Cost Estimator Opportunity

At Jacobs, we're making our world better with every project, and we know the importance of accurate estimates to the success of these projects. We're looking for a skilled Cost Estimator to join our team to help prepare a wide range of estimates - from conceptual to detailed design - for complex industrial, civil, operations and maintenance, military and government facility projects. Based at a client site in Hawaii, you'll review design documents, proposals, specifications, drawings, attend design development meetings and make site visits to define the scope of work and cost impacts required of the estimate process. You'll be a key contributor and mentor to a knowledgeable and supportive team as you prepare estimates by developing project work breakdown structures, calculating complete scope of work take-offs, apply construction means and methods, and calculate indirect field costs. Design teams will also collaborate with you on the quality and amount of input necessary to develop the cost effective design solutions. You'll tap into both your creative and analytical sides in this role as you develop reports and presentations as well as analyze historical data. Bring your attention to detail and desire to grow, and we'll help you pursue what drives you - so we can tackle challenging projects, together.
