Learn to read and interpret technical drawings (CAD exposure is a plus).
Work with owner’s manuals, submittals, and other technical documentation.
Break larger projects into smaller tasks and help move them from start to finish.
Support the team with data, documentation, and basic calculations.

Who You Are
Mechanically and technically inclined with strong problem-solving skills.
Comfortable with college-level math.
Curious and eager to learn how systems and projects work behind the scenes.
Thinks outside the box, likes variety in the workday, and uses logical, deductive thinking.
Takes ownership, shows drive and ambition, and follows through on tasks.

Great Backgrounds for This Role
Experience in pump, plumbing, drafting, or similar technical/field service environments.
Any exposure to CAD, technical drawings, or hands-on mechanical work is a big plus.
If you’re looking for a clear path to grow into an Estimator role and enjoy technical, detail-oriented work, we’d love to hear from you. Apply with your resume and a brief note about your mechanical/technical experience.
