Job Description

Structural steel estimators are the quantity surveyors for fabrication shops who specialize in producing reliable estimates of the amounts and types of steel to be used on a project and what they will cost. They need to be able to prepare schedules of quantities from measurements taken from the drawings, plans, and specifications produced by the structural design team. They must also check the availability of the steel to be used.

Once a contract has been awarded, the estimator often orders to the specifications all the steel components needed for the project. The estimator must keep tabs on the financial status of the job, compiling information on which progress payments are based. When there is a change of design, variations in payment claims must be calculated.

Structural steel estimators usually work for steel construction companies, costing out new jobs in hand and assisting the bid team in submitting tenders to win new work for the business. They are sometimes required to attend site meetings and be involved in project management. For this, a thorough understanding of commercial construction is essential. They may have several projects underway at the same time so they need to be accurate and organized in controlling the costs of each.

An estimator needs to be analytical and logical, to have an aptitude for working on computers with great attention to detail, to enjoy working with figures, and to have strong communication skills.
