Cost Estimator

E-Logic provides specialized technical and professional services to support complex government programs and facilities. Our teams work side by side with Department of Defense stakeholders to plan, design, and deliver mission-critical infrastructure around the world.

We combine deep domain expertise in federal construction with a commitment to rigorous analysis, integrity, and collaboration, helping our clients make sound decisions on high-impact projects.

The Opportunity

As a Cost Estimator with E-Logic, you will be the go-to expert for independent construction cost estimating on planning, design, renovation, and construction projects at NSA Naples, Italy, with frequent travel to NSA Bahrain. Your work will directly influence how the Navy plans, funds, and executes facility upgrades and new construction across an active operational environment. This role is ideal for an experienced construction cost professional who wants to own complex estimates, apply DoD and NAVFAC standards, and be embedded with government project teams from concept through execution, including work in challenging, austere environments where your expertise has immediate, visible impact.

What You’ll Do

• Prepare, review, and reconcile IGEs and planning, parametric, detailed, ROM, and modification estimates.
• Develop and maintain a defensible Basis of Estimate; obtain and document current market data.
• Support contracting and negotiations by analyzing contractor cost proposals for fairness and reasonableness.

What Success Looks Like

• Within the first 6-12 months, you are the trusted cost advisor for multiple concurrent projects at NSA Naples and NSA Bahrain, with your estimates regularly used to set budgets and negotiate contracts.
• IGEs, ROMs, and quantity take‑offs are consistently delivered on time, aligned with DoD, DON, and NAVFAC policies, and require minimal revisions.
• Contractor proposals and change orders are thoroughly analyzed, with your recommendations helping the government secure fair, reasonable, and well‑documented pricing outcomes.
• Project teams and stakeholders actively seek your input early in planning and design, recognizing your ability to translate technical scope and field conditions into accurate, defendable costs.

What We’re Looking For

• Minimum 5 years of professional construction cost estimating (new construction, renovation, repair, demolition, maintenance, and contract modifications).
• Certified Cost Professional (CCP, AACE International), Tri‑Service Cost Consultant, or equivalent credential -- desirable.
• Knowledge of MII/MCACES, RSMeans, and PACES; DoD/DON/NAVFAC cost estimating criteria; WBS (UNIFORMAT II, MasterFormat).
• Education in construction management, architecture, engineering, cost estimating, quantity surveying, business, or economics -- desirable; 3-5 years design/construction experience desired.
• U.S. citizen with a current, active DoD Secret clearance.
• Valid driver’s license.

Compensation and Benefits

• Compensation commensurate with experience and qualifications.
• Opportunity to work on high‑visibility U.S. Navy and DoD construction projects in overseas locations.
• Full‑time position.
• Frequent Temporary Duty (TDY) travel to NSA Bahrain (up to ten trips of approximately ten days each per performance period).
