📌 We’re Hiring: Mechanical HVAC Estimator
Location: Philippines-Based Remote Role
Role Summary:
We are seeking an experienced Mechanical HVAC Estimator to join a growing Brisbane-based HVAC company.
This role is ideal for someone who understands how HVAC systems are actually installed onsite - not just someone who can measure drawings. You'll be responsible for preparing complete commercial air-conditioning estimates from start to finish, including take-offs, supplier pricing, labour allowances, risk assessment, and estimate preparation.
Type of Work Estimated
The role will involve estimating commercial air-conditioning works including:
• VRV and VRF systems
• Ceiling Cassette systems
• Wall-Mounted Split Systems
• Multi-Head Split Systems
• Commercial Fit-Out Air Conditioning
• Replacement & Upgrade Works
• Refrigerant Pipework
• Condensate Drainage
• Controls and Accessories
Key Responsibilities
• Review drawings, specifications, scopes, and tender documents
• Complete equipment, material, and pipework take-offs
• Measure refrigerant pipework, drainage, cable routes, supports, and access requirements
• Obtain supplier pricing and subcontractor quotations
• Estimate labour based on realistic installation requirements
• Apply pricing, margin, and risk allowances
• Prepare complete estimate packages for review
• Identify missing information, risks, exclusions, and clarifications
• Maintain accurate estimating records and documentation
Required Experience
Applicants must have:
• Mechanical Engineering, HVAC qualification, or equivalent practical HVAC experience
• Practical onsite HVAC installation experience
• HVAC estimating experience
• Strong knowledge of VRV/VRF systems and commercial air-conditioning installations
• Ability to read and interpret mechanical drawings and specifications
• Experience completing accurate take-offs
• Understanding of refrigerant pipework, condensate drainage, commissioning, and installation sequencing
• Strong attention to detail and written English skills
• Ability to work independently and meet deadlines
Preferred Experience
Experience with the following will be highly regarded:
• Australian HVAC or mechanical services project experience
• Commercial fit-outs, retail, hospitality, healthcare, education, or office projects
• Experience with Daikin, Mitsubishi Electric, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Fujitsu, Panasonic, or similar systems
• Bluebeam, PlanSwift, CostX, AutoCAD, Revit, Simpro, or similar software
• Mechanical services, refrigeration, or cold room estimating experience
What Success Looks Like:
• Producing accurate and commercially sound estimates
• Identifying risks, omissions, and access challenges
• Preparing complete estimate packages with minimal supervision
• Reducing the estimating workload of the Sales Manager
• Becoming capable of independently managing estimates after training
This Role Is NOT:
• Data entry
• Basic quantity take-offs only
• Suitable for someone without practical HVAC installation knowledge
Recruitment Process:
Shortlisted applicants will complete a practical estimating assessment involving drawing review, take-offs, labour estimation, exclusions, supplier pricing assumptions, and scope analysis.
Working Conditions:
• Fixed schedule: Mon–Fri, 6:00 AM – 3:00 PM (PH time)
• No overtime; follows Australian public holidays
• Independent contractor role
Salary: ₱60,000 – ₱90,000/month (depending on experience)
