ABOUT THIS OPPORTUNITY:
We are placing a Staff Capital Cost Estimator (Class 3 & 4) on behalf of a global leader in manufacturing. This is a company where people don't just come to work, they build careers. This role owns the estimating function for capital projects across a large-scale North American manufacturing and distribution network, covering facility expansions, warehouse improvements, and continuous improvement initiatives across the global supply chain.
This is a high-impact role. You'll be the first dedicated estimator in the organization, supporting capital expansion projects at manufacturing and distribution facilities across North America. You'll work hand-in-hand with engineering, operations, supply chain, and project management teams to translate project concepts and designs into clear financial insights.
If you're someone who gets energized by complex problems, likes having a seat at the table, and can translate technical scope into financial insight that leadership actually acts on, this is the role for you.
WHAT YOU’LL BE DOING
Developing Class 3 and Class 4 capital cost estimates for manufacturing, warehouse, and facility expansion projects
Producing detailed quantity take-offs and cost breakdowns across multiple engineering disciplines — equipment, civil/structural, mechanical, electrical, instrumentation
Building, refining, and owning estimating methodologies and tools for the organization
Reviewing engineering drawings, specs, scope of work documents, bid packages, and vendor/contractor quotes for accuracy and completeness
Collaborating directly with business stakeholders, the design team, and project engineers to scope and estimate capital projects
Researching and validating market pricing, labor rates, and equipment costs to keep estimates current and defensible
Presenting estimates to internal stakeholders and leadership with clarity and confidence
Traveling to manufacturing and distribution sites (~30%) for project-specific site visits — typical trips are 2–3 days
