RLA Field Service and Tools Cost Estimator

A Snapshot of Your Day

A Field Service Cost Estimator involves developing detailed cost estimates for maintenance quotes and bids related to large, medium, and small gas turbines, steam turbines, and associated generators in response to customer RFQs (request for quotations). The estimator collaborates with engineering and sales teams to capture project details, assess risks, and ensure estimates align with scope and budget. They mentor other estimators in the Latin America region, maintain cost calculators, and document changes to the estimating process, all while managing multiple projects to support the growth of the service business!

How You’ll Make an Impact
