Core Responsibilities & Competencies

Estimating at Cabin isnt just about numbers its aboutinformed decision-making,risk reduction, andshared success.

  • 3. Assessing Risk

  • Conduct deep-dive site and document reviews to identify "hidden" risks (subsurface conditions, hydrological windows, and site access) and price them accurately.
  • Proactively identify project risks (environmental, logistical, or financial) and seek cost-saving or process-improvement opportunities.
  • 4. Quantifying the "Sweet Spot"

  • Develop comprehensive budgets that reflect the specialized nature of our work, ensuring we aren't underpricing the high-value expertise we bring to sensitive environments.
  • 5. Work Planning

  • Develop detailed work plans and schedules, ensuring that estimating data translates seamlessly into a realistic project timeline.
  • 6. Supply Chain Management

  • Source and negotiate pricing with specialized suppliers and subcontractors; prepare purchase orders and subcontracts.
  • 7. Collaboration

  • Act as a technical bridge between clients, consultants, and our field teams to ensure smooth project handoffs and delivery.

  • Mentor others in the organization in the art of estimating.
  • Required Skills & Experience

  • Experience : Minimum 5 years of related experience in estimating, project coordination, or project management within the light civil, environmental or recreation sectors.

  • Tech Stack : Advanced Excel, Bluebeam, and Project Management software (Procore / Timberline / etc).
