Estimate the cost of consumables (Formwork, binding wire, tools) and logistical overheads.<br>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.<br>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.<br>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.<br>Key Performance Indicators (KPIs):Estimation Accuracy: Variance between internal estimated cost and actual project expenditure.
