Senior Estimator - Guam

Job Description

Our client is looking for a Senior Estimator to lead pricing and estimating efforts for complex federal and DoD construction projects. This role is ideal for an experienced estimator with deep knowledge of federal procurement, strong technical judgment, and the ability to develop competitive, compliant, and defensible cost proposals.

The Senior Estimator plays a critical role in pursuit strategy, subcontractor engagement, and executive-level pricing decisions across Design-Bid-Build, Design-Build, IDIQ/MATOC, and negotiated procurements.

• Lead detailed, bottom‑up cost estimates for federal construction projects, including labor, materials, equipment, subcontract scopes, indirects, escalation, contingencies, and risk allowances.
• Interpret and apply RFP/RFQ instructions, drawings, specifications, wage determinations, and federal contract requirements.
• Develop pricing strategies aligned with federal acquisition methods (best value, LPTA, negotiated procurements).
• Solicit, analyze, and qualify subcontractor and supplier pricing for scope completeness and compliance.
• Support federal proposal efforts by contributing to pricing narratives, basis of estimate (BOE), and price reasonableness documentation.
• Identify cost, scope, and schedule risks and communicate mitigation strategies to senior leadership.
• Maintain estimating quality controls to minimize risk, omissions, and pricing exposure.
• Mentor junior estimators and support continuous improvement of estimating practices.
