The ideal candidate brings underground mining experience, a strong understanding of mechanical systems, and the ability to move projects from the conceptual level into executable plans. + Prepare

• conceptual, preliminary, and definitive estimates
• for underground mining mechanical systems scope (CAPEX/OPEX as applicable). + Perform detailed
• quantity takeoffs
• from drawings, models, and specifications for mechanical packages. + Develop pricing for labor, equipment, materials, subcontractors, indirects, temporary systems, logistics, and commissioning/start-up support. + Solicit and analyze
• vendor and subcontractor quotes
• , ensuring alignment with scope, schedule, and site constraints. + Build and validate
• project-based deliverables
• and maintain historical database and records for streamlining future processes.

• risk, contingency, allowances, and exclusions
• ; document estimate basis and assumptions. + Participate in
• bid strategy, value engineering, and constructability reviews
• with customers, operations and engineering. + Support proposal development: clarifications, scope narratives, estimate summaries, and bid close packages. + 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
