SUMMARY:

  • Collaborate with internal teams, external consultants, and trade partners to ensure that project estimates are comprehensive and competitive.
  • Analyze project documents to identify potential risks, opportunities, and cost-saving measures.
  • Reduce the need for value engineering exercises by actively engaging in the design process to ensure contractor cost data is utilized in the design decision making process.
  • Prepare and present cost estimates, proposals, and scope alignment recommendations to clients and stakeholders.
  • Lead NRC/MRC cost breakouts and tracking efforts to assist in project underwriting and sales efforts. Engage with customers in support of the project team as necessary to develop confidence in NRC costs and fit-out costs as may be required.
  • Participate in project meetings and provide ongoing support to project teams throughout the preconstruction phase.
  • Maintain up-to-date knowledge of industry trends, construction costs, market conditions, and commodity indices.
  • Assist in the development and implementation of preconstruction best practices, procedures, and tools.
  • Develop and lead a team as necessary to support scaling of the business.


Qualifications:

  • Bachelor’s degree in construction management, Engineering, or related field (or equivalent work experience).
  • Minimum of 7-10 years of experience in construction estimating, with a focus on data centers or mission-critical facilities.
  • Proficiency in construction cost estimating software (e.g., RSMeans, Timberline, WinEst) and Microsoft Office Suite.
  • Strong analytical, problem-solving, and decision-making skills.
  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to interact effectively with clients, consultants, and team members.
  • Ability to manage multiple projects and priorities simultaneously.
  • Knowledge of sustainable construction practices and LEED accreditation is a plus.
  • Experience in alternative contracting methodologies such as Lean IPD and incentive based pricing structures.
