Construction EstimatorDelphi Plumbing and Heating
We're looking for someone with 5+ years of experience as a Construction Estimator. Some estimators crunch numbers. You build the job before it ever breaks ground.
Delphi is a fast-growing heavy mechanical contractor delivering public infrastructure across NYC: wastewater systems, pump stations, utility piping, and complex municipal upgrades. Our team runs lean. Our bids are sharp. And now, we’re hiring a full-time Estimator to lead the charge into new agency work who can accurately analyze project costs and requirements.
This is not a takeoff support role. This is your bid to own the estimating process, from scope reviews and pricing strategy to subcontractor/vendor coordination and margin protection. You’ll be the one turning incomplete drawings and complex specs into clean, confident bids that win.
The ideal candidate will have strong skills in cost estimation, blueprint reading, and construction management. This role requires meticulous attention to detail and excellent problem-solving abilities to ensure accurate project budgeting and planning.
