Senior Cost Estimator - Moving I-4 Forward

Reference: sj1czdv6ark705iguzdb

A Senior Cost Estimator is sought to support the planning and delivery of complex transportation infrastructure projects. The successful candidate will develop accurate, comprehensive cost estimates across project stages, from early concept and feasibility through design development, procurement, construction, and closeout. This role will analyse drawings, specifications, scope documents, schedules, quantities, labour requirements, materials, equipment, subcontractor pricing, escalation, contingencies, and risk allowances to produce reliable estimates for decision-making.

Key responsibilities include preparing conceptual, preliminary, and detailed estimates; reviewing design changes and assessing their cost impact; maintaining estimating databases, historical cost information, and productivity benchmarks; obtaining and evaluating supplier and subcontractor quotations; and working closely with project managers, engineers, designers, procurement teams, and commercial specialists. The Senior Cost Estimator will identify scope gaps, inconsistencies, and potential cost risks, prepare value-engineering recommendations, support budget development and cost control, and present findings clearly to technical and senior stakeholders. The role will also contribute to estimate reviews, tender documentation, bid evaluations, change-order assessments, and lessons-learned activities.

Applicants should have significant experience estimating major civil, highway, rail, utilities, or other infrastructure projects, with a strong understanding of construction methods, contracts, pricing structures, and cost-risk analysis. A degree or equivalent qualification in quantity surveying, construction management, engineering, finance, or a related discipline is preferred. Professional certification or membership of a recognised estimating, surveying, or construction body would be advantageous. Strong numerical, analytical, organisational, and communication skills are essential, together with advanced capability in spreadsheets and estimating software. The ideal candidate is detail-oriented, commercially aware, confident working with incomplete information, and able to manage competing deadlines while maintaining accuracy and professional integrity.
