- Work with other members of Organization such as Engineering, Scheduling, Work Optimization and Cost Analysis, to develop integrated project planning structures such as Work Breakdown Structures (WBS), Estimate Basis Documents, etc. and use these to develop estimates. Support E&CS managers and staff to extend existing Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) for materials and engineering hours. Match materials, WBS breakdown classification with purchasing related catalogue classification and programs (PassPort/SAP). Assist the estimators and equipment engineers in the WBS split up and developing of the project specific bills of materials.
- Assist in the development and maintenance of estimate databases of costs, labour rates, overheads, historic project costs and other relevant data in order to provide accurate estimate templates and to systemize data that enables estimate accuracy to be continuously improved. Extend the analysis of estimating, products and practices, identify and lead the integration of industry best practices for estimating reporting.
- Analyze risks to be considered at the estimate stage. Identify risks that may affect cost or delivery of projects. Act as a liaison between estimators, project managers and E&CS managers in order to create a general Risk Checklist as part of the estimating template.
