Estimator - Cost jobs in Akron, OH

Pyrovio is seeking to employ a professional cost estimator with experience in estimate development for capital projects. The individual will be responsible for generating parametric and detailed estimates to support the scope of work of a project.

Responsibilities:

• Collaborate with project sponsors/stakeholder groups to understand scope of a project.
• Utilize pre-existing parametric estimating tool to generate parametric estimates in accordance with AACE estimate class requirements for substation and transmission projects based on conceptual scope of work for the project.
• Utilize existing estimating templates to generate assembly-level cost estimates for projects based on detailed scope of work and 30-50% engineering design.
• Facilitate the identification of changes to the parametric estimating tool to provide data in a more usable format for subsequent use in the project schedule and cost management.
• Utilize estimates vs actuals cost comparisons from projects to refresh & update cost data in parametric estimating tool.
• Revision of existing cost data in parametric estimating tool, to assist with structuring of the enterprise estimating system and work with developers for implementation.
