Prepares, reviews, and presents Electrical and Instrumentation discipline estimates for specific project proposal activities. Provides estimating assistance and guidance to projects, develops conceptual estimates, and performs cost analysis. Responsible for assisting in the development of discipline/service estimators, developing, and updating historical databases, and assisting in the development of department procedures. Provides direction to others on project/program level tasks. This is a full-time remote role with travel to support projects and proposal efforts as needed.

The following duties are performed with respect to Electrical and Instrumentation Estimate Execution, the process of conducting an evaluation of services and/or capital cost elements of a project or effort as defined by an agreed-upon scope that will be used to make key management decisions:

• Prepares and reviews capital cost estimates. Develops productivity analysis of construction operations and verifies results by manpower and crew analysis of work operations by craft.
• Works with other disciplines and functions to collect all necessary data on scope and quantities to prepare an accurate estimate in specialty discipline areas. Performs analysis on functional input.
• Participates in establishing pricing structures to be applied to quantities for estimates. Ensures that estimate is in line with market trends and pricing.
• Manages variations and changes to base estimate and ensures that implications of changes are evaluated before finalizing the solution.
• Influences aspects of the specification in the interests of cost rationalization.

The following duties are performed with respect to Foundation Development, the process of establishing and maintaining technical capabilities for personnel, cost databases and tools:

• Takes ownership of sections of the estimating database(s) summarizing, updating, and maintaining databases for discipline estimates and historical cost data.
• Supports the development of estimating standards and procedures.
• Generates and retrieves reports in the appropriate software application, understands and summarizes the data in the required presentation for management reviews.

The following duties are performed with respect to Project/Site Management Support, the process of providing support services to projects/sites in the form of external cost analysis and estimate reviews in addition to estimate-to-budget conversions:

• Prepares cost studies utilizing historical data, statistical analysis and cost and quantity comparisons. Innovates new techniques as required to meet specific needs.
• Assists projects in identifying scope deviations.
• Analyzes cost/price data from suppliers/subcontractors and direct work with the ability to generate comparative data (historical costs and other metrics) as part of the cost/price analysis.
• Participates in and contributes to Value Engineering studies.

• Requires bachelor's degree (or international equivalent) and 8-10 years of relevant experience or 12-14 years of relevant work experience

• Must be able to complete and pass a pre-employment drug screen and background check including verification of employment and education.
• Must be a US citizen per contract support requirements.
• Significant experience in electrical and instrumentation estimating.
• Demonstrated advanced understanding of Estimating core processes and procedures.
• Extensive knowledge and experience in EPC estimating practices and methods, including demonstrated ability to organize, perform, and present cost estimating products with minimum supervision.
• Skilled in the preparation of electrical discipline estimates.
• In-depth knowledge of project schedules and ability to predict/extrapolate costs curves based on the experience of scheduled activities/cost correlation analysis.
• Knowledge of craft labor performance, equipment production and derivation of composite craft/category…
