- Review proposal specifications and drawings, with support from senior staff, to help determine scope of work.
- Prepare estimates for assigned portions of the scope, with oversight from the Lead Estimator.
- Maintain organized files of working documents and current supplier pricing as backup for estimate figures.
- Assist in obtaining subcontractor pricing as required.
- Assist in obtaining material and equipment rental pricing as required.
- Support consistency and quality of estimates in reports to operations, management, and clients.
- Learn and effectively use the team's estimating systems, offering suggestions for improvement where appropriate.
- Ensure the accuracy and completeness of assigned tasks, subject to review by senior estimators.
- Assist with post-bid analysis as required.
Qualifications:
- Diploma or degree in construction management, engineering, quantity surveying, or a related field.
Requirements
- Clear and professional interpersonal, written and verbal communication skills
- Ability to deal effectively with all levels within different functional areas of the company as well as external customers
- Exceptional analytical, planning and organizational skills
- High attention to detail and accuracy
- Experience working with Excel and MS office programs such as MS Project
- Foundational knowledge of construction estimating principles
- Willingness to learn and take direction from senior team members
Preference Given to Persons who are/have:
- Technical, university, or trade certificate (electrician, lineman or the like)
- Over 1 year experience in commercial construction estimating, transmission and/or distribution power systems.
