Job Summary
Highly skilled Facilities Estimating SME / BOE Developer to support proposal development, staffing analysis, cost estimating, and technical solution development for government facilities and base operations programs. The successful candidate will develop compliant, defensible Basis of Estimate (BOE) packages by integrating labor staffing models, operational requirements, technical assumptions, and non-labor resource requirements provided by cross-functional stakeholders. This role requires expertise in facilities operations, workforce planning, proposal development, and cost estimating, along with the ability to perform detailed bottoms-up estimating when required to validate assumptions or develop independent cost estimates.
Roles and Responsibilities
• Basis of Estimate (BOE) Development: Lead the development of compliant, defensible BOEs by integrating labor staffing models, non-labor resource requirements, technical assumptions, and execution strategies provided by Operations, Site Management, and Functional Leads.
• Labor Staffing Model Development and Analysis: Utilize prescribed staffing models and estimating tools to develop workforce plans, labor hour projections, FTE requirements, and staffing justifications aligned with contract requirements and operational execution plans.
• Cross-Functional Coordination: Collaborate with project leadership, site personnel, maintenance managers, and functional subject matter experts to collect, validate, and reconcile labor and non-labor takeoffs supporting proposal development.
• Estimate Integration and Validation: Review proposed staffing levels, materials, equipment, subcontracted services, and other cost elements to ensure consistency with solicitation requirements, technical approaches, historical data, and organizational estimating standards.
• Resource Justification and Cost Narrative Development: Prepare detailed BOE narratives that clearly articulate assumptions, methodologies, staffing rationales, and resource requirements to support management reviews, customer evaluations, and audit activities.
• Bottoms-Up Estimating: Perform detailed time-to-task, workload-based, and resource-driven estimating to develop independent cost estimates, validate staffing model outputs, challenge assumptions, and support unique proposal requirements not adequately addressed by existing estimating models.
• Statement of Work (SOW) Development: Review or develop and refine subcontractor and vendor Statements of Work to support accurate pricing, technical alignment, and scope definition.
• Technical and Cost Proposal Evaluation: May assess subcontractor proposals for technical compliance, scope completeness, staffing adequacy, and cost realism.
• Process Compliance: Ensure all estimates and BOEs comply with established estimating methodologies, proposal processes, contractual requirements, and customer expectations.
• Facilities and Operations Expertise: Apply knowledge of facilities maintenance, utilities, base operations, logistics, and government support services to accurately assess resource requirements and execution impacts.
