Applies technical knowledge of materials, labor, and production methods to evaluate SPW scopes across multiple trades.

Contributes to the continuous improvement of SPW estimating tools and data management practices.
Key Responsibilities: Prepares comprehensive SPW cost estimates, integrating material, labor, equipment, and production data for multiple scopes.

Coordinates with procurement teams to evaluate vendor and supplier pricing for SPW materials and equipment, levelling supplier and trade partner bids for SPW work, ensuring that all proposals are consistent with project assumptions and identifying any variances. Develops variance analyses and cost studies to support value engineering and constructability discussions. Coordinates with scheduling and operations teams to ensure SPW scope aligns with phasing, access, and sequencing plans, and maintains historical cost and production data to support continuous improvement in estimating accuracy. Communicates estimate assumptions, findings, and recommendations clearly to project stakeholders, and identifies SPW-related risks, constraints, and uncertainties and incorporates appropriate allowances or contingencies in partnership with operations teams.
Education Qualifications: Bachelor’s degree in construction management, engineering, architecture, or a related field, or equivalent experience required.
Work Experience: 4–6 years of experience in estimating, preconstruction, or cost analysis for self-perform or construction projects required.
