We are seeking a talented and highly motivated individual to join CCE as a Senior Cost Estimator for our utility-scale solar and battery energy storage system (BESS) pipeline.
Key Responsibilities
Build and continuously improve the cost estimating process so every solar and BESS project carries an estimate tied to its actual design, scope, and stage-appropriate contingency.
Serve as the primary owner of the cost estimate product, gathering and reconciling input from development, engineering, finance, and construction stakeholders.
Maintain and evolve the Excel-based cost model, and streamline reporting so estimates are easy to consume for stakeholders at every level.
Continue to refine how cost estimates get requested, assigned, tracked, and version-controlled across the organization.
Build training materials to bring new estimating team members up to speed.
Audit incoming EPC bids for technical accuracy across both solar and storage scopes.
Track emerging solar and storage technologies and advise the team on how they shift forward cost expectations.
Travel to project sites as needed (roughly 2-3 trips per year) to see projects firsthand.
Requirements
5+ years of relevant experience overall, including 2-4 years specifically in cost estimating; solar or battery storage project development, construction, finance, or engineering consulting backgrounds all welcome.
A bachelor's degree in Civil, Mechanical, or Electrical Engineering, Physics, Construction Management, or a related field.
Advanced Excel skills and hands-on experience building cost estimating tools.
Comfort with Microsoft Office.
Solid grasp of the full utility-scale solar project lifecycle, plus working knowledge of battery energy storage systems.
A self-starter who's equally comfortable working solo or as part of a team, and who knows when to ask for help.
Comfort adjusting course quickly as facts and priorities shift.
A clear, proactive communication style that works across every level of the organization.
