The Indirects Estimator develops the construction indirect cost for large EPC estimates, from early conceptual pricing through Class 3 submittals and leadership reviews. The role builds and maintains the project indirects workbook, converts quantities, schedule and staffing inputs into indirect hours and cost, and keeps the indirects consistent with the professional services staffing plan and the estimate summary. The estimator reconciles changes between estimate revisions, benchmarks results against other projects, and presents the indirects in management reviews.

The role works closely with construction, site management, commissioning and start-up, subcontracts, procurement and the project management team.

This position is designated as part-time telework per our global telework policy and may require at least three days of in-person attendance per week at the assigned office or project. Weekly in-person schedules will be determined by the individual and their supervisor, in consultation with functional or project leadership.
