Project Estimator-Level 1

Project Estimator-Level 1

Project Estimator-Level 1 is based in Juno Beach, FL. This is a 1-year contract assignment (W-2). You will help prepare and manage cost estimates for multiple projects, focusing on accuracy, feasibility, and agreement on organizational goals. The Project Estimator I will work with different departments to ensure project estimates are comprehensive and consider all project variables. Daily responsibilities include leading and preparing estimates, the development of pricing models, and evaluating new technological innovations in the industry.

You can grow their skillset, as our team also works on a large portfolio of technologies including wind, utility scale solar, distributed solar, energy storage, transmission and distribution lines, substations, water treatment, 5G & fiber, hydrogen, pipelines, and fossil generation. You will report to the onsite Manager.

Prepare detailed project cost estimates, including conceptual, preliminary, and definitive estimates for all projects. Perform conceptual engineering design preliminary construction plans to support estimating scope quantification. Collaborate with engineering, procurement, and construction teams to gather and analyze project specifications, drawings, and other documentation to prepare accurate estimates. Perform value engineering analysis to identify cost-saving opportunities while maintaining quality and project requirements.

Maintain estimation tools, databases, and methodologies to enhance the accuracy and efficiency of cost estimating processes. Conduct risk assessments and develop contingency plans to account for potential project uncertainties. Present cost estimates and value engineering options to senior management, project team members, and clients. Coordinate with contractors, subcontractors, and suppliers to obtain competitive pricing and ensure the best value. Track project costs and variances throughout the project lifecycle, updating estimates to reflect changes in scope, or market conditions.

Ensure compliance with company policies, industry standards, and regulatory requirements in all estimating activities.
