You will be responsible for the Structural Works package (reinforced concrete structures, special foundations, masonry works, partitions, screeds, and demolition works) as part of design-build projects and commercial tender submissions.

Key Responsibilities

As part of your role, you will:

• Develop the estimating strategy, quantity take-off methodology, and costing approach for complex projects, including projects delivered through partnerships or joint ventures.
• Contribute to the development of the structural works design alongside architects, structural engineers, and consultants, while defining the key construction methodologies.
• Propose technical, environmental, and cost optimization solutions, ensuring compliance with applicable standards and regulations, and contribute to the carbon footprint assessment of your package.

• Define site organization, construction methodologies, execution sequences, site logistics plans, and develop the structural works schedule and overall building envelope planning.
• Prepare and cost the project site organization chart (project management and supervision teams) as well as other project overhead and support costs.
• Produce technical documentation, risk and opportunity analyses, study reports, and tender submission materials, while ensuring a smooth handover to the operations teams.
• Manage multiple projects simultaneously and prioritize deliverables according to commercial deadlines.
• Share knowledge and experience with technical teams worldwide and mentor less experienced colleagues.
• Maintain and enrich the estimating database and lessons-learned repository (suppliers, subcontractors, construction sites, procurement data) to improve the accuracy and reliability of future estimates.
• Integrate safety, quality, and HSE requirements from the earliest design and estimation stages.
• Collaborate with local partners and remote teams, with occasional international travel as required.

What About You?

• You hold an Engineering degree or an equivalent university qualification and have at least 10 years of experience in estimating, preconstruction, or site operations related to structural works packages.
• You are rigorous, curious, reliable, proactive, and possess strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
• You thrive in a collaborative environment and see teamwork as a key factor in successfully delivering complex projects. You are eager to bring your creativity and expertise to major international developments.
