  • Collaborate with project planning/controls to integrate schedule assumptions and sequencing into the estimate.
  • Maintain and improve a historical cost database, benchmarking, and lessons learned for underground mechanical work.
  • Support handoff to project teams after award (estimate validation, budget setup, change/trend alignment).

REQUIREMENTS:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or Mining Engineering (strongly preferred).
  • 5+ years of project estimating experience, preferably in an underground mining or heavy industrial environment with significant mechanical scope.
  • 10+ years in engineering, project planning, and/or project management, with demonstrated ability to align estimate scope to execution strategy.
  • Proven experience producing estimates for underground mechanical work packages, including labor/equipment build-ups and indirect cost modeling.
  • Ability to interpret and apply:
  • Mechanical drawings, P&IDs, layouts, specifications, and vendor data
  • Contract requirements (commercial terms, scope boundaries, alternates, unit rates)
  • Strong knowledge of construction methods, safety requirements, and work constraints.
