Job Description
Insight Global is looking for an experienced Estimator to support the Project Dev & Delivery Team for one of their largest utility clients in NYC.

This individual will be responsible for developing conceptual, authorization, and appropriation-level cost estimates that support interconnection studies, execution agreements, load relief projects, and major utility infrastructure investments.

They will work closely with engineering, project management, construction, and external stakeholders to determine how projects will be built, including evaluating foundations, construction sequencing, and multidisciplinary electrical, civil, and mechanical scopes. Success in this role requires strong communication skills, sound judgment, a high level of accuracy, and the ability to support multiple large-scale projects simultaneously.
