Senior Cost Estimator

This is a fully remote position, open to applicants in Ohio.

📋 Description

• Partner with project sponsors and stakeholder groups to comprehend the project's scope.

• Employ an existing parametric estimating tool to produce parametric estimates that meet AACE estimate class requirements for substation and transmission projects, based on the conceptual scope of work.

• Use established estimating templates to create assembly-level cost estimates for projects based on a detailed scope of work and 30-50% engineering design.

• Facilitate the identification of necessary modifications to the parametric estimating tool to present data in a more user-friendly format for future use in project scheduling and cost management.

• Utilize estimates versus actuals cost comparisons from projects to refresh and update cost data in the parametric estimating tool.

• Revise current cost data in the parametric estimating tool to aid in the structuring of the enterprise estimating system and collaborate with developers for its implementation.

• Enhance the coordination of estimates to prevent duplication, improve accountability, and avoid overlaps in estimate scope.

• Train estimators on updated tools, particularly for contracted estimators, and assist in developing standard work instructions to standardize project scoping and estimating.

• Demonstrate the ability to utilize estimating software for generating cost estimates and navigate through the QAQC process.

• Maintain flexibility to attend client and company meetings as required.

⛳️ Requirements

• At least 10 years of professional experience in cost estimating, specifically in developing estimate packages for design and construction.

• Relevant experience in estimating construction projects for energy utilities and/or above/below grade civil estimating.

• Proficient in the Microsoft Office Suite.

• Knowledgeable in AACE Cost Engineering Practices and TCM framework.

• Bachelor’s or Master’s Degree in Electrical Engineering, Civil Engineering, or related fields.

• Familiarity with Enterprise Estimating Systems such as Sage is advantageous.

• Awareness of process improvement methodologies, including Lean and Six Sigma, is a plus.

🏝️ Benefits

• Competitive remuneration and benefits that align with industry standards, with no limitations for qualified candidates.
