Position Overview:
As Senior Estimator, you will be responsible for reviewing, analyzing and interpreting contract documents (specifications, drawings, and reference information) to develop detailed, comprehensive cost estimates for various large, complex projects.

As required, you will provide direction and guidance to others on project/program level tasks.
#LI-LW1 Kiewit’s project work is large, complex and varied, and at times never been done before, requiring the need to think ‘outside of the box’. The estimating group works as a team, and with management present during the process from beginning to end. Our estimating practices are intensely rigorous and detail-oriented, incorporating powerful systems.

We relocate our teams based on the work that is available, combined with the development plans, skill sets, and career goals of each team member. This means your Kiewit adventure is custom-designed to meet our shared needs.

Responsibilities:

  1. Develop complete estimates for large, complex jobs.
  2. Supervise estimators in the preparation of check estimates for other work, review estimates prepared by other estimating groups or JV partners to determine completeness of data used, procedures, and aid in resolving differences in bid items.

  4. Review all bid and contract documents and home office legal department opinions.
  5. Conduct site investigation prior to forming a plan of operations to identify any problems or conditions of an unusual nature that may be present.
  6. Utilize engineer techniques and procedures to conduct investigation and adhere to standard company policy and procedures.
  7. Perform design work as required by the project that is beyond the estimator scope of experience; handle any major technical problems encountered during bid preparation.
  8. Stay abreast of trends and developments, such as new equipment, methods and procedures that are developing in the industry.
  9. Prepare special engineering studies or reports required by certain bid items or conditions.
  10. Consult with owners on various problems discovered during bid preparation, design, rates, schedules, etc.
