Title: Industrial Cost Estimator Location: Charlotte, NC (relocation available) Salary: $90,000 - $120,000 discretionary bonus Duration: Permanent/Direct Hire Cost Estimator - Industrial Projects | Global Engineering & Construction Are you a seasoned Cost Estimator who thrives on complex industrial projects and wants to be part of something shaping the future of heavy industry? This role offers the opportunity to lead estimating efforts for large-scale, global plant projects that combine engineering precision, commercial insight, and technical excellence. As the Cost Estimator, you'll take ownership of developing thorough, data-driven cost estimates that support new plant sales, aftermarket work, and international project delivery. You'll collaborate closely with project managers, engineers, procurement teams, and executives-playing a key role in defining project scope, strategy, and profitability from the very start. What You'll Do: Lead the preparation of detailed cost estimates for complex industrial plant projects worldwide. Analyze and interpret technical drawings, P&IDs, proposals, and project documentation to build accurate, defensible estimates. Establish Work Breakdown Structures (WBS) and Basis of Estimates (BOEs) to ensure cost visibility and control. Partner with engineering, procurement, and project management teams to validate cost data and develop comprehensive budgets. Present cost reviews and recommendations to senior and executive leadership. Maintain historical cost data and develop financial models to forecast project cash flow and resource needs. What You Bring: 6 years of experience estimating within industrial EPC (Engineering, Procurement, and Construction) environments-ideally with steel, metals, or large-scale process facilities. Strong analytical and technical foundation; expert-level Excel skills and experience with cost estimating software (e.g., Aspen Capital Cost Estimator, Cleopatra, CostOS, ProEst). Excellent communication and presentation skills-you can confidently brief executives and project leaders. Degree in Engineering, Construction Management, or equivalent hands-on experience (10-15 years). Professional certifications such as AACE CEP/CCP or PMP a plus. Willingness to travel occasionally (~5%) for site visits and project reviews. Why This Role Stands Out: Opportunity to work on high-impact, international industrial projects. Collaborative culture where technical excellence and innovation are valued. Competitive compensation, strong benefits, and clear growth potential into senior or leadership roles. If you're a detail-driven estimator who enjoys bringing order and insight to complex industrial work-and wants your expertise to make a measurable difference, this is a career move worth exploring. FootBridge is an equal opportunity employer committed to an inclusive environment where everyone is valued and respected. We make employment decisions based on qualifications and business needs, without discrimination on any basis, and we welcome candidates from diverse backgrounds to apply.
