Senior Structural Steel Estimator
CurrentI am currently working as a Senior Structural Steel Estimator at Orizon a Spitzer Company located in Brookshire, Texas. Orizon is an AISC certified Fabrication Facility primarily on Large Industrial Projects.One I am assigned a project to Quote I handle everything necessary to write the Proposal that's sent to the client. I coordinate with and send out RFQ to our suppliers, I do a detailed Material Takeoff using Bluebeam and E.J.E Material Manager software. I determine the cost of materials, and the Shop Labor to determine the Cost to Fabricate the Project. In the Proposal I specify everything that will be Included, Excluded, and Clarify how I came up with the cost of that Project. I coordinate with sales, Project Management, and Management as required. I often write Change Orders when there is significant change to the Project. When a client wants clarification to the Proposal, I handle that. My background in Structural Steel Detailing and Checking is a great advantage when I am task to estimate a Project when the drawings are incomplete, or there is a basic sketch with just a basic layout.
