CSA Estimator II

Estimating & Quantity Development

• Prepare detailed cost estimates for civil structural and architectural scopes including site development earthwork grading drainage foundations concrete structural steel buildings roads and architectural components

• Develop quantity takeoffs from civil site plans grading and drainage drawings structural drawings geotechnical reports and architectural packages to accurately define material and labor scope

• Estimate earthwork quantities including cut/fill calculations soil stabilization subgrade preparation and import/export materials for greenfield and brownfield power generation sites

• Estimate deep and shallow foundation systems including mat foundations drilled piers driven piles and equipment pads specific to turbine generators HRSGs transformers and other heavy industrial equipment

• Estimate structural steel scope including turbine decks pipe racks equipment support structures auxiliary building frames and miscellaneous steel

• Estimate architectural scope including control buildings maintenance facilities warehouses guard shacks and site enclosures from schematic through IFC-level drawings

• Evaluate earthwork quantities site preparation requirements and structural installation methodologies specific to large-scale industrial and power plant construction

Collaboration & Coordination

• Collaborate closely with engineering procurement construction and project management disciplines tovalidateestimating assumptions constructability and project execution strategies

• Interface with civil subcontractors structural fabricators concrete suppliers and operating units tosolicit scope and evaluate quotations and bids for accuracy completeness and competitiveness

• Participate in estimate review sessions risk workshops bid strategy meetings and client-facing presentations clearly communicating scope basis cost drivers and key assumptions

• Partner with project controls to support budget development schedule integration and cost tracking on awarded projects

Cost Modeling & Tools

• Incorporate risk registers contingency analysis escalation factors indirect costs site-specific conditions and project variables into fully loaded EPC cost estimates

• UtilizeInEight Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC) Bluebeam and Excel-based cost models to develop manage and present comprehensive estimates

• Maintain and continuously improve historical cost databases unit rate benchmarks earthwork pricing libraries and labor productivity factors specific to power generation civil construction

Proposals & Business Development

• Support proposal development owners engineer reviews and preconstruction planning for both pursuit and awarded projects

• Contribute to alternative scope approaches and value engineering opportunities that improve estimate competitiveness

• Conduct or support site visits pre-bid walkthroughs geotechnical reviews and customer meetings as needed

• Degree in Construction Management Civil Engineering or a related field OR equivalent experience in civil/structural construction the trades or EPC project management preferred

• 3 years of experience estimating CSA scopes on power generation industrial or large-scale EPC infrastructure projects (5-10 years preferred)

• Working knowledge of power generation civil and structural systems including site development earthwork foundations structural steel concrete and site infrastructure

• Proficiencywith estimating and project software:InEight Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC) Bluebeam and Microsoft Excel
