Review mechanical, electrical, and controls drawings, specifications, addenda, and RFIs to determine complete BAS scope.

  • Identify control system architecture including controllers, supervisory devices, network topology, and integration points.
  • Clarify scope gaps, exclusions, and assumptions with internal teams before bid submission.
  • Quantity Takeoffs & Cost Estimating

    • Perform accurate takeoffs for DDC controllers, field devices, panels, cabling, network components, and power supplies.

  • Develop labor estimates based on Kelso productivity standards for installation, programming, and commissioning.
  • Build comprehensive cost models including materials, subcontractor pricing, equipment rental, and contingency.
  • Vendor & Subcontractor Coordination

    • Request and evaluate pricing from approved vendors and subcontractors.

  • Maintain updated pricing databases and lead-time information.
  • Proposal & Bid Preparation

    • Prepare complete proposal packages including scope narratives, BOM, alternatives, value‑engineering options, and cost summaries.

  • Support sales during pre‑bid walks, jobsite evaluations, and client discussions.
  • Technical & Code Compliance

    • Ensure estimates align with ASHRAE standards, energy codes, and Kelso Building Services design practices.

  • Coordinate with internal engineering resources as needed.
  • Internal Collaboration & Continuous Improvement

    • Support project managers on post‑award handoffs.

  • Identify opportunities to refine Kelso estimating tools, templates, and databases.
  • Provide guidance to junior estimators and assist with training initiatives.

    • Required Qualifications

  • Associate or bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering, Electrical Engineering, Construction Management, or equivalent experience in HVAC / BAS.
  • 3–5 years' experience in HVAC / BAS estimating or controls project estimating.
  • Strong knowledge of HVAC systems, DDC controls, sequences of operation, and reading MEP drawings.
  • Proficiency with Microsoft Excel and standard estimating tools.
  • Ability to handle multiple deadlines, communicate clearly, and produce consistent, accurate estimates.
  • Ability to read plans on site and attend pre‑bid meetings or walkthroughs as needed.

    • Preferred Qualifications

  • Field experience as a controls technician, programmer, or HVAC service technician.
  • Familiarity with Tridium Niagara, Distech, Alerton, Siemens, or similar BAS platforms.
  • Experience estimating labor for wiring, programming, startup, and commissioning tasks.

    • Core Competencies

  • Strong attention to detail.
  • Professional written and verbal communication skills.
  • Ability to collaborate across departments.
  • Organized documentation habits for assumptions, revisions, and estimate notes.

    • Compensation and Benefits :
