About The Position

We are seeking a highly analytical and construction-savvy Project Estimator to join our Finance organization and serve as a key liaison between Finance (FP&A) and our Development / Construction teams. This role will be responsible for developing, validating, and maintaining end-to-end cost estimates for capital development projects from origination through completion, including early feasibility analysis, pre-construction budgeting, construction-phase cost controls, and post-project benchmarking. The Project Estimator will play a critical role in ensuring capital budgets are accurate, defensible, and aligned with project execution realities. This position will support decision-making across site selection, project approvals, fundraising/investor reporting, and project delivery, ensuring financial models are grounded in realistic cost assumptions and market-based pricing. This is a highly cross-functional role that combines technical construction estimating, financial forecasting, and strategic partnership with internal stakeholders. Some of the key responsibilities you should expect are the following:
