Supplier & Subcontractor Management
Obtain, analyse, and consolidate quotations from suppliers and subcontractors.
Assess costs for materials, specialist processes (e.g., NDT, coating, machining), transport, and outsourced fabrication.
Evaluate commercial competitiveness and risks within the supply chain
Planning & Coordination
Develop preliminary schedules and delivery programmes to support tender submissions and resource planning.
Liaise with engineering, production, procurement, and quality teams to validate estimate assumptions.
Engage with clients to clarify technical queries and align expectations
Bid Support & Handover

Support smooth handover of awarded projects to delivery teams, ensuring clarity on estimating assumptions and scope.
Continuous Improvement
Maintain and enhance estimating databases, cost models, and productivity benchmarks.
Capture lessons learned from completed projects to improve future estimates.
Skills & Experience
Strong knowledge of utility piping systems, pipe fabrication, and structural steel fabrication processes.
Proven experience in preparing detailed cost estimates and material take-offs.
Ability to interpret isometric drawings, P&IDs, fabrication drawings, and steelwork details.
Good understanding of welding processes, fabrication sequences, and workshop operations.
Familiarity with ISO 3834-2, ISO 1090, and associated quality and compliance requirements.
Strong commercial awareness, including supplier evaluation and risk assessment.
