Cost Estimator

Responsibilities

• Collaborate with project sponsors/stakeholder groups to understand scope of a project.
• Utilize pre-existing parametric estimating tool to generate parametric estimates in accordance with AACE estimate class requirements for substation and transmission projects based on conceptual scope of work for the project.
• Utilize existing estimating templates to generate assembly-level cost estimates for projects based on detailed scope of work and 30-50% engineering design.
• Facilitate the identification of changes to the parametric estimating tool to provide data in a more usable format for subsequent use in the project schedule and cost management.
• Utilize estimates vs actuals cost comparisons from projects to refresh & update cost data in parametric estimating tool.
• Revision of existing cost data in parametric estimating tool, to assist with structuring of the enterprise estimating system and work with developers for implementation.
• Improve coordination of estimates to avoid duplication of estimates, improve ownership, and avoid overlaps in estimate scope.
• Train estimators on revised tools, especially for contracted estimators and assist with development of standard work instructions to standardize project scoping and estimating.
• Able to use estimating software to generate cost estimates and to go through the QAQC process.
• Have the flexibility to attend client and company meetings as needed.

Required Qualifications

• Minimum 5 years of professional cost estimating experience, in developing estimate packages for design & construction.
• Industry experience estimating construction projects for energy utilities and/or above/below grade civil estimating.
• Proficient in Microsoft Office Suite of products
• Proficient in AACE Cost Engineering Practices and TCM framework.
• Bachelor’s/Master’s Degree in Electrical Engineering, Civil Engineering, or related fields
• Familiarity with Enterprise Estimating Systems like Sage is a plus.
• Familiarity with process improvement methodologies like Lean & Six Sigma is a plus.
