Job Summary
The Estimator III leads complex pursuits and major scopes with minimal supervision while providing advanced technical judgment, quality control, and development support to the estimating team. This role integrates work packages, leads risk and constructability analysis, directs quotation strategy, and coordinates estimate decisions with key stakeholders. A typical project-value guide is up to approximately $50 million, but complexity, risk, delivery method, scope integration, and required independence govern assignment.

• Lead risk, constructability, contingency, and value-engineering analysis for assigned pursuits.

• Coordinate with clients, designers, Operations, Procurement, and Business Development on scope, pricing, and pursuit strategy.
• Mentor and direct junior estimators on pursuit assignments without assuming department personnel authority.
• Contribute to cost history, benchmarks, production data, tools, templates, and process improvement.
• Support estimate turnover and lessons-learned activities to improve future estimate quality.
