Estimator, Modular R&D

Build and own the cost model for the modular data center product, covering every assembly across structural, mechanical, electrical, and controls scopes.

Produce estimates at every design release so the program always knows what the product costs before it commits to build.

Price design alternatives in days, giving engineers cost facts on trade-offs like cooling configuration, electrical distribution, and skid versus site-built scope.

Interrogate vendor quotes line by line with supply chain, and build should-cost models for the equipment categories that dominate unit cost.

Reconcile estimates against actuals after each build and fold the variance back into the model, so the next estimate is tighter than the last.

The below is a starting point. We always make space for exceptional people, so if you don't fit this role exactly, tell us where you would .

You've personally estimated mechanical, electrical, or modular construction scopes: takeoffs, unit pricing, vendor pricing, and a final number you stood behind when the project was won or lost.

You've built cost models other people could run without you in the room, and they held up.

You've reconciled estimate versus actual and changed your assumptions when the data said you were wrong.

You've priced options for engineers in the middle of a design decision, delivering a usable number in hours when the decision couldn't wait.

You know where estimates fail (scope gaps, labor productivity, escalation, freight) and you've caught those failures before they priced a bid.

You've worked directly with design engineers early in product development, where drawings are incomplete and the estimate still has to be right about what matters.

Bonus: Data center or mission-critical estimating. Modular or offsite manufacturing cost experience. NECA or MCAA labor units. Estimating platforms beyond spreadsheets. Early-stage R&D or product cost work.

We are committed to pay equity and transparency.
