JOB OVERVIEW
We are urgently seeking a seasoned Estimator with turnkey knowledge of the full estimating process to support ongoing project demands.

• Mentor Early Career Professionals and support pre-commissioning as needed.
• Promote and enforce safety protocols on-site.
QUALIFICATIONS
• 5–7 years of field construction planning, estimating, and execution.
• Deep knowledge in civil, mechanical, and electrical scopes.
• High proficiency with Excel and estimating software (Microsoft Project and/or P6 preferred).
• Ability to build schedules and cost models from the ground up.
• Strong knowledge of construction materials testing procedures and ASTM standards.
• Previous experience with compressor stations, pipeline projects, and gas flow infrastructure.
