Job Description

Responsibilities

Key Responsibilities 1. Estimation & Cost Planning
  • Prepare detailed cost estimates for Data Centre construction projects with focus on MEP packages.
  • Review drawings, technical specifications, BOQs, tender documents, and design inputs for estimation.
  • Develop item-wise and package-wise estimates for Electrical / Mechanical / HVAC / Fire Fighting / Plumbing / ELV / BMS systems.
  • Conduct quantity take-offs from drawings and validate quantities for tendering and budgeting.
  • Prepare concept estimates, detailed estimates, and pre-bid cost plans based on project stage.
  • Analyze scope gaps, exclusions, assumptions, and risks in the tender/estimation phase.
2. Tendering & Bid Support
  • Support preparation of techno-commercial proposals for new projects.
  • Coordinate with internal stakeholders for RFQ floating, vendor queries, cost inputs, and bid clarifications.
  • Compare vendor/subcontractor quotations and prepare comparative statements.
  • Assist in finalization of cost benchmarks, pricing strategy, and bid submissions.
  • Identify commercial risks and provide inputs during tender review meetings.
3. Technical Review
  • Review design inputs related to Electrical systems (HT/LT, DG, UPS, transformers, bus ducts, cable trays, lighting, earthing) and Mechanical systems (HVAC, chillers, CRAH/CRAC, piping, ventilation, firefighting, plumbing).

  • Liaise with OEMs, vendors, subcontractors, and suppliers for budgetary quotes and technical-commercial inputs.
  • Maintain updated database of rates, cost benchmarks, approved vendors, and historical project costs.
  • Track market trends in key materials/equipment such as UPS, DG, transformers, switchgear, chillers, pipes, ducts, fire systems, ELV and BMS components.
5. Value Engineering & Cost Optimization
  • Identify opportunities for cost optimization and value engineering without compromising project quality, reliability, or compliance.
  • Suggest alternate materials, systems, and execution methodologies where feasible.
  • Support leadership in preparation of budget vs estimate analysis and savings opportunities.
6. Cross-Functional Coordination
  • Coordinate with Projects, Design, Procurement, Contracts, Finance, and Commercial teams during estimation and bid stages.
  • Provide estimation support for change orders, variation claims, and budget revisions.
  • Participate in internal reviews for project feasibility and capex planning.
