OBJECTIVE:

I am looking for a position as a Piping /Mech Estimator for industrial equipment manufacturing companies in Oil/GAS/LNG/NGL/production, in petroleum refining fields, Fabrications firms, or in Engineering Consultancy organizations.

PROFESSIONAL SUMMARY:

I have 20 years of experience in detailed mechanical equipment cost estimating for bidding and proposals in the oil and gas production equipment industry. I have worked in the Petrochemical and related industries primarily for Cost Estimating and Project Controls of E&C and Onshore/Offshore Production Projects, P&I Ds, PFDs, Plot Plans and have used Detailed Drawings for estimating purposes when available.

I am highly experienced in the technical and administrative aspects of complex mechanical project cost estimation. I have a good overall project experience from instrumentation and mechanical functions in a variety of fields and more in oil and gas production. I can coordinate with all disciplines involved in the cost estimating process. I have made many cost-saving suggestions for mechanical design, cost estimation. and also in work-process improvement. I am known for willingness to perform thorough research, working with all disciplines and in detailed planning to produce the most efficient and effective fabrication and construction methods without compromising on quality or safety.

My career till date demonstrates proven process/project coordination skills, technical research, analyzing, problem solving, attention to detail, and negotiating skills which improve work processes, reduce proposal time, improve proposal accuracy and responsiveness, reduce overall project cost, and contribute to bottom line profitability.

PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE:

Cimarron.com USA- ( 7/18/2018 At Present ) Houston, TX

As a sr Sr.Estimator for oil and gas Production equipment’s division

EXTERRAN USA– (1/14/2011- 3/29/2016 ) Houston, TX

-Responsible for developing detailed cost estimates by reviewing customer RFQ’s, design specifications, and customer supplied data sheets.

-Calculated labor hours, material costs, and weights.

-Communicated with vendors to obtain updated pricing to input into estimates.

-Created a production equipment recap consisting of all associated costs related to the final product (vessels, assembly package, skids, instruments, valves, drafting hours, project management, QAQC, X-RAY cost, required testing costs, data books cost, crane charges, selling price, totally delivery, drawing available and approvals, fabrication time and location, etc.) which helps communicate final costs in an organized manner to all parties involved. Presented management with shop costs, the suggested sell price, actual selling price, and the minimum selling price that provides a maximum profit and savings for the company.
