• THE WORK:
  You’ll develop a standardized cost reporting framework for reviewing and validating Colocation Developers’ base building construction costs, preparing estimate evaluation reports based on ROM, Schematic, or Construction pricing.
• You’ll review and validate project scope against predefined demarcation matrices, highlighting deviations, cost impacts, and assumptions or exclusions from developers, AEs, GCs, and Clients.
• You’ll develop reports aligned with Clients’ Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) categories and provide summaries of Site & Shell / Increment 0 / Increment 1-N construction phasing.
• You’ll analyze developer data center construction costs against market intelligence and parametric benchmarks, factoring in Value Engineering cost options for Client consideration.
• You’ll review developer security costs against Client benchmarks and capture all supporting assumptions and exclusions.
• You’ll track design changes between estimate revisions, reporting on cost and schedule impacts.
• You’ll coordinate with in-house commodity teams to leverage current market intelligence for accurate cost evaluations.
• You’ll liaise with Client stakeholders and partner teams, including Energy Location Services (ELS), Central Estimating, and others to align on estimating and program costs.
• You’ll prepare and provide high-level ROM estimates to support program planning, annual capex planning, and pipeline projects.
• You’ll develop cost modeling tools to generate high-level estimates, improve benchmark capture, and perform additional duties as assigned.
• Remote: This role allows for remote work for the majority of your work hours.
  With all our roles, there is some in-person time for collaboration, learning and building relationships with clients, peers, leaders and communities. As an employer, we will be as flexible as possible to support your specific work/life needs.
