Project Cost Estimator (Intermediate, Senior, or Principal)
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It's examples, not mandatory to use exactly those. But they say "include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it". So we need to decide if we have content for "About the role". The posting includes "About Us" which is about company, not role. Could we treat that as "About the role"? Probably not. Better to omit About the role if no specific role description. However we have a brief description of role in the essential duties; that's responsibilities. So we can skip About the role.
Thus we will output sections: Responsibilities, Requirements, Skills. Possibly Qualifications if we want to separate education/experience vs qualifications. But we have Requirements covering education, experience, knowledge, etc. Could treat that as Requirements and Qualifications combined. But to avoid thin sections, we can combine into Requirements and maybe Skills.
We need to use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose.
We need to preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep all duties listed. That's a lot. We'll need to convert each duty sentence into list items.
We must not repeat job title as heading. Not include Job ID etc.
We must remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions. The posting doesn't have those obviously.
We need to output only HTML fragment.
Let's extract duties:
From "Essential Duties & Responsibilities Intermediate Project Cost Estimators" then bullet-like sentences separated by semicolons? Actually it's a paragraph with semicolons. We need to split into list items.
Let's list each duty:
1. Independently develops project cost estimates for projects of moderate complexity; identifies cost risks, scope gaps, and estimating inconsistencies; and may lead estimate review discussions with project stakeholders.
2. Develops construction cost estimates for transmission line and substation projects through the evaluation of project plans, specifications, drawings, quantities, labor, equipment, and material costs.
3. Develops detailed project estimates based on ITC standards and site-specific facility drawings.
4. Schedules and leads comprehensive estimate reviews with upper management, project managers, field personnel, and scoping parties to cover scope, review costs, subcontractors, and risk.
5. Provides expert judgment of costs to support competitive bid projects.
6. Assists with the development and maintenance of estimating templates, tools, databases, and related applications to support consistent and reliable project estimates.
7. Provides pre-construction support and technical expertise to project management team as needed.
8. Reviews and evaluates subcontractor quotes for scope gap and process follow up requests.
9. Interfaces and seeks clarification from internal groups such as supply chain, engineering and project management to proactively resolve any inconsistencies in cost estimating data.
10. Conducts field visits as required to assess site requirements and project conditions.
11. Attends pre-and-post bid meetings as required and be able to effectively present information related to cost estimates.
12. Transfers completed estimates and applicable bid documents to the Project Management team in accordance with internal process requirements and established timelines.
13. Supports the development and maintenance of internal cost estimating metrics by providing accurate, timely, and relevant data to drive performance measurement, trend analysis, and informed decision-making.
14. Participates in Capital Committee meetings to aid project owners in the explanation and justification of project costs and variances.
15. Participates in meetings, training, and conferences to strengthen professional knowledge and skills.
Then Senior Project Cost Estimator duties (maybe separate but still responsibilities). We need to include all substantive info. So we should also list senior duties:
- Create conceptual, preliminary, and detailed cost estimates for complex transmission, substation, and generation interconnection projects.
- Performs advanced estimate risk analysis, contingency modeling, and estimate validation to support project funding decisions.
- Develops and enhances estimating methodologies, standards, cost models, and benchmarking practices and related applications to support consistent and reliable project estimates.
- Analyzes historical cost data, market trends, labor productivity factors, and escalation impacts to improve estimate accuracy.
- Serves as the estimating subject matter expert (SME) during project development and stage gate reviews.
- Independently resolves complex estimating issues involving scope uncertainty, constructability challenges, and competing project alternatives.
- Facilitates estimate review workshops and challenge sessions with engineering, project management, construction, permitting, real estate, and supply chain stakeholders.
- Provides technical oversight and quality assurance of estimates prepared by junior estimators.
- Prepares and presents estimate assumptions, risks, and recommendations to department leadership and project sponsors.
- Mentors and trains estimators on estimating methodologies, ITC processes, industry standards, and software tools.
- Supports process improvement initiatives that enhance estimating efficiency, consistency, and reporting capabilities.
Principal Project Cost Estimator duties:
- Leads estimating strategy for complex, high-value, or high-risk capital projects and programs.
