Building on our past. Ready for the future
Worley is a global professional services company of energy, chemicals and resources experts headquartered in Australia.
Right now, we’re bridging two worlds as we accelerate to more sustainable energy sources, while helping our customers provide the energy, chemicals and resources that society needs now.
We partner with our customers to deliver projects and create value over the life of their portfolio of assets. We solve complex problems by finding integrated data-centric solutions from the first stages of consulting and engineering to installation and commissioning, to the last stages of decommissioning and remediation. Join us and help drive innovation and sustainability in our projects.
The Role
As an Estimator II with Worley, you will work closely with our existing team to deliver projects for our clients while continuing to develop your skills and experience etc.
The Projects Portfolio Cost Estimator scope involves the translation of Project scope into the estimate of capital and operational expenditure cost during the project phases (Identify, Assess, Select, Define and Execute). The estimates completed by the cost estimator not only cover the costs associated with the engineering, procurement, construction, implementation commissioning and start-up but also address the translation of the project risk profile into cost contingency via deterministic and probabilistic methods, the potential effect of market movements over the project timescale, and the complete suite of “Owners Costs” that Shell will experience.
Formulate methodologies for deriving quantities from design parameters.
project teams on scenario comparisons, uncertainty analysis and sensitivities on cost estimates, reflecting analysis of project risks.
Support reviews and assurance of cost estimates. Benchmark against historical performance, industry norms and established KPIs.
Assess prospect scope and develop consistent estimates ranging from Type 0 to Type 4.
Work with Planning & Cost Engineers to ensure alignment between planning and cost deliverables.
Arrange Estimate Kick Offs and Estimate Review meetings with the stakeholders.
Develop Estimate Plan detailing how the estimate will be developed.
Develop Estimate Basis to document how estimate was developed.
Support process to collect actual cost performance, condition and normalise data for future use, develop metrics and benchmarking information.
Additional Responsibility:
Develop benchmarking packages at appropriate level to check estimate results from top down versus both internal and external comparable data.
Work with IPA forms and reports to understand comparison of Shell projects to industry datasets.
Utilise Technical, Economical, Commercial, Organisational & Political (TECOP) profile to establish appropriate deterministic cost contingency.
Support development of deterministic cost model and probabilistic cost analysis.
Support project teams with presentations, dashboards.
Update SharePoint with Estimates, Benchmark data and relevant data for future reference.
Provide assurance and challenge, as needed, on detailed project cost estimates (Type 4).
Incorporate project actual costs to date and detailed MTOs from IFC (Issue For Construction) design packages matched with detailed pricing and construction unit hours to establish remaining project costs.
Perform uncertainty analysis and sensitivities on cost estimates, reflecting analysis of project risks.
Utilize appropriate deterministic or probabilistic risk assessment tools to develop the appropriate cost contingencies.
