Solar Estimator

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate. Must preserve all substantive info. We need to parse the description. Title: Solar Estimator (but we don't output heading for title). Department: Estimation/Preconstruction. Location: Houston, TX. Supervisor: Sr. Director of Estimations. FLSA Status: Exempt. Position Status: Permanent, Full-time. Work Status: (Hybrid/Remote/In-Office):Remote. Then description paragraphs. We need sections: About the role (summary), Responsibilities (Essential Job Function & Responsibilities), Requirements (maybe General Requirements?), Qualifications (Required Qualifications), Skills (maybe list of skills like proficiency in software, communication, etc.), Benefits (none explicit), Pay (none), Schedule (working hours Monday-Friday 8-5 or 9-6, travel up to 20%). Also maybe mention hybrid/remote. We must not create sections with placeholder like "not specified". So only include sections where we have concrete info. Let's extract: About the role: The summary paragraph: "As a Solar Estimator in our utility-scale solar Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) company, you will play a crucial role..." plus company description earlier? The "Description" includes company overview. Probably About the role includes the summary and maybe company overview. We'll include the summary paragraph and maybe the company description as part of About the role. But we must not invent. We'll include the summary paragraph as About the role. Responsibilities: The "Essential Job Function & Responsibilities" section with bullet points (though not bullet in text). We need to convert to

