Your Role: Takeoff Estimator (MEP/HVAC)

Responsibilities:

• Perform accurate quantity takeoffs from construction drawings, focusing on MEP and HVAC systems
• Produce clearly marked-up drawings with visual annotations that meet supervisor approval standards
• Prepare supporting Excel calculations for each line item, including measurements and quantity summaries
• Cross-reference Bill of Quantities (BOQ) items against construction drawings to ensure completeness and accuracy
• Organize deliverables systematically by item number and section for streamlined project billing
• Flag any unclear or unidentifiable items for the client's review rather than making assumptions

Requirements:

• Proven experience performing quantity takeoffs on small to medium commercial construction projects
• Hands-on experience with MEP systems, particularly HVAC components (dampers, ducts, diffusers, etc.)
• Proficiency in Planswift or equivalent takeoff software
• Comfortable working in metric units
• Strong attention to detail and ability to produce supervisor-ready deliverables
• Ability to work independently with minimal day-to-day guidance

Scope:

• Initial focus on HVAC takeoffs (approximately 250 items across 15 drawings)
• Quantity-only takeoffs — no pricing or cost estimation required
• Deliverables include marked-up drawing PDFs and Excel quantity calculations per item
• Potential expansion into architectural, concrete, and other discipline takeoffs based on performance
• Part-time engagement (20 hours per week), with possibility of extended multi-month commitment
• All work performed remotely, reporting directly to the client
