Cost is the promise that makes complex technical space possible.
In laboratories, cGMP cleanrooms, and advanced manufacturing
environments, the estimate is not a spreadsheet exercise—it is
the plan that locks scope, schedule, and compliance before a
shovel turns. You will set the number the team can stand behind,
from early concept through buyout, so clients reach occupancy
without surprise.

----------------------
Performance Objectives
----------------------

* Produce conceptual and detailed estimates that hold within
agreed variance from concept through GMP.
* Build trade packages with clear scope splits so procurement and
field teams buy out without gaps or double coverage.
* Quantify design alternatives against cost, schedule, and
compliance so leaders can choose before documents harden.
* Price change events with documented quantities, production
assumptions, and risk so client and subcontractor negotiations
close cleanly.
* Maintain live cost reports that flag drift early and give
project leaders a weekly path back to budget.
* Capture historical unit rates from completed technical projects
and feed them into the next pursuit within one week of closeout.
* Support pursuits with credible budgets and narratives that win
work the team can actually build.

---------------------------
Environment & Resources
---------------------------

You will sit with preconstruction and project management on
design-build assignments, partnering with architects, engineers,
superintendents, and trade partners from site strategy through
commissioning. Reporting is to preconstruction leadership, with
direct access to project executives on live jobs. Tools include
PlanSwift, Bluebeam, Microsoft Office, and the project cost and
management systems the field already uses. Historical cost data,
vendor pricing, and senior estimators are available; you own the
number.

------------------------
Essential Qualifications
------------------------

* Five or more years estimating commercial or technical
construction, including projects above $1 million or multiple
concurrent smaller jobs.
* Demonstrated quantity takeoff and pricing for mechanical,
electrical, process, architectural, and general-conditions scopes
in regulated or high-performance facilities.
* Working command of PlanSwift or equivalent, Bluebeam, and Excel
cost models that others can audit.
* Ability to read design documents against a basis of design and
call out cost or constructability risk before bid day.
* Clear written scopes and verbal defense of an estimate in owner
or internal reviews.
* Bachelor’s degree in construction, engineering, or
architecture, or equivalent field progression with a proven
estimate record.
