Role

Reporting to the Preconstruction Manager, the Project Estimator plays a key role in the preparation of complete EPC (Engineering, Procurement, and Construction) proposals for high-voltage electrical, renewables, and utility projects. This position is responsible for evaluating RFP packages to determine scope, constructability, and proposal requirements, ensuring a compliant and competitive submission. Working closely with preconstruction team members—including estimating, engineering, procurement, and project controls—the Project Estimator leads the development of detailed cost estimates and supporting documentation.

Responsibilities

  • Evaluate RFP packages to understand scope, schedule, deliverables, and commercial requirements for assigned estimates.
  • Prepare detailed EPC cost estimates for transmission, distribution, substation, generation, and industrial electrical projects.
  • Support the development of complete proposal submissions, ensuring compliance with client requirements and internal standards.
  • Collaborate with preconstruction team members and cross-functional stakeholders to develop scope, pricing, execution plans, and schedules.
  • Coordinate and attend site visits to gather field-level data and assess constructability.
  • Prepare or assist in the preparation of supporting proposal documents, including:
    • Project Execution Plan
    • Cost Estimate
    • Project Schedule (MS Project or Primavera)
    • Environmental, Safety, Quality, and ITP Plans
    • Risk Register, Assumptions, and Clarifications
    • Optional Pricing and Alternate Proposals
    • Executive Summary
  • Support the engagement of subcontractors and vendors to secure pricing and confirm scope alignment.
  • Review client commercial terms and coordinate with internal stakeholders for risk assessment and compliance documentation.
  • Maintain a record of all estimate basis throughout the development of a proposal.
  • Facilitate internal estimate review meetings at various stages of the estimate.
  • Conduct final bid submission reviews with the appropriate internal signing authorities.
  • Conduct formal estimate hand-off meetings with the Project Management team after contract award.
  • Assist with the preparation and submission of change orders and scope adjustments.
  • Participate in project close-out and post-mortem reviews to support continuous improvement.
  • Support the use of CRM systems to track proposal status, client interactions, and business development metrics.
  • Submit accurate and timely administrative documentation, including daily timesheets.
  • Support continuous improvement efforts within the estimating process and proposal quality.

A reasonable estimate of the pay range is $80,000.000 - $110,000.00 USD at the time of this posting. Within the range, individual pay is determined by factors such as job-related skills, relevant experience, education and/or training.
