Job description

Pyrovio is seeking to employ a professional cost estimator with experience in estimate development for capital projects. The individual will be responsible for generating parametric and detailed estimates to support the scope of work of a project.

Responsibilities

• Collaborate with project sponsors/stakeholder groups to understand scope of a project.
• Utilize pre-existing parametric estimating tool to generate parametric estimates in accordance with AACE estimate class requirements for substation and transmission projects based on conceptual scope of work for the project.
• Utilize existing estimating templates to generate assembly-level cost estimates for projects based on detailed scope of work and 30-50% engineering design.
• Facilitate the identification of changes to the parametric estimating tool to provide data in a more usable format for subsequent use in the project schedule and cost management.
• Utilize estimates vs actuals cost comparisons from projects to refresh & update cost data in parametric estimating tool.
• Revision of existing cost data in parametric estimating tool, to assist with structuring of the enterprise estimating system and work with developers for implementation.
• Improve coordination of estimates to avoid duplication of estimates, improve ownership, and avoid overlaps in estimate scope.
• Train estimators on revised tools, especially for contracted estimators and assist with development of standard work instructions to standardize project scoping and estimating.
• Ability to use estimating software to generate cost estimates and to go through the QAQC process.
• Have the flexibility to attend client and company meetings as needed.

Required Qualifications

• Minimum 10 years of professional cost estimating experience, in developing estimate packages for design & construction.
