Construction Cost Estimator - Data Center Infrastructure
Not Disclosed•Full-TimeOn-site
location_on622, Villa Street, Mountain View, Santa Clara County, California, 94041, United States
About the Role
This position serves as a strategic partner to data center design teams, bridging the gap between conceptual infrastructure and financial reality. The Estimator will develop high-level and project-specific construction cost estimates for new designs across U.S. markets. By evaluating drawings and design packages, you will utilize tools like RSMeans and historical project data to determine expected construction costs.
The role is critical for establishing cost comparability between design options, particularly in scenarios where estimates are required but reliable data is not yet available. You will support ad hoc estimating requests for new designs, design alternatives, and early-stage feasibility assessments. A key aspect of this position is working directly with internal design teams to guide decisions before projects move to General Contractor-led phases.
