There are estimator jobs in manufacturing and construction industries. Advanced companies use software solutions to aide the estimator’s complex job responsibilities. The majority of cost estimators are employed in the construction industry. The advancement and expansion of many businesses, construction of residential buildings, condominiums, and apartment complexes including buildings are reliant on the estimator jobs. The HVAC industry also provides jobs of for cost estimators. In cities where these three industries are the strongest, jobs abound.

Estimator jobs responsibilities include the cost mainly, the size of the project and the length of many projects. It is vital to have accurate forecasts for the business to survive. Developing in formations such as costs, bid, projects, and product profitability is the cost estimator’s main concern. The projects are carefully studied and determine whether it profitable or not. Estimators also analyze costs, the duration of the projects, how many workers to hire, materials to use, location, which equipment to use, including the use of computers solutions. The size of the project determines then role or duties of an estimator.

Estimator jobs differ by the industry that offers them. On large scale projects in construction for example, the estimator’s job begins before a bid is submitted for the proposed project. The estimator would then review the specifications, drawings and pay a visit to conduct an ocular inspection of the project. The information needed by the estimator covers landscape, access, and utility availability like electricity, water, and drainage. This information promptly recorded as a basis for the final estimate for the project.



After the completion of such surveys the estimator creates a summary of the entire project cost which may include everything including insurance, overhead, labor costs, materials, etc. Other jobs include the chief estimator which presents the proposal to the owner. On large scale construction projects, many estimators are employed, each has their own specialization including HVAC, excavating, electrical works, concrete and plumbing.

Some of the estimator jobs in the manufacturing industry have similarities of job roles as in construction. Manufacturing estimators work in the engineering department, pricing or costing. The estimator’s job is to accurately approximate the production and developing costs of the products. The production design costs, the new product line manufacturing and redesigning the product costs are the estimators’ main responsibilities. He has to oversee everything of the process including evaluation of drawings and blueprints to ascertain machine operations and other materials required for the production.

In the local government, the estimator jobs are price analysts, cost and production control manager and operations researchers. Meeting deadlines and travelling most of the time is the estimator’s typical day at work and constant communications with the subcontractors, the head office, and subsidiaries. Estimators work 40 hours per week and can work overtime. The job is demanding and stressful because they carry the responsibility of the firm’s reputation and more money is lost when deadlines are not met.

Estimator jobs are almost everywhere, from schools, bridges, highways, hospitals, residential, subways, airports, roads, buildings, power plants, factories, restaurants, and museum. Major industrial, commercial, and residential centers are estimator’s paradise. The jobs outlook is fast increasing. If you have a bachelor’s degree in cost estimation, you are on track. Some estimator jobs are best when you have a degree in construction management, construction science, and building science. An applicant with ample knowledge of software applications is an advantage especially in cost estimating software, accounting, ERP, or other service software.
