Construction Estimator – Fireproofing, Insulation & Firestopping (Remote)

Location: Remote – Philippines or Latin America preferred
Schedule: Full-time | 40 hours/week | U.S. Business Hours (EST or CST)
Compensation: $1,700–$2,300/month USD (based on experience & region)

The Role

We’re hiring a fireproofing, insulation, and firestopping takeoff specialist to join a fast-moving, detail-driven commercial construction team. You’ll review plans, isolate relevant sheets, and produce clean, accurate takeoffs using Edge Estimating Software—with a focus on scopes that require sharp attention to detail and code compliance.

You’ll need strong instincts, trade experience, and the ability to think like a field guy, not just a keyboard estimator. We’re not looking for a spreadsheet jockey—we’re building a long-term team player who gets it.

What You’ll Do

Review and interpret construction drawings and specs for interior insulation, fireproofing, and firestopping scopes (no EFIS or exterior work)
Perform digital takeoffs in The Edge Estimating (PlanSwift or Bluebeam knowledge also helpful)
For fireproofing: determine required UL hourly ratings and spray thicknesses per steel size and UL design
For firestopping: isolate penetrations, joint systems, and rated walls/floors—ensure compliant materials and assemblies
Mark up plans with clear legends and field-ready annotations
Assist with pricing, bid prep, and proposal documentation
Flag scope gaps or unclear details for RFIs as needed
Keep project files organized and ready for handoff

Must-Have Experience

2–3+ years in construction estimating, preferably in fireproofing, firestopping, insulation, or similar trades
Strong command of Edge Estimating Software
Confident interpreting structural and architectural plans
Familiarity with UL designs, firestopping systems (like Isolotek/3M), and standard application details
Highly organized, clear communicator, and self-driven
Able to work during EST or CST hours

Bonus If You Have

Prior experience specifically with batt, spray foam, and mineral wool insulation
Understanding of penetration/joint firestopping systems (FF, WJ, etc.)
Background working with U.S. commercial subcontractors
Spanish/English bilingual (LATAM) or strong written English (PH)

Compensation & Equipment

Monthly Salary: $1,700–$2,300 USD depending on experience
Secure company laptop may be provided
