We build AI-powered takeoff software for industrial contractors. Our first product handles piping and P&ID takeoff. Structural steel is next, starting with pipe racks and expanding into platforms, access structures, and equipment foundations. We're hiring a structural steel estimator to help us build it right.
What you'd be doing
- You'll estimate real structural steel scope, validate AI-generated quantities against your own manual takeoffs, and tell our engineering team where the software misses.
- You'll work from actual bid packages, GA drawings, steel details, and connection schedules, not hypotheticals.
- You'll also join customer demos and pilot projects, walking contractors through our output and translating between what the software produces and what an estimator needs to price a job.
What we're looking for
- 3+ years estimating structural steel for industrial projects (petrochemical, refinery, power, or heavy industrial preferred)
- Comfortable reading general arrangement drawings, steel framing plans, connection details, and anchor bolt layouts
- Experience with quantity takeoff for wide flange, HSS, plate, grating, handrail, and miscellaneous metals
- Familiar with how steel tonnage gets priced: fabrication rates, erection labor, bolting vs. welding differences, coatings
- Willingness to sit with software engineers and explain your process, your shortcuts, and where your judgment fills gaps that drawings don't cover
Nice to have
- Experience estimating pipe rack structures specifically (our first structural module starts there)
- Familiarity with Bluebeam, PlanSwift, or similar digital takeoff tools
- Background in both piping and structural estimation (common at mid-market industrial contractors where one estimator handles both)
- AISC, ASPE, or equivalent certification
What we offer
- Early-stage equity opportunity
- A product team that builds from estimator input, not assumptions
- The chance to define how AI handles structural steel takeoff before anyone else does
