Senior Cost Estimator

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

📋 Description

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

• Employ a pre-existing parametric estimating tool to create parametric estimates that adhere to AACE estimate class requirements for substation and transmission projects, based on the conceptual scope of work.

• Utilize established estimating templates to produce assembly-level cost estimates for projects derived from detailed scope of work and 30-50% engineering design.

• Facilitate the identification of modifications needed in the parametric estimating tool to provide data in a more accessible format for future project scheduling and cost management.

• Leverage estimates versus actual cost comparisons from projects to refresh and update cost data within the parametric estimating tool.

• Revise the existing cost data in the parametric estimating tool to assist in structuring 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 estimating scope.

• Provide training for estimators on updated tools, particularly for contracted estimators, and contribute to the development of standard work instructions to standardize project scoping and estimating.

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

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

⛳️ Requirements

• A minimum of 10 years of professional cost estimating experience in developing estimate packages for design and construction projects.

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

• Proficient in Microsoft Office Suite applications.

• Well-versed in AACE Cost Engineering Practices and the TCM framework.

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

• Familiarity with Enterprise Estimating Systems, such as Sage, is an advantage.

• Knowledge 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 a qualified candidate.
