Why This Role Matters

This role is highly supportive in ensuring accuracy, coordination, and consistency throughout the tendering and pre-contract process.

• Identify discrepancies, scope gaps, and uncertainties, consulting with the Estimator to ensure clarity and alignment.
• Maintain a strong working knowledge of overall project specifications and requirements.

Quantity Take-Off & BoQ Preparation

• Perform accurate quantity take-offs based on tender drawings, 3D models, and the applicable contract type (remeasured, lump sum, EPC, etc.).
• Coordinate with draftspersons to produce marked-up drawings to support detailed quantity take-offs.
• Provide reliable quantity data to materials engineers and submission engineers throughout the tender process.
• Follow up on post-tender queries, clarifications, and correspondence, providing necessary inputs to the Estimator.
• Review contract documents upon project award to ensure alignment with tender-stage submissions and related communications.
• Support Estimators in preparing for project award kick-off meetings.
• Assist in addressing quantity-related queries raised by the project site team.

Documentation & Knowledge Management

• Organize and upload quantity take-off workbooks, cost sheets, and comparison sheets into the designated system to ensure proper documentation, traceability, and knowledge retention.

Qualifications

• Possess professional accreditation (e.g., MRICS or equivalent) as an advantage but not mandatory.
• Have 0–5 years of experience in quantity surveying or construction cost control.
• Gain exposure to infrastructure or marine projects.
• Work on tendering or construction projects in the Middle East.
• Understand basic international contract frameworks (e.g., FIDIC) as a plus.
• Review tender documents and identify scope inconsistencies with guidance.
• Prepare quantity take-offs from drawings and specifications.
• Support the preparation of WBS, Bills of Quantities (BoQ), and cost estimates.
• Demonstrate proficiency in Excel; familiarity with cost estimation software (CANDY) is an advantage.
• Manipulate 3D and BIM models.
• Communicate fluently in English.
