In this role, youโ€™ll lead and support detailed and conceptual estimating efforts, review drawings and specifications, prepare bid documents, participate in estimate presentations, manage bid solicitation, evaluate proposals, and collaborate with project teams, trade partners, owners, and design partners. Youโ€™ll also contribute to target value design, risk and opportunity reviews, cost modeling, and the transition of estimate information to project teamsโ€”bringing both technical estimating expertise and a relationship-focused mindset to the work.

The anticipated salary range for this position is $108,000 - $143,000 annually. This information reflects the anticipated base salary for this position based on current market data.

What You Bring

  • Bachelorโ€™s degree in construction management, engineering, or a related field; an equivalent combination of education, training, and/or experience may be considered.
  • Five to eight years of estimating experience, estimating large power generation or heavy industrial construction projects.
  • Strong knowledge of estimating processes, including labor, material, equipment, subcontracting, general conditions, requirements, insurance, fees, permits, contingencies, and scope development.
