About the company

Pyrovio

We translate strategy into long-term, sustainable, and measurable results by using our three-tier approach: Strategy, Capability and Execution. We structure our work with clients around three critical questions: 1. STRATEGY — Are we doing the ‘right’ things? Gut instincts alone are not enough to manage a growing enterprise. You need strong analytics to make the quantifiable strategic decisions that will drive your continued success. Capital spending and organizational initiatives must be aligned to the strategy. We help you implement strategic alignment tools to prioritize your capital spending and strategic initiatives. 2. CAPABILITY — Are we ‘capable’ of doing the ‘right’ things? Capability is the readiness of the company to navigate the path set by its strategy. The importance of capabilities was highlighted when research showed that some companies consistently outperformed others despite having similar strategies, market positions, value propositions and pricing. Those leading companies were found to have superior capabilities that allowed them to perfect the implementation of their strategies. We help you transform your organization and develop the capabilities required for strategy implementation. Our engagement is often structured around the four elements of capability: process, organization, systems, and performance. 3. EXECUTION — Are we ‘executing’ the ‘right’ things ‘right’? Strategy and capability are essential to superior performance, but they alone are not sufficient for a company’s success. Excellence in execution is the third required ingredient. Execution is about getting things done. Excellence in execution is about getting things done right every time. Our involvement during the execution phase is usually categorized under one of the following categories or a combination thereof: · Monitoring and measuring performance · Outsourcing some of the client’s business functions

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 10 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.
