  • Cross-Functional Collaboration
  • Work with engineering to assess design alternatives and their cost impacts.
  • Support procurement with bid evaluation and vendor negotiations.
  • Provide cost input for project development activities such as site selection, permitting,
  • and grid interconnection.

  • Communicate findings and present cost summaries, value engineering options, and
  • risk evaluations to management.

  • Processes and Tools
  • Apply estimating software and internal modeling tools for cost forecasting.
  • Develop standardized templates, assumptions, and estimating protocols to ensure
  • internal consistency.

  • Recommend improvements to estimation methodologies and project cost controls.
  • Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree in engineering, construction management, or a related technical
  • field.

  • Minimum of 5 years of experience in estimating large-scale infrastructure, renewable

  • system components and installation methods.

  • Familiarity with regional labor markets, wage compliance, and productivity

  • Ability to manage multiple priorities under tight deadlines in a development-focused
  • environment.

  • Working knowledge of construction contract structures (lump sum, unit price, EPC).
