What we Need to See:- 10+ years of combined experience in construction, estimating, pre-construction, or capital project roles
- Experience can be a combination (e.g., 4 years dedicated estimating + 6 years engineering) - but estimating must be a meaningful, substantive part of that history

- Proficiency in AutoCAD and Microsoft Office Suite (Excel, Word, PowerPoint, Project)
- Experience developing Scope of Work documents and reviewing approval vendors and contract bid packages
- Experience with project management including coordination of cross-functional teams

- Experience estimating projects at manufacturing or chemical/industrial processing facilities
- Familiarity with capital project lifecycles including pre-construction, design, and construction phases
WHAT YOU'LL BE DOING- Developing capital cost estimates and high-level budgets for manufacturing, warehouse, and facility expansion projects
- Producing detailed quantity take-offs and cost breakdowns across multiple engineering disciplines - equipment, civil/structural, mechanical, electrical, instrumentation
- Building, refining, and owning estimating methodologies and tools for the organization
- Reviewing engineering drawings, specs, scope of work documents, bid packages, and vendor/contractor quotes for accuracy and completeness
- Collaborating directly with business stakeholders, the design team, and project engineers to scope and estimate capital projects
