Job Description

Insight Global is seeking an Estimator to join an MEP in Wilmington, CA. This position will be on the service team doing service and maintenance of systems. This role will focus on estimating service, repair, retrofit, and replacement projects for multifamily residential properties. Unlike new construction estimating, this position is responsible for evaluating existing building systems, identifying deficiencies, developing cost estimates, and preparing customer proposals for HVAC, plumbing, and electrical service work. The Estimator will conduct site visits, assess existing mechanical, plumbing, and electrical systems, collaborate with operations and field teams, and prepare accurate pricing for retrofit and maintenance-related projects. The ideal candidate has strong experience with HVAC and plumbing systems and understands how to evaluate existing conditions, develop solutions, and present professional proposals to customers. Experience within multifamily residential properties is highly preferred, although commercial building experience will also be considered. This is a fully onsite position based in Wilmington, CA, requiring attendance in the office five days per week.
