Navy Contractor information

What is a navy contractor?

A Navy Contractor is a civilian or private company employee who provides goods or services to the U.S. Navy under a contractual agreement. These roles vary widely and can include engineering, cybersecurity, logistics, and ship maintenance. Navy Contractors do not serve as active-duty military but play a crucial role in supporting naval operations. They must often meet security clearance requirements and comply with strict government regulations.

What does a navy contractor do?

Daily responsibilities for a Navy Contractor can vary by specialty, but most roles involve supporting Navy operations through tasks aligned with your expertise, such as maintaining equipment, managing systems, or providing technical consulting. Contractors often collaborate closely with uniformed Navy personnel and other contractors to solve problems, implement projects, and ensure compliance with strict operational protocols. Many roles require frequent reporting, documentation, and adherence to safety and security guidelines. Adaptability is key, as priorities can shift with mission needs, and teamwork is a core part of succeeding in this environment.

What skills and qualifications are needed to thrive as a navy contractor?

To thrive as a Navy Contractor, you generally need expertise in your professional field (such as engineering, logistics, or IT), security clearance eligibility, and familiarity with Department of Defense (DoD) processes. Experience with defense contract management systems, knowledge of Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), and, for some roles, certifications like CompTIA Security+ or PMP may be required. Strong teamwork, adaptability, and effective communication skills help individuals excel when collaborating with military personnel and other contractors. These skills are vital for delivering mission-critical support, ensuring compliance, and maintaining the highest standards of performance in sensitive and dynamic environments.

We are seeking an experienced Cost Estimator that will support U.S. Navy facilities and infrastructure projects based at the Government facilities onboard NSA Naples, Italy.

  • Collaborate with project managers, engineers, architects, A/E firms, contractors, vendors, and stakeholders to ensure estimates align with project scope, design, schedules, constructability, market conditions, and contract requirements.
  • Support contracting activities by preparing and reviewing cost estimates for bids, change orders, claims, and contract modifications; analyze contractor proposals and provide cost analysis and negotiation support.
  • Develop and maintain Basis of Estimate (BOE) documentation, including assumptions, pricing, quantities, exclusions, risks, escalation, contingency, and project-specific cost factors.
  • Conduct market research and coordinate with suppliers, contractors, and industry representatives to validate pricing and monitor market trends.
  • Review A/E estimates and contractor proposals for accuracy, completeness, pricing, scope alignment, and compliance with applicable cost estimating criteria.
  • Participate in design workshops, estimate reviews, quality assurance, and project meetings, identifying cost impacts of design changes, constructability issues, and schedule requirements.
  • Coordinate with technical disciplines to develop and validate cost estimates for MILCON, minor works, maintenance, demolition, space utilization, and facilities development projects.

Qualifications to be successful in the role:
  • Bachelor's degree in Construction Management, Architecture, Engineering, Cost Estimating, Quantity Surveying, Business, Economics, or a related field is preferred. Formal education or technical training in these disciplines is desirable. Demonstrated hands-on construction cost estimating experience is required, with 3-5 years of design and/or construction experience preferred.
  • Certified Cost Professional (CCP) by AACE International, Tri-Service Cost Consultant registration, or an equivalent construction cost estimating credential is desirable.
  • Minimum 5 years of professional construction cost estimating experience, including new construction, renovation, repair, demolition, maintenance, and construction contract modifications.
  • Knowledge of construction cost estimating principles, methodologies, analytical techniques, and industry-standard estimating practices for a wide range of facility and military construction projects.
  • Knowledge of DoD, DON, and NAVFAC cost estimating policies, procedures, and applicable laws, codes, and regulations.
  • Proficiency with Microsoft Office, Autodesk or similar design-viewing software, cost estimating software, and MII/MCACES, RSMeans, PACES, or similar project management and estimating tools.
  • Ability to develop, organize, document, and present detailed cost estimates, Basis of Estimate (BOE) narratives, market analyses, quality control comments, and cost recommendations.
