Process Estimator

The Estimator supports the preconstruction and estimating team by preparing project cost estimates and proposals. This role focuses on scope definition, subcontractor coordination, and cost assembly. Unlike other estimating roles, the Process Estimator independently performs all quantity take-offs directly from project drawings and P&IDs, rather than receiving reports from a dedicated take-off team. The Estimator works under the direction of a Senior Estimator and/or Preconstruction Manager to ensure high-quality, accurate deliverables and project success.
