  • Conduct detailed risk and contingency analysis, and advise on cost impacts and mitigation strategies.
  • Interface with clients, design teams, and project stakeholders to define scope, assumptions, and deliverables.
  • Review design documentation and identify cost drivers, value engineering opportunities, and potential savings.
  • Contribute to tender and bid submissions, providing strategic input on pricing and commercial positioning.
  • Support continuous improvement initiatives and the standardization of estimating processes across regions.
  • Mentor and train junior estimators and cost engineers, promoting knowledge sharing and professional growth.
