Lead Estimator Electrical

Direct Discipline

• Performs Electrical & Instrumentation discipline capital cost estimates.
• Coordinates Engineering teams for quantity takeoffs. Resolve queries on takeoffs and establish a firm basis of quantities for scope and quantity reviews..
• Participates in establishing pricing structures to be applied to quantities for estimates. Ensures that estimate is in line with market trends and pricing.
• Applies unit rates (cost and job hour) to quantities and performs portions of the total cost estimate within a discipline or commodity specialty using standard estimating templates.
• Provides input to estimate basis documentation capturing assumptions, rationale, scope inclusions and exclusions for specific contributions.
• Helps reporting efforts and estimate summary presentations for estimate reviews.
• Quantifies and spreads escalation based on project schedule and estimated costs.
• Researches, develops and maintains costs, quantities, ratios and metrics of the historical cost databases pertaining to specific section.
• Understands the data and various sources of data. Extracts non-standard data and formulates the data into comparative summary format for analysis.
• Inputs cost data into the historical cost databases. Files completed estimates with all relevant back-up documentation.
• Helps the development of estimating standards and procedures.

Overall
