Turner & Townsend is seeking an experienced Senior Estimator to join our Data Center team in support of a major hyperscale data center construction program. These projects include large-scale land development, new builds, retrofits, and leased facilities, all designed to meet the growing demand for advanced technology infrastructure. As a Senior Estimator, you will play a critical role in developing accurate cost plans and estimates for complex, multi-phase projects that involve significant site development and cutting-edge construction methods. This position requires strong analytical skills, deep knowledge of estimating practices, and the ability to collaborate across design, procurement, and construction teams.

  • Lead and support preconstruction budget development, including pricing revisions through GMP.
  • Develop and refine detailed estimates for hyperscale data center projects across multiple regions.
  • Present cost plans and estimates to stakeholders, ensuring clarity and alignment with project objectives.
  • Manage cost planning from concept through detailed design, incorporating land development and new build considerations.
  • Deliver updated cost plans at key design milestones and provide program-level estimates for specific scopes.
  • Drive value engineering exercises to identify cost-saving opportunities without compromising performance.
  • Analyze design changes, new technologies, and construction methods to assess cost impacts.
  • Collaborate with design, procurement, and construction teams to ensure alignment between scope, budget, and schedule.
  • Coordinate estimating efforts with internal teams and external consultants/vendors.
  • Mentor junior estimating staff and promote best practices.
  • Maintain historical cost data and contribute to benchmarking and cost model development.
  • Evaluate cost-effectiveness of alternative materials, systems, and construction methods.
  • Support training initiatives for internal and client-side estimating teams.
  • Prepare executive-level presentations for preconstruction and estimating leadership.
  • Deliver life cycle cost models and support total cost of ownership analysis.
  • Participate in risk assessments and contingency planning related to cost and scope changes.
  • SOX control responsibilities may be part of this role and must be adhered to where applicable.
  • Bachelor’s degree in Construction Management, Quantity Surveying, Engineering, or related field.
  • 10+ years of experience in estimating for large-scale construction projects; data center or mission-critical experience strongly preferred.
  • Expertise in preconstruction estimating, cost planning, and GMP development.
  • Strong understanding of land development, site work, and large-scale building systems.
  • Ability to analyze complex design documents and provide accurate cost impacts.
  • Excellent communication and presentation skills for client-facing interactions.
  • Proficiency in industry-standard estimating tools and software.
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with attention to detail.
  • Ability to work effectively in a fast-paced environment with multiple priorities.
