At Jacobs, we’re making our world better with every project, and we know the importance of accurate estimates to the success of these projects. We’re looking for a skilled Cost Estimator to join our team to help prepare a wide range of estimates - from conceptual to detailed design - for complex industrial, civil, operations and maintenance, military and government facility projects. Based at a client site in Hawaii, you’ll review design documents, proposals, specifications, drawings, attend design development meetings and make sites visits to define the scope of work and cost impacts required of the estimate process.