• . The text includes many responsibilities separated by periods. We'll split into logical items. We need to preserve all substantive info; not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to list each responsibility as separate
• . Must be careful not to lose details. Let's extract responsibilities from the text: "Cost Estimation Oversee the preparation of detailed cost estimates for utility-scale solar projects, including materials, labor, equipment, and subcontractor costs. Analyze project specifications, drawings, and other documents to accurately determine project scope and requirements. Utilize historical data, industry benchmarks, and market trends to ensure cost estimates are realistic and competitive. Review and validate subcontractor bids and quotations. Generate and manage project budgets through project award. Develop and manage cost models. Use computer estimating software to create and compile estimates. Develop assemblies in estimating software. Review and redline project design drawings. Understand self-perform best practices and means and methods to build project cost estimates from scratch. Understand job costing methodologies for use in the creation of WBS coded estimates." "Technical Analysis/Due Diligence Analyze and interpret project development documents such as geotechnical reports, pile load tests, hydrology reports, ALTA and topography documents, environmental, cultural, and biological reports. Perform site evaluations and reports to inform project cost. Identify local resources such as water sources, rock quarries, and local suppliers." "Resource Planning Collaborate with project managers to develop resource plans based on estimated costs and project schedules. Identify and quantify resource requirements, including manpower, equipment, and materials. Optimize resource allocation to maximize efficiency and minimize project risks. Develop labor productivity and (installation unit costs where applicable) based on projected site conditions and historical data; Identify local prevailing wage and labor requirements. Identify local and/or state labor ratio requirements." "Risk Management Identify potential risks and uncertainties associated with project estimates. Develop risk mitigation strategies and contingency plans to address identified risks. Conduct sensitivity analysis to assess the impact of various factors on project costs and profitability." "Bid Preparation Prepare comprehensive bid proposals in response to client requests for proposals (RFPs) and invitations to bid (ITBs). Ensure bid proposals are accurate, competitive, and aligned with project requirements and company objectives. Collaborate with business development and sales teams to develop pricing strategies. Participate in bid review meetings. Create subcontractors scopes of work." "Vendor and Supplier Management Maintain relationships with vendors, suppliers, and subcontractors to ensure competitive pricing and timely delivery of materials and services. Evaluate vendor performance and negotiate pricing agreements to achieve cost savings and improve project profitability. Engage with new local contractors for potential use on the project." "Quality Assurance Review project estimates to ensure accuracy, completeness, and compliance with company standards and industry best practices. Implement quality assurance processes to validate project estimates and identify areas for improvement." "General Requirements Have a strong understanding of self-perform constructability; Knowledge of electrical calculations, including wire loss, wire sizing, equipment rating, over-current protection, etc. The ability to generate PVSYST reports is a plus. Have a general understanding of current PV equipment (Tracker, inverter) and impacts of each system; Keep up-to-date on local building codes; Create and maintain project directives; Regular attendance, in accordance with company's attendance policy and supervisory assignment, is an essential job duty requirement for this position Perform other duties and special projects, as assigned by Management" But "General Requirements" maybe part of Requirements or Qualifications. We'll treat as Requirements. Now Required Qualifications section: "Bachelor's Degree and/or relevant certificate from college or technical school. No degree will be considered if relevant experience exceeds 3 years;3+ years relevant experience in estimating and project management, with at least 3 years of experience in utility-scale solar projects. (Construction, energy industry preferred);Experience in similar industries directly related to electrical will be considered. Background in commercial construction, electrical equipment supply, and/or power plant engineering. Strong understanding of Solar and Battery storage installation and Best Practices. Willingness to travel domestically and internationally, up to 20% Strong oral and written communication skills, computer fluency, agile and effective negotiator with clear oral and written explanations required; Work experience in construction-related estimation (solar PV and BESS projects in particular) strongly preferred Proficiency in cost estimation software and tools, such as HCSS HeavyBid or similar applications. Advanced knowledge in Microsoft office Suite, Bluebeam, Smartsheet, and Procore experience is preferred. Self motivated, superior organization skills and attention to detail Assertive, ability to cope with dynamic surroundings; Proven leadership and management skills, with experience leading teams and managing multiple projects simultaneously;" We need to split into Qualifications (education/experience) and Skills (technical/soft). The instruction says use sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we need to map. "Requirements" maybe for general requirements like attendance, etc. "Qualifications" for education/experience. "Skills" for technical/soft skills. Let's extract: Requirements (General Requirements): - Strong understanding of self-perform constructability - Knowledge of electrical calculations, including wire loss, wire sizing, equipment rating, over-current protection, etc. - Ability to generate PVSYST reports is a plus - General understanding of current PV equipment (Tracker, inverter) and impacts of each system - Keep up-to-date on local building codes - Create and maintain project directives - Regular attendance, in accordance with company's attendance policy and supervisory assignment, is an essential job duty requirement - Perform other duties and special projects, as assigned by Management Qualifications (education/experience): - Bachelor's Degree and/or relevant certificate from college or technical school. No degree will be considered if relevant experience exceeds 3 years. - 3+ years relevant experience in estimating and project management, with at least 3 years of experience in utility-scale solar projects. (Construction, energy industry preferred) - Experience in similar industries directly related to electrical will be considered. Background in commercial construction, electrical equipment supply, and/or power plant engineering. - Strong understanding of Solar and Battery storage installation and Best Practices. - Willingness to travel domestically and internationally, up to 20% - Strong oral and written communication skills, computer fluency, agile and effective negotiator with clear oral and written explanations required; - Work experience in construction-related estimation (solar PV and BESS projects in particular) strongly preferred - Proficiency in cost estimation software and tools, such as HCSS HeavyBid or similar applications. - Advanced knowledge in Microsoft office Suite, Bluebeam, Smartsheet, and Procore experience is preferred. - Self motivated, superior organization skills and attention to detail - Assertive, ability to cope with dynamic surroundings; - Proven leadership and management skills, with experience leading teams and managing multiple projects simultaneously; But some of these overlap with skills. We'll decide: Qualifications: education/experience + willingness to travel. Skills: technical/soft skills like communication, software proficiency, organization, leadership, etc. Let's separate: Qualifications: - Bachelor's Degree and/or relevant certificate from college or technical school. No degree will be considered if relevant experience exceeds 3 years. - 3+ years relevant experience in estimating and project management, with at least 3 years of experience in utility-scale solar projects. (Construction, energy industry preferred) - Experience in similar industries directly related to electrical will be considered.

However we already have Requirements section for general requirements. We could put attendance etc there. Let's define: Requirements (General Requirements): - Strong understanding of self-perform constructability - Knowledge of electrical calculations, including wire loss, wire sizing, equipment rating, over-current protection, etc. - Ability to generate PVSYST reports is a plus - General understanding of current PV equipment (Tracker, inverter) and impacts of each system - Keep up-to-date on local building codes - Create and maintain project directives - Regular attendance, in accordance with company's attendance policy and supervisory assignment, is an essential job duty requirement - Perform other duties and special projects, as assigned by Management Qualifications (Education/Experience): - Bachelor's Degree and/or relevant certificate from college or technical school.
