Job description

Pyrovio is seeking to employ a professional cost estimator with experience in estimate development for capital projects. The individual will be responsible for generating parametric and detailed estimates to support the scope of work of a project.

Responsibilities:

  • Collaborate with project sponsors/stakeholder groups to understand scope of a project.
  • Utilize pre-existing parametric estimating tool to generate parametric estimates in accordance with AACE estimate class requirements for substation and transmission projects based on conceptual scope of work for the project.
  • Utilize existing estimating templates to generate assembly-level cost estimates for projects based on detailed scope of work and 30-50% engineering design.
  • Facilitate the identification of changes to the parametric estimating tool to provide data in a more usable format for subsequent use in the project schedule and cost management.
  • Utilize estimates vs actuals cost comparisons from projects to refresh & update cost data in parametric estimating tool.
  • Revision of existing cost data in parametric estimating tool, to assist with structuring of the enterprise estimating system and work with developers for implementation.
  • Improve coordination of estimates to avoid duplication of estimates, improve ownership, and avoid overlaps in estimate scope.
  • Train estimators on revised tools, especially for contracted estimators and assist with development of standard work instructions to standardize project scoping and estimating.
  • Ability to use estimating software to generate cost estimates and to go through the QAQC process.
  • Have the flexibility to attend client and company meetings as needed.

Required Qualifications:

  • Minimum 5 years of professional cost estimating experience, in developing estimate packages for design & construction.
  • Industry experience estimating construction projects for energy utilities and/or above/below grade civil estimating.
  • Proficient in Microsoft Office Suite of products
  • Proficient in AACE Cost Engineering Practices and TCM framework.
  • Bachelor’s/Master’s Degree in Electrical Engineering, Civil Engineering, or related fields
  • Familiarity with Enterprise Estimating Systems like Sage is a plus.
  • Familiarity with process improvement methodologies like Lean & Six Sigma is a plus.

Travel Requirements: less than 10% on-site.
