Senior Cost Manager

$145k

CBRE

About the Role

As a Senior Cost Manager, you will oversee multiple multi-disciplined commercial real estate cost solutions for clients with direct or indirect accountability for cost delivery. The ideal candidate will play an integral part in the Building Consultancy function and will be responsible for specialty building services including surveying, inspections, and planning.

This role will be remote but work east coast hours. This person will support building new construction estimates, budgets, forecasts, and more.

What You'll Do

  • Evaluate project scope and client needs to create and present recommended budgets for necessary pre-bid and pre-construction cost estimating and cost planning services.

  • Create concept-level estimates to aid feasibility studies and assist with business cases, leveraging a range of information from simple internal benchmarking to detailed market data.

  • Collaborate with the client and Sr. Project Managers to ensure all work is funded in compliance with the client's internal policies.

  • Create and manage a detailed cost plan and maintain detailed cost reports for client review.

  • Review and report all bid responses to the client. Include recommendations for items such as high-value allowances, contingencies, and reserves.

  • Align cost plan with project master schedule. Establish a strategy to manage cash flows and project accruals and report progress.

  • Mentor others to develop in-depth knowledge and expertise in most or all areas within the function.

  • Lead by example and model behaviors which are consistent with CBRE RISE values by persuading others to adopt a different point of view.

  • Impact the achievement of customer, operational, project, or service objectives across multi-discipline teams.

  • Contribute to new products, processes, standards, and operational plans in support of achieving functional goals.

What You'll Need

  • Bachelor's Degree preferred with 8 years of cost experience. In lieu of a degree, a combination of experience in cost and education will be considered.

  • Minimum of 8 years of cost management or estimating/surveying experience is required.

  • Ability to calculate complex figures such as percentages, fractions, and other financial-related calculations.

  • Applicants must be currently authorized to work in the United States without the need for visa sponsorship now or in the future.
