  • Travel to project sites as needed to collect data, assess site conditions, and collaborate with project teams to ensure accurate estimates.
  • Prepare bid proposals, quantity takeoffs, and cost models for competitive bidding processes.
  • Collaborate with Project Managers, Engineering Managers, Superintendents, and subcontractors to develop project proposals and validate estimates, identifying cost-saving opportunities.
  • Exhibit the ability and patience to develop accurate cost estimates for projects with underdeveloped scopes and engineering details.
  • Conduct risk assessments and incorporate contingencies into cost estimates.
  • Adhere to company standards and ensure compliance with industry regulations during the estimating process.
  • Maintain an organized and up-to-date database of cost information, historical data, and vendor pricing.
  • Participate in project kickoff meetings and provide cost-related insights to support project planning.

The Sr. Estimator will perform a variety of tasks critical to The Company’s projects, including :

  • Cost Estimation : Prepare comprehensive cost estimates for civil construction, earthworks (e.g., excavation, grading, embankment), and environmental reclamation projects.
  • Quantity Takeoffs : Perform detailed takeoffs for materials, labor, and equipment based on project plans and specifications.
  • Site Assessments : Conduct site visits to evaluate terrain, access, environmental conditions, and other factors impacting project costs.
  • Bid Preparation : Develop competitive bid proposals, including detailed breakdowns of costs for labor, materials, and subcontractors.
  • Vendor Coordination : Solicit and evaluate quotes from suppliers and subcontractors to ensure cost accuracy and competitiveness.
  • Cost Analysis : Analyze historical project data and industry benchmarks to refine estimating accuracy.
  • Risk Management : Identify potential cost risks and propose mitigation strategies or contingencies.
  • Project Collaboration : Work closely with project teams to align estimates with project goals and schedules.
  • Database Maintenance : Update and maintain a cost database with current pricing, labor rates, and equipment costs.
  • Quality Control : Ensure estimates meet project specifications, industry standards, and client expectations.
  • Software Utilization : Use B2W Estimate, the company’s primary estimating software, alongside tools like Bluebeam and Microsoft Excel for takeoffs and cost modeling.
  • Travel Support : Travel to project sites to gather critical data, verify site conditions, and support project planning.
  • Documentation : Maintain organized records of estimates, assumptions, and supporting documentation for future reference.
  • Client Interaction : Assist in presenting cost estimates to clients or stakeholders during bidding or project planning phases.
  • Required Skills and Qualifications

  • A minimum of eight years of experience in construction cost estimation, with a focus on civil, earthworks, and environmental projects.
