  • Prepare detailed cost breakdowns, bid proposals, and cost reports for submission to clients, stakeholders, and internal decision-makers.
  • Update and maintain a cost tracking system to monitor project expenditures, track budget deviations, and identify cost-saving opportunities.
  • Participate in value engineering exercises, risk assessments, and cost-saving initiatives to optimize project costs without compromising quality or safety standards.
  • Keep abreast of industry trends, market conditions, and pricing fluctuations to ensure cost estimates are current, accurate, and competitive.

Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree in civil engineering, Construction Management, Quantity Surveying, or related field.
  • Proven experience as an estimator, cost estimator, or quantity surveyor in tunnel construction or infrastructure projects.
  • Proficiency in cost estimating software, construction cost databases, and MS Excel for detailed analysis and reporting.
  • Strong knowledge of construction methods, materials, and labor costs specific to tunneling and underground construction.
  • Excellent analytical skills, attention to detail, and ability to work under pressure to meet tight deadlines.
  • Effective communication skills and the ability to collaborate with multidisciplinary teams and external stakeholders.
