Full Job Description

Job Description

Leland Saylor Associates is seeking an experienced Senior Cost Manager / Quantity Surveyor to deliver cost management, cost control, and estimating services on our clients' projects, working in collaboration with our San Francisco Bay Area–based team. Our work supports primarily U.S.-based clients, and this role applies established U.S. estimating and cost-management practices across the full project lifecycle. This is a hybrid role, with on-site presence at our Walnut Creek office required 3 days a week.

To be successful in this role you must have excellent communication skills and be comfortable operating in a client-facing capacity. Candidates must have a Visa or be a US Citizen authorized to work.

Daily Duties

Provide estimating and cost planning, including producing and presenting the final cost plan.
Collaborate with the design services team, general contractor, and owner in the development and reconciliation of cost estimates.
Reconcile changes and assist the general contractor to ensure that their data is accurate.
Meet with the general contractor and owner's project manager to gather status information and prepare cost estimate updates.
Prepare written comments on the general contractor's submissions, including the executive summary.
Estimate and negotiate change orders throughout the construction lifecycle.
Inform and drive design and engineering priorities based on cost impact.
Work proactively with minimal supervision to resolve scheduling and budget issues.
Manage cost checks and carry out progress valuations and pay-application reviews on larger projects.
Manage change control, post-contract cost variances, contingency management, and commitment tracking logs.

Pre-Contract Duties

Develop cost plans and estimates through the design phase, delivering updated cost plans at each design milestone (schematic, design development, and construction documents).
Prepare detailed conceptual cost estimates and cost studies from schematic or feasibility-level documentation.
Provide commercial input to design option analysis and lead value engineering exercises.
Develop variance summaries between estimates as the design evolves.
Prepare detailed instructions to bidders, trade-specific clarifications, and comprehensive bid packages.
Solicit and evaluate subcontractor bids using bid tally sheets, and lead negotiations on behalf of the client to secure fair, competitive pricing.
Make subcontractor award recommendations to the client/owner and support the finalization of subcontracts with trade partners.
Participate in — and often lead — request-for-proposal (RFP) responses and formal cost/budget presentations to the client.

Post-Contract Duties

Perform quantity surveying, cost control, and change management activities throughout the project lifecycle.
Ensure that post-contract cost variances and change control processes are managed effectively.
Produce monthly cost reports for presentation to the client.

Minimum Qualifications

Experience working in a construction cost management or estimating role.
College and/or post-graduate degree in construction management, cost management, quantity surveying, engineering, or a field related to construction.
5+ years of full-lifecycle cost management and/or estimating experience on private and public construction projects.
Professional accreditation a plus. Saylor values the following credentials:
- AACE International certification — Certified Cost Professional (CCP) or Certified Estimating Professional (CEP). Preferred, given our primarily U.S.-based client base.
- Chartered Quantity Surveyor — RICS, CIQS, AIQS recognized as the international equivalent and welcomed from internationally trained candidates.
- ASPE Certified Professional Estimator (CPE)
Working knowledge of U.S. unit costs and the factors that affect construction cost, with the ability to estimate across all scopes of work.
Experience leading cost management on medium to large, high-value building or infrastructure projects of medium to high complexity.
Familiarity with the U.S. competitive bidding process — soliciting and evaluating subcontractor proposals, using bid tally sheets, and making award recommendations.
Software proficiency in estimating and takeoff tools such as On-Screen Takeoff (OST), Bluebeam, WinEst, Sage Estimating (Timberline), or CostX required; Power BI, HCSS, Revit, and Assemble are value-adds.

Featured Benefits

Salary: The salary range for this full-time role is $110K–$195K per year.

401(k), Medical Insurance, Dental Insurance, 100% employer-paid premiums.
