The Capital Projects Cost Manager will support the finance evolution, planning, and procurement of manufacturing facilities, factory expansions, and infrastructure improvements. Reporting through Finance, this position will partner with Engineering, Construction, Manufacturing, and Facilities to translate technical requirements into reliable cost estimates and actionable investment recommendations.

This role will work with internal engineers to develop preliminary project scopes and designs, establish feasibility budgets, and help evaluate project viability. As projects advance, the estimator will develop budgets for completing design and delivering construction, refine estimates through the 60–100% design stages, and support competitive bidding.