- Establishes and enhances cost estimating processes, governance practices, and organizational capabilities within Project Controls.
- Develops and/or assist in the development of enterprise-level estimating frameworks, benchmarking programs, and performance metrics.
- Leads the development of enterprise estimating frameworks, automation initiatives, data governance practices, and benchmarking programs and related applications to support consistent and reliable project estimates.
- Leads cross-functional efforts to improve estimating maturity, data quality, forecasting capability, and cost management integration.
- Evaluates industry trends, market intelligence, labor conditions, material pricing, and emerging technologies to assess impacts on future project costs.
- Represents ITC in industry working groups, benchmarking studies, and professional estimating organizations.
- Leads independent estimate reviews and estimate audits for critical capital projects.
- Provides expert testimony, technical support, and negotiation assistance related to claims, change orders, contract disputes, and regulatory filings.
- Coaches and develops estimators across all levels while serving as a technical mentor for estimating leadership.
- Identifies strategic opportunities to improve estimate accuracy, reduce project risk, and optimize capital investment decisions across the project portfolio.
- Drives implementation and continuous improvement of estimating tools, systems, digital solutions, and data governance practices.
Now Requirements section:
- Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Construction Management or related field or relevant, equivalent experience and/or education.
- Minimum Work Experience Required Intermediate: Minimum of two (2) years of related experience Senior: Minimum of six (6) years of related experience. Principal: Minimum of ten (10) years of related experience.
- Intermediate to advanced knowledge of electrical utilities cost estimating depending on the level of the position.
- Intermediate to advanced knowledge of construction project cash flow forecasting depending on the level of the position.
- Demonstrates strong understanding of project management and project controls processes, including construction scheduling, cost estimating, and cash flow forecasting.
- Possesses sound analytical, problem-solving and documentation skills.
- Communicates effectively, both verbally and in writing, with individuals inside and outside of ITC.
- Intermediate knowledge of Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, Outlook and PowerPoint).
- Works effectively with minimal supervision and in a team environment.
- Possesses electrical and civil Engineering experience/knowledge preferred.
- Possesses Project Management Professional (PMP) certification preferred.
- Experience with Microsoft Power BI preferred.
- Manages multiple priorities and competing deadlines.
- Learns and uses job-specific software.
- Applicants must be authorized to work in the United States for any employer.
- ITC does not sponsor employment visas, such as H-1B or TN visas.
Now Skills section: Could extract skills like analytical, problem-solving, documentation, communication, MS Office, etc. But many are already in Requirements. Might be redundant. Perhaps we can treat Requirements as covering education/experience, and Skills as abilities like analytical, problem-solving, communication, MS Office, etc. But we need to avoid duplication? The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep all info; duplication is okay if it's in the original. But we should not invent. We can split into Requirements (education/experience) and Skills (abilities). However the original lumps them together under "Requirements". If we split, we are not losing info, just reorganizing. That's acceptable as long as we keep all content.
Thus we can have:
Responsibilities
with list of all duties (maybe grouped by level but still list).
Requirements
with list of education/experience requirements.
Skills
with list of skills/knowledge.
We must not include Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
Now we need to ensure we use for prose. There's no prose besides maybe the "About Us" which we omitted. So all content will be in lists.
But we need to ensure we don't miss any prose like "About Us". If we omit it, we are losing substantive information (company description). The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information. So we must include that info somewhere. Could we put it under a section like "About the role"? Not exactly but we could create a section "About the company" but not allowed headings? The examples are just examples; we could use other headings if needed? The instruction: "Use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It says e.g., meaning those are examples, not exclusive list. So we could use other headings if needed, but better to stick to those. However we have substantive info about company that doesn't fit those headings. Could we put it under "About the role"? It's about company but could be considered context of role. Might be acceptable.
Thus we can add a section About the role
with
containing the "About Us" paragraph.
Let's extract that paragraph:
"Make a Power Move - For the Greater Grid: Reliable. Resilient. Ready. As AI innovation, automation and economic growth reshape the way we live and work, the demand on our power infrastructure is growing fast. At ITC, we’re building the greater grid that’s
