    • Assist in evaluating contractor bids and vendor proposals for electrical work.
    • Review cost proposals from suppliers and subcontractors to ensure they align with project budgets and scopes of work.

    • Participate in value engineering efforts to optimize the electrical design and reduce costs while maintaining performance and safety standards.
  • Project Coordination:
    • Work closely with project managers, procurement teams, and electrical engineers to ensure alignment between cost estimates and project goals.
    • Provide support during project planning, procurement, and construction phases to ensure accurate cost management.
  • Reporting & Documentation:
    • Prepare cost reports, including comparisons of actual costs versus budget and forecast updates.
    • Maintain and update cost databases, historical data, and records for future reference.
    • Provide regular updates on project financial status to management and stakeholders.

Qualifications:

    • High School Diploma or Equivalent
  • Experience:
    • Minimum of 5-10 years of experience of industrial electric cost estimation, cost control, or project management in an industrial setting.
