Overview We are seeking a motivated and detail-oriented Preconstruction Estimator to join our estimating team, focusing on water and wastewater treatment plant (WTP/WWTP) projects. This role supports collaborative delivery methods—such as Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR), Design-Build (DB), and Progressive Design-Build (PDB)—where early contractor involvement and teamwork with design partners and owners are key to success. The ideal candidate brings a strong technical foundation in civil or process mechanical construction, analytical problem-solving skills, and a collaborative mindset. You’ll play a key role in developing accurate estimates, evaluating design alternatives, and shaping projects that improve water infrastructure across our communities. Key Responsibilities • Prepare conceptual and detailed cost estimates at various design stages (10%, 30%, 60%, 90%). • Perform quantity takeoffs for civil, structural, mechanical, and process disciplines. • Solicit, analyze, and scope subcontractor and vendor proposals to ensure accuracy and coverage. • Collaborate with design partners to align design development with cost and constructability considerations. • Support the development of pricing models, cost summaries, and GMP or target price proposals. • Participate in design and value engineering sessions, providing cost-driven feedback. • Assist with client presentations and internal preconstruction deliverables. Qualifications • Bachelor’s degree in Construction Management, Civil/Environmental Engineering, or related field (or equivalent experience). • 3–8 years of estimating or project management experience, preferably in water/wastewater treatment. • Experience in collaborative delivery projects (CMAR, DB, or PDB) strongly preferred. • Proficiency with estimating tools such as InEight; strong Excel and quantity takeoff skills. • Familiarity with Bluebeam, Revit, or Navisworks a plus. • Understanding of treatment process systems, mechanical/electrical components, and construction sequencing. Preferred Attributes • Collaborative and team-oriented approach to problem-solving. • Strong communication and organizational skills. • Detail-driven with the ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment. • Eagerness to learn and grow in preconstruction for complex water infrastructure projects. Why Join Us? Join a collaborative and purpose-driven team delivering essential water and wastewater projects. We offer competitive pay, professional development opportunities, and a culture that values innovation, integrity, and teamwork.
