  • Maintain historical cost databases and continuously refine models based on actuals and market trends
  • Contribute to site feasibility assessments and preconstruction planning with data-backed insights
  • Support value engineering exercises and cost optimization strategies

Requirements:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Construction Management, Engineering, Quantity Surveying, or related field
  • 10+ years of experience in construction cost estimating for complex infrastructure projects
  • Strong experience in cost modeling, budgeting, and cash flow forecasting
  • Deep technical knowledge of MEP, CSA, and mission-critical systems
  • Expertise with estimating software such as CostX, Sage Estimating, or equivalent
  • Ability to translate technical and financial inputs into actionable reporting
  • Strong communication skills with experience presenting to both technical and executive stakeholders
  • Willingness to travel up to 25%, including international locations
  • Background with general contractors, owner’s rep firms, or tech/data center infrastructure
  • Familiarity with the full construction lifecycle including preconstruction, procurement, and delivery

Nice to have:

  • Experience with Lean methodologies, design-build, or integrated project delivery
  • Advanced degree or certifications such as AACE, RICS, or CMAA

  • Employer contributions to HSA accounts
  • Paid Parental Leave
