• Bid Management: Complete subcontractor and material supplier bid tabulations, and lead subcontractor solicitation and pre-qualification reviews. You'll be responsible for reviewing and approving specialty and standard equipment pricing.
• Risk & Strategy Management: Identify opportunities, risks, and contingencies throughout the project duration. You will also review commercial terms and conditions, make final recommendations on fees and escalation, and develop strategies for contract partnering agreements.
• Communication & Presentation: Present estimates to both internal and external clients. You'll be responsible for the accuracy and validity of all estimate clarifications and assumptions.

Required Qualifications

• Experience: A minimum of 5 years of experience in construction, specifically in estimating power generation EPC projects.
• Education: A Diploma or Bachelor's degree in a related field is preferred, but applicable experience may be substituted.
• Technical Skills: Intermediate knowledge of engineering, procurement, contracts, construction, and startup work processes. You should have a working knowledge of advanced Excel and experience with estimating software like Aspen, CostOS, Heavybid, or InEight. An OSHA 10-hour safety certification is required.
• Personal Attributes: The ability to work independently or in groups, think creatively and analytically, and make quick, sound decisions is essential. Excellent written and verbal communication skills are a must.
