As Project Estimator develop solar estimates to include the following scopes of work:♦ Distributed Generations (DG) Ground Mount projects size ranging from 1MW to 30MW.♦ Rooftop♦ Carport♦ Utility Scale Ground Mount Projects 75MW and aboveDevelop scopes of work and solicit subcontractor quotes for Electrical, Mechanical, and Civil work. In addition, reach out to material vendors for racking, inverters, switchgear, etc.Review each estimate with Estimating Manager and management team.

♦ Develop complex utility scale solar estimates ranging from 75MWac to 400MWac in size. Completed 188 solar estimates in 2020 and 117 in 2021 with expedited two-week timeline to develop each P50 estimate. Utilize an in-house, customized excel template to compile each estimate.♦ Review estimate request project components and details pertaining to site, anticipated substation and transmission line size; using Google Earth, prepare layout/array site footprint to accurately determine quantities for materials required for service and access roads, homeruns and alternating current (AC) collection quantities.♦ To ensure quality of estimates, determine requirements and evaluate key subsurface conditions (soil type, depth to rock and ground water tables) using ArcGIS software; assess need for pre drill prior to pile installations.♦ Routinely interact with assigned Early-Stage Project Managers to identify/resolve issues, and complete any necessary adjustments during the estimate development (i.e., layout, schedule, project setback, shading issues, existing structures, ponds on-site, etc.)♦ Manage and participate in team bid reviews in preparation for final reviews with project managers and upper management.

♦ Appointed as lead estimator to complete the first Aeroderivative extended scope estimate, developed estimating templates for EEP and turnkey should cost estimates.♦ Spearheaded multiple short cycle proposals critical for the business. Worked on the Skanska proposal which led to win a 207FA combine cycle power plant in Brazil.♦ Identified as the Wind Segment lead estimator-enhanced the wind bid form for supply & erect/turnkey proposals with the eLIFT work breakdown structure.♦ Led team to “clean-up” the Success estimating system cost library; devised a plan and methodology to drive consistency, accuracy and speed to the estimating process.♦ Prepared and reviewed Engineer Equipment Package (EEP/EEP+), Simple/Combined Cycle conceptual and detailed Lump Sum/Fixed Price Capital Cost Estimates; conducted bid review with upper management.♦ Developed Should Cost (check estimates) to construct a full-scale power plant for comparison against alliance EPC partners bid estimate to evaluate/review if large cost gaps exist for a given scope of work. In addition, used to determine what is the best final bid number.

♦ Provided estimate support on several projects for the U.S. Navy Northern Division Remediation Action 5-year, $250M Delivery Order Contract.♦ Lead estimator on awarded remediation proposals: $18.7M in revenue. ♦ Improved Executive Summary Report to increase efficiency in report preparation. ♦ Supervise junior estimators in preparing cost estimates, preliminary project schedules and obtaining vendor quotes.
