• Structural steel associated with pipe racks, skids, and modules
• Perform quantity take-offs using:
• Model-based take-offs from Navisworks
• Orthographic drawings
• Isometric drawings
• Develop labor, material, equipment, and subcontractor pricing aligned with fabrication and modular execution strategies
• Evaluate constructability, fabrication sequencing, and modularization opportunities during the estimating phase

Model & Drawing Review

• Navigate federated models to identify scope, extract quantities and validate model data against drawings and specifications
• Coincide with engineering to resolve discrepancies between models, isometrics, and orthographic views

Cost Development & Risk Assessment

• Apply current market material cost data and production rates specific to shop fabrication and modular assembly
• Solicit and evaluate vendor and subcontractor quotes for pricing and availability
• Ensure compliance with industry standards, codes, and safety regulations
• Identify project risks, assumptions, exclusions, and clarifications
• Develop pricing narratives and scope summaries to support proposal submissions
• Participate in internal estimate reviews and handoffs to project management

Collaboration & Client Support

• Support business development and client pursuits with conceptual, budgetary, and detailed estimates
• Participate in scope alignment meetings with mechanical contractors, EPCs, and owners
• Aid in post-award estimate validation and turnover to operations
• Aid in procurement of material post-award
