Estimator, Mechanical

Prepare accurate quantity surveys and estimates for assigned project divisions, soliciting subcontractor and supplier quotations as required. Collaborate with architects and engineers to draft clarifications, attend project meetings, and perform site investigations. Examine office conditions to identify inaccuracies and cost-saving measures, while assisting in compiling historical cost data. Lead estimating efforts for small-sized projects by supervising bid teams, managing schedules, and conducting final reviews prior to bid due dates. Critically analyze estimates to ensure competitive bids, apply appropriate labor rates, and recognize risks to apply contingency and escalation.
