Estimator Jobs in Ohio

An Estimator in the construction industry is responsible for forecasting the cost, time, materials, and labor required for a construction project. They analyze data such as drawings, specifications, and proposals to prepare detailed cost estimates. They work closely with architects, engineers, and contractors to understand the scope of work, and use specialized software to assist with this process. Estimators play a critical role in determining the viability of a project and in helping to establish project budgets.

Essential skills for an Estimator include strong analytical abilities, attention to detail, excellent communication skills, and proficiency in using estimating software. They should also have a good understanding of construction methods and materials. A degree in construction management, engineering, or a related field is usually required. Some important certifications for this role include the Certified Professional Estimator (CPE) and the Certified Cost Professional (CCP). Prior to becoming an Estimator, individuals may have roles such as a Quantity Surveyor, Construction Project Manager, or Cost Engineer.
