• Knowledge of international electrical codes and standards, where applicable.
  
  

Responsibilities

• Analyze electrical design documents, specifications, and engineering packages specific to data center infrastructure, including power distribution, emergency backup systems, UPS, grounding, and low-voltage systems.
• Prepare detailed quantity take-offs and cost estimates for power and critical systems, including high-voltage switchgear, generators, battery systems, and data/communications infrastructure.
• Develop pricing strategies and estimate summaries that reflect realistic execution and procurement plans for complex EPC data center projects.
• Coordinate with engineering, procurement, and construction teams to validate cost inputs and project assumptions.
• Solicit and evaluate vendor/subcontractor pricing, ensuring scope alignment and coverage for all major systems and components.
• Support the preparation of bid proposals, cost reports, and risk analyses.
• Participate in value engineering sessions and constructability reviews to improve estimate accuracy and project viability.
• Ensure estimates reflect current market conditions, labor rates, and equipment/material lead times—particularly for mission-critical components.
• Contribute to post-award project support, assisting in change order pricing and cost control processes during construction.
