Senior Estimator - Power Generation

Immediate Need:
Senior Estimator for Combined-Cycle and Gas-Fired Power Work

Location: Birmingham, AL (on-site; limited hybrid)

Industry: Heavy Industrial Construction – Power Generation

Employment Type: Full-Time, Direct Hire

Our client is a large, self-perform heavy industrial contractor building power generation, pulp & paper, metals and chemical facilities. Its power group is growing, and the estimating team needs an experienced estimator to add technical depth.

The Senior Estimator builds conceptual through detailed estimates for power projects of $5M to $100M+. You will price the work the way it is actually built in the field.

• Running quantity takeoffs across mechanical, piping, electrical, structural steel and civil scopes.
• Pricing heavy equipment installation: turbines, HRSGs, boilers, condensers, pumps and BOP.
• Developing labor productivity and crew assumptions for self-perform craft.
• Gathering and leveling vendor and subcontractor quotes.
• Working with operations on constructability, risk and bid strategy.

• 7–10+ years of heavy industrial estimating experience.
• Power generation estimating experience. Combined-cycle is preferred; gas-fired, simple-cycle, cogeneration/CHP or HRSG work also counts.
• Multi-discipline estimating ability (mechanical, piping, electrical/E&I).
• Proficiency in Timberline/Sage Estimating, MC2, Win Est or similar.

• Full combined-cycle plant estimates (CT, HRSG, steam turbine and BOP).
• Pulp & paper, metals or chemical estimating.
• Self-perform contractor background.

Not a fit: Renewables-only (solar/wind) estimators are not the target for this search.

• Relocation assistance available.

Roughly 70–80% in the office, on a collaborative team that works closely with operations and project leadership.
