• Temporary works and access solutions
• Construction sequencing and phasing
• Site logistics, laydown, and material flow
• Define and defend constructability assumptions based on drawings, specifications, and site constraints.
• Identify execution constraints early and integrate them into the technical proposal.

The role owns the civil logic of the bid and does not rely on third-party inputs to define how the project will be built.

• Ensure proposals are internally consistent, technically credible, and aligned with RFP scoring criteria.
• Review and finalize all technical sections prior to submission.

3. Alignment with Estimation & Commercial Pricing

• Work directly with estimators to ensure:
• Civil methodologies are accurately reflected in pricing.
• Quantities, productivity rates, preliminaries, and temporary works align with the proposed execution strategy.
• Actively challenge pricing assumptions that conflict with the technical approach.
• Ensure that exclusions, assumptions, and qualifications are technically defensible and coherent with the proposal narrative.

4. Programme, Sequencing & Cash Flow Input

• Define the construction sequencing logic that underpins the bid programme.
• Review and influence:
• Construction schedules
• Key milestones
• Critical paths
• Ensure the programme reflects:

• Methodology assumptions
• Resource loading and access logic
• Provide technical input into:
• Cash flow profiles
• Construction phasing impacts on revenue and cost timing

5. Risk Identification & Technical Governance

• Identify civil, constructability, and execution risks at bid stage.
• Ensure risks are:
• Addressed in methodology
• Considered in pricing and programme
• Clearly articulated in risk registers and clarifications
• Lead the drafting of technical clarifications, assumptions, and responses to client queries.
• Support post-submission technical negotiations and clarifications.

6. Bid Review & Quality Control

• Ensure full technical compliance with:
• RFP requirements
• Specifications
• Applicable codes and standards
• Participate in bid kick-off meetings with clear ownership of the civil and constructability scope.
• Conduct internal technical reviews to ensure:
• No disconnect between drawings, method, price, and schedule
• The proposal can be defended post-award
