Estimation Engineer

We are looking 7 to 10 UAE Experience 

Estimator, also known as cost planners, are responsible for estimating the costs of a planned construction project in terms of the labor, equipment and materials required. They typically work for construction contractors (that build the project) and are involved in the pre-construction phase of the project at the tendering stage (in which a construction company bids for the work, stating at what price and to what timescale it could complete it). Projects can be new builds or ongoing maintenance or refurbishment work.

responsibilities:

• analysing plans, bills of quantities and other project documentation in order to estimate costs
• researching, sourcing, negotiating and obtaining the best prices and quotes from suppliers and subcontractors
• analysing data that can affect costs (such as currency exchange rates and the company’s productivity rates)
• assessing the financial, technical and operational risks of the project
• visiting project sites to gather information
• staying aware of the latest construction technologies
• keeping up to date with the latest regulatory and legislative requirements
• inputting into decisions over whether to bid for the project
• working closely with key members of the project team (such as the bid manager) and liaising with clients and suppliers
• keeping detailed records and writing reports.
