• Proficient in AutoCAD; experience with Revit / BIM is a strong plus.
• Strong in quantity takeoffs, BOQ preparation, rate analysis, and cost breakdowns.
• Comfortable using Excel for estimation models, comparisons, and dashboards.
• Familiarity with estimating tools (e.g., CostX, Bluebeam, OST, or similar) is advantageous.
• Ability to read and interpret P&IDs, singleline diagrams, layout drawings, specifications, and datasheets.

Commercial & Soft Skills

• Strong analytical and numerical ability with high accuracy in calculations.
• Good vendor and subcontractor management skills; comfortable negotiating prices and terms.
