Estimator/Cost Manager - EV Construction

Turner & Townsend is seeking an experienced Estimator/Cost Manager to act as the key, day‑to‑day client interface on large, mission‑critical construction programs.

This role is responsible for ensuring client objectives are met through the delivery of disciplined, value‑added commercial and cost management services across complex, schedule‑driven projects.

The successful candidate will be confident in a client‑facing environment, highly organized, and comfortable operating independently while collaborating within integrated project teams.

In this position, you will provide commercial support during design and construction, supporting the successful delivery of complex campus‑scale facilities that include infrastructure‑heavy works, MEP‑intensive buildings, and fleet‑support systems such as EV charging.

You will represent and promote Turner & Townsend’s purpose, values, and commitment to excellence while supporting best‑practice commercial governance throughout the project lifecycle.

This role offers flexibility for remote work; however, proximity to the SF Bay Area and the ability to engage locally with project teams and stakeholders will be viewed as a significant advantage.

Responsibilities

Act as the primary day‑to‑day commercial interface with the client during design and construction. Provide cost planning, estimating, and forecasting services, including producing and presenting cost plans at key design and construction milestones.

Establish and maintain robust cost control, change management, and commercial governance processes. Estimate, review, negotiate, and manage change orders throughout the construction lifecycle.

Review contractor and subcontractor pricing for accuracy, entitlement, and value for money, leading negotiations on behalf of the client where required. Manage contingency, commitment tracking, cost‑to‑complete forecasting, and cost variance analysis.

Perform post‑contract quantity surveying, cost control, valuations, and payment certification
