Description

Position Summary The CSA Estimator (Levels 10 - 11) will be responsible for preparing detailed, internal "bottoms-up" estimates to support engineering-only efforts, early feasibility studies, and Construction Design-Build / EPC estimates and proposals. This role is highly technical, focusing on in-depth analysis of civil, structural, and architectural (CSA) scopes. The successful candidate will study design documents, perform detailed quantity take-offs, price estimates, and author comprehensive Bases of Estimate (BOE).

This position requires close, seamless collaboration with the larger Estimating and Preconstruction team members based in Kansas City (KC). This is an internally focused position with little to no external subcontractor or vendor contact.

Responsibilities

Internal Bottoms-Up Estimating: Develop detailed, first-principles "bottoms-up" direct cost estimates—including material, labor, productivity rates, and equipment—for civil, structural, and architectural (CSA) scopes of work.

Design & Narrative Analysis: Thoroughly study, analyze,



and understand design documents, engineering drawings, blueprints, technical specifications, and project narratives.

Quantity Take-offs (QTO): Perform highly accurate, detailed quantity take-offs from early-stage conceptual sketches through fully detailed construction drawings.

Software Integration: Utilize and input take-off quantities, pricing data, and historical cost data into estimating databases and tools, with a robust preference for InEight Estimating software.

Basis of Estimate (BOE) Development: Take an integral role in writing and organizing the "Basis of Estimate" (BOE) for assigned CSA scopes. Clearly outline core assumptions, clarifications, and exclusions, particularly where design documents are incomplete, vague, or in early stages (Class 5, 4, or 3 estimates).

Cross-Geographic Collaboration: Partner daily with remote project teams and Estimating/Preconstruction counterparts in the Kans
