Role Summary: The Planning, Assessment & Cost Estimator Engineer will serve as the primary analytical hub for the company’s internal operations. This role is not client-facing; it is focused on providing the executive team with precise, un-biased internal evaluations of upcoming projects. You will analyze Client BOQs to determine real-world costs, identify potential structural or mechanical risks, and develop a comprehensive "Internal Playbook" for execution.
Key Responsibilities:
1. Technical Assessment & Project Evaluation Conduct deep-dive assessments of project blueprints, spanning both Civil (structural, earthworks, infrastructure) and Mechanical (HVAC, piping, fire-fighting, industrial equipment) sectors. Identify technical gaps, potential bottlenecks, and site-specific challenges before project commencement. Evaluate the feasibility of the construction sequence provided by the client against internal resource capabilities.
2. Internal Cost Estimation & Budgeting Develop high-precision Internal Costing based on the provided Client Bill of Quantities (BOQ). Analyze market rates for labor, raw materials (Steel, Concrete, Pipes), and specialized mechanical equipment. Calculate "True Cost" vs. "Bid Price" to identify margin opportunities and cost-saving measures without compromising quality. Estimate the cost of consumables (Formwork, binding wire, tools) and logistical overheads.
3. Planning & Strategic Scheduling Develop detailed internal work schedules (Gantt Charts) using Primavera P6 or MS Project. Define the "Critical Path" for both civil and mechanical phases to ensure seamless integration (e.g., ensuring mechanical sleeve casting occurs correctly within structural timelines). Plan resource allocation (Manpower, Machinery, and Materials) to optimize productivity.
4. Internal Reporting & Executional Documentation Prepare Comprehensive Project Reports for management, highlighting risks, resource requirements, and financial exposure. Draft the Internal Executional Plan, which serves as the "Master Manual" for the site team, detailing how the project will be managed daily. Establish internal KPIs and milestones to track project health and financial variance.
Required Skills & Qualifications:Education: Bachelor’s Degree in Civil Engineering or Mechanical Engineering. A dual-degree or a Master’s in Construction Management is a significant advantage. Experience: 7–10 years of experience in the Saudi Arabian market, with at least 5 years specifically in a dual Civil/Mechanical estimation or planning role. Domain Expertise:Civil: Deep knowledge of structural works, villa construction, and infrastructure. Mechanical: Strong understanding of MEP systems, industrial piping, and mechanical plant installations.
Key Performance Indicators (KPIs):Estimation Accuracy: Variance between internal estimated cost and actual project expenditure. Report Clarity: Quality and depth of the internal executional plan and risk assessment. Integration Excellence: Success in scheduling overlapping civil and mechanical tasks to avoid rework.
