Resolve highly technical and unusual design and field engineering problems by conducting independent studies and analysis, exercising independent judgment in selecting and interpreting information, and recommending safe engineering designs to support successful operations and/or project completion.
Participate in engineering practices by conducting independent studies and analysis, contributing to the development of technical standards, exercising judgment in selecting and interpreting information, recommending safe engineering designs, and making decisions related to methods and designs, as well as providing guidance and advice to other engineering professionals.

Gathers information on project scope of work and contracting plans and assists in establishing the project work breakdown structure in preparation for estimating.
Develops and manages the estimating work package or activities for the project; reviews the work packages of others for completeness versus the project scope before incorporating them into the project estimate.
Communicates with and reviews the work and progress of assigned staff, consultants, and contractors, ensuring accuracy, achievement of required results, and adherence to accepted engineering practice and procedures.
Prepares information to support regulatory processes.
Prepares for, coordinates, conducts, or presents estimates at management review meetings or meetings addressing issues related to the estimate/schedule in a project.
Reviews final estimate packages to ensure they meet all requirements and addresses comments from reviewers prior to final approvals/acceptance.
