

• Competitive salary based on experience

• Health insurance

• Paid vacation and holidays

• Retirement plan opportunities

• Collaborative team environment

• Opportunity to work directly with company leadership

• Real opportunity for long-term career growth

This is more than an estimating position. We're looking for someone who wants to become an important part of our team and help shape the future of our company.

Location: Essex Junction, VT

Compensation: Competitive salary based on experience.
