The posting

Venture Dynamics is seeking an experienced Pipe Estimator to develop detailed labor and material estimates for shipboard and shop repairs on U.S. Navy vessels. The Pipe Estimator works from drawings, work item specifications, and on-site ship checks to turn repair requirements into accurate, bid-ready proposals alongside production, project management, and subcontractors. This ship repair estimator role has direct input into how work gets priced and executed. This role is offered on a contract basis, with strong potential for long-term or permanent placement based on performance and client need.

Responsibilities

  • Serve as the Pipe Estimator on assigned work items, developing labor and material estimates for repairs, upgrades, alterations, and maintenance on government vessels.

  • Interpret work item specifications and drawings, and write inquiries to customers when requirements need clarification.
  • Identify all cost elements, including trade man-hours, subcontracts, rentals, and materials, and build work breakdown structures to support proposals and negotiations.
  • Solicit and evaluate subcontractor quotes, prepare subcontract and rental requisitions, and work with the subcontracts group to resolve technical and schedule issues.
  • Track ongoing jobs using cost reports, purchase order data, site observations, and production feedback to sharpen future man-hour and material estimates.
  • Set the execution approach with project and production management and plan estimating work to fit the department schedule.
  • Use computer systems and estimating programs to store and retrieve cost data and develop estimates into proper bid format.

Requirements

  • BA/BS in a related field, AA/AS plus two years of directly related experience, or six years of directly related experience.
  • Working knowledge of shipboard nomenclature, systems, equipment, spaces, and configuration.
  • Knowledge of labor and material costs for ship repair, alteration, and maintenance work.
  • Ability to read and interpret drawings and work item specifications.
  • Comfortable using computers to retrieve data and work across estimating and reporting programs.
  • Able to climb ladders and work in tanks and confined spaces aboard vessels and in the drydock.
  • Must be able to obtain base access (DBIDS) as required by the military installation.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Strong pipe background.
  • Navy or NAVSEA ship repair experience.
  • Experience with ship repair cost reports and purchase order data.

Additional Information

Vessel and drydock areas can be dirty, dusty, hot or cold, and noisy. PPE is required in shipyard and vessel areas in accordance with site safety policies.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
