Intermediate Capital Cost Estimator (Mechanical)

TWD is seeking an Intermediate Capital Cost Estimator (Mechanical) to develop accurate cost estimates for mechanical equipment, specialized piping, HVAC, and structural components for industrial manufacturing and Food & Beverage projects. The ideal candidate has a strong focus on the mechanical discipline, with a grasp of hygienic design principles and HACCP requirements.

Requirements

• Estimate Development: Prepare detailed material take-offs (MTOs) from P&IDs and 3D models for process piping, sanitary/hygienic piping (304/316L SS), and utility piping (chilled water, compressed air, steam).
• HACCP & Hygienic Design: Apply HACCP principles to mechanical estimating, ensuring accurate pricing for sanitary design elements such as orbital welding (including specialized inspection/boroscopy), elimination of dead legs, surface finish (Ra) requirements, and CIP/SIP (Clean/Sterilize-In-Place) systems.
• Equipment Pricing: Solicit and evaluate vendor budgetary quotes for specialized F&B equipment, including homogenizers, pasteurizers, sanitary pumps, and advanced material handling systems.
• Brownfield Allowances: Apply specific productivity adjustments for brownfield environments, accounting for dust control, temporary hygienic hoarding, and tie-ins to live sanitary mechanical systems.
• Labor Norms: Apply standard industry labor man-hour norms to mechanical installations and adjust for site-specific conditions, clean-build requirements, and specialized sanitary welding rates.
• AACE Compliance: Assist in the preparation of AACE Class 3 and Class 2 detailed estimates, ensuring clear basis of estimate (BOE) documentation.
