Descrizione del lavoro

TRS Staffing Solutions in Saudi Arabia searches for a Senior Estimator to lead capital cost estimation for brownfield petrochemical plant modifications, revamps, debottlenecking, and upgrades. The role demands 12–15 years in cost estimating within petrochemical environments and at least 5 years on brownfield projects, with strong turnaround knowledge.

You will prepare estimates across conceptual to detailed phases, review docs, and work with engineering, operations, and project controls to

Competenze

• Bachelor's degree in engineering is required.
• 12–15 years cost estimating in petrochemical, chemical processing, refining or industrial manufacturing.
• 5+ years in brownfield modifications, revamps, debottlenecking, or plant expansion.
• Strong understanding of plant turnaround and shutdown activities.
• Experience with conceptual, FEED, and detailed engineering estimates.
• Proficiency with cost estimating software such as ACCE, Cleopatra, CostOS, Prism.
• Knowledge of AACE estimating classifications and practices.
• Experience supporting EPC, EPCM, and self-perform execution models.
• Professional certification such as AACE CCP, CEP, PSP preferred.

Mansioni

• Develop and prepare detailed capital cost estimates for brownfield petrochemical plant modifications, revamps, debottlenecking projects, and facility upgrades.
• Prepare conceptual, feasibility, FEED, and definitive estimates for projects executed within existing operating facilities.
• Review engineering documents, site surveys, P&IDs, plot plans, equipment lists, and material take-offs to ensure accurate cost development.
• Estimate costs associated with tie-ins, hot work, demolition, temporary facilities, plant shutdowns, turnarounds, and construction within live operating environments.
• Evaluate labor productivity impacts, access restrictions, permitting requirements, and operational constraints typically encountered in brownfield projects.
• Develop indirect cost estimates including construction management, temporary facilities, scaffolding, insulation removal and reinstatement, and site support requirements.
• Support risk and contingency analysis by identifying brownfield-specific execution challenges and estimating their potential cost impact.
• Coordinate closely with engineering, operations, maintenance, turnaround, and project controls teams to validate project scope and estimate assumptions.
• Analyze contractor and vendor quotations, benchmark costs against historical projects, and provide recommendations to improve estimate accuracy.
• Prepare estimate basis documentation, cost reports, management presentations, and investment-grade estimates to support project approvals and funding decisions.
