Full Job Description
InEight Estimating Program Specialist

This role is focused on enabling and coaching estimating and project teams in the effective use of InEight Estimate and InEight Control. Acting as a trusted advisor, the role leverages practical estimating experience to guide teams in building high-quality, standardized estimates that support reliable cost control, forecasting, and execution.

This is not a hands-on estimating role—success is measured by the capability built within teams, the quality of estimate structures, and consistent adoption of InEight and Estimate Conformance practices.

  • Guide alignment between estimate structure, execution strategy, and reporting requirements
  • Promote strong data integrity and consistency to enable reliable forecasting and cost control

Field Guidance & Capability Building

  • Reinforce estimating best practices through InEight-enabled workflows
  • Support teams in strengthening the link between estimate, execution, and performance tracking

Standardization & Continuous Improvement

  • Promote One Bird estimating standards and consistent use of InEight tools
  • Reduce reliance on spreadsheets and non-standard tools through coaching and system adoption
  • Capture field feedback to improve estimating practices, standards, and system effectiveness
