Piping Estimator

Company Description The Takeoff AI develops intelligent software that reads industrial and process piping drawings, automatically marks quantities, and delivers ready-made takeoffs that users can verify instead of building from scratch. Designed specifically for industrial and process contractors, the platform typically reduces takeoff time by about 70%, helping teams bid faster and more accurately. Unlike traditional tools that only automate calculations, The Takeoff AI interprets drawings first and converts them directly into detailed material lists. The company focuses on combining advanced automation with practical field insight to improve estimating workflows and project outcomes for its customers.Role Description The Piping Estimator at The Takeoff AI is a full-time, on-site role based in Bengaluru, Karnataka, India.
