Planning, Assessment & Cost Estimation (Civil & Mechanical)

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.
