Intermediate Capital Cost Estimator (Electrical & Instrumentation)
Greentree, PA, United States
Overview
We are looking for an experienced Electrical & Instrumentation (E&I) Cost Estimator to support industrial capital projects, particularly within Food & Beverage and manufacturing environments.
In this role, you will be responsible for developing detailed and accurate cost estimates for electrical, instrumentation, and process automation scopes. You will review technical drawings, perform material take-offs, estimate labor requirements, coordinate with vendors, and help develop the electrical and instrumentation sections of project cost estimates.
A key aspect of this position is understanding food safety requirements, including HACCP compliance and specialized equipment designed for harsh washdown and sanitary environments.
Responsibilities
- Perform detailed material take-offs from single-line diagrams, instrument indexes, cable schedules, and loop diagrams for power, control, and network architectures.
- Account for HACCP requirements in E&I estimates, including washdown-rated (NEMA 4X/IP69K) enclosures, sanitary sensors for monitoring Critical Control Points (CCPs), standoffs for equipment, and hygienic cable routing practices that prevent debris accumulation.
- Estimate costs for process automation specific to Food & Beverage and manufacturing, including machine vision systems, PLCs, DCS, SCADA systems, and automated packaging controls.
- Price greenfield underground duct banks while also estimating brownfield challenges such as upgrading legacy field instruments without disrupting production or compromising food safety.
- Apply appropriate labor hours for cable pulling (in sanitary stainless steel tray systems), terminations, instrument calibration, and loop testing, factoring in site-specific productivity and hygiene protocols.
- Author the E&I section of the Basis of Estimate (BOE) document and engage with electrical/automation vendors to obtain current market pricing for specialized, food-grade instrumentation.
Requirements
- 4–7 years of estimating experience dedicated to Electrical and Instrumentation scopes in process, manufacturing, or Food & Beverage environments.
- Degree or diploma in Electrical Engineering, Instrumentation Technology, or Journeyman Electrician/Instrumentation certification with equivalent estimating experience.
- Knowledge of instrumentation and control systems specifically designed for food safety, harsh washdown environments, and HACCP compliance.
- Familiarity with AACE Recommended Practices; actively working towards AACE certification is an asset.
- Experience with consulting cost and schedule risk assessments is a plus.
