DNM Mechanical Group is hiring a Junior Estimator to prepare cost estimates for our plumbing, HVAC, and mechanical projects. You’ll work alongside our Senior Estimator and Sales team, reporting to the General Manager, and take on larger projects as your experience grows. Trimble experience is preferred.

About us

DNM Mechanical is part of DNM Group, a growing family of trades companies based in Sault Ste. Marie. Our values are simple: safety, our community, and our people. You’ll see them in how we plan, how we treat our crews, and how we show up for clients.

What you’ll be doing

Our Sales team defines the scope, you price it, and Sales takes it to the client. Day to day, that means:

Reviewing drawings and specs, doing quantity takeoffs, and building detailed estimates for materials, labour, and equipment

Pulling in subcontractor and supplier pricing and checking it for accuracy and scope

Spotting risks and scope gaps early, and suggesting cost-saving alternatives where they make sense

Keeping our Trimble cost database, labour units, and pricing up to date

Joining pre-bid meetings and site visits to confirm assumptions

Comparing estimated vs. actual costs after jobs wrap up, so our numbers keep getting sharper

What you bring

Post-secondary education in construction or mechanical engineering technology, quantity surveying, or a related field, or a trade background (306A or 313A)

Up to 2 years of mechanical estimating experience (field experience in the trades is a big plus)

Comfort reading architectural, mechanical, and electrical drawings

Experience with estimating and takeoff software (Trimble, Bluebeam, PlanSwift) and solid Excel skills

A good eye for detail and a real interest in learning from experienced people

Nice to have: 306A or 313A certification, or G1/G2 gas licensing.

Why DNM Mechanical

A clear path to grow, with a Senior Estimator to learn from and larger projects as you’re ready

A safety-first culture

Performance conversations every six months so you always know where you stand

Mostly office-based, with regular site visits to keep you close to the work

Comprehensive benefits, RRSP matching, bonus programs, EAP, and much more!

We do not use AI to assist with applicant screening. This posting is for a current vacancy.
