HVAC Designer/Estimator

HVAC Designer / Estimator (Wrightsoft)
Charlotte, NC

Andy Lewis Heating and Air is a family-owned and operated HVAC company that has been serving the Charlotte and surrounding areas for over 20 years. We are growing and looking for a skilled HVAC Designer / Estimator who takes pride in precision, efficiency, and delivering accurate, buildable designs.

This role is ideal for someone who understands the full lifecycle—from load calculations to final estimate—and wants to be part of a company that values quality work, strong systems, and long-term stability.

What We Offer:

• Competitive salary based on experience
• Bonus potential based on performance and accuracy
• Paid vacation and holidays
• Health, dental, and disability insurance (short- and long-term)
• Possible company phone and potential company vehicle based on role
• Stable, family-owned company with long-term growth opportunities
• Supportive team environment with strong leadership and clear expectations
• Opportunity for Growth

What You’ll Do:

• Perform residential and light commercial HVAC load calculations using Wrightsoft (Manual J, S, and D)
• Design duct layouts that are practical, code-compliant, and field-ready
• Prepare accurate and competitive job estimates using Excel and internal pricing tools
• Review plans, specs, and field conditions to ensure designs are feasible and efficient
• Collaborate with install teams, project managers, and leadership to ensure smooth project execution
• Continuously improve estimating accuracy and design standards

What We’re Looking For:

• Proven experience in HVAC design, duct layout, and estimating
• Strong working knowledge of Wrightsoft (required)
• Advanced proficiency in Excel (ability to build and manage estimating sheets)
• Solid understanding of HVAC systems, airflow, and installation practices
• Detail-oriented with a high level of accuracy
• Self-motivated and results-driven
• Ability to manage multiple projects and deadlines without sacrificing quality
• Strong problem-solving and decision-making skills
• Valid driver’s license and clean background

Nice to Have:

• Experience with new construction and retrofit applications
• Familiarity with local code requirements and permitting
• Experience working directly with builders or project managers

Why This Role Stands Out:
You won’t be stuck pushing out cookie-cutter designs. We value thoughtful layouts, accurate numbers, and giving our install teams what they actually need to succeed in the field. If you care about doing the job right the first time, you’ll fit in well here.
