Job Description

The Civil Estimator prepares accurate, competitive and well-qualified cost estimates for the civil, structural and building scopes of EPC / EPCC tenders for oil & gas, refinery, petrochemical and gas-processing projects across the Middle East and North Africa.

• Perform and verify quantity take-offs from plot plans, civil / structural GA drawings, foundation layouts, steel structure and architectural drawings; where FEED is limited, develop quantities from benchmarks, ratios and historical data.
• Identify scope gaps, ambiguities and risks, and prepare technical queries and clarifications for the client.
• Develop detailed estimates for the entire scope of the Civil & Structural works.
• Build unit rates from first principles (labour, plant, materials, subcontract) using productivity norms adjusted for Middle East conditions – summer working-hour restrictions, remote desert sites and logistics.
• Prepare manpower histograms, construction equipment requirements and durations, and provide inputs to planning, site indirects and temporary works.

• Tight tender timelines, often with several bids running in parallel.
• Pricing lump-sum work with limited FEED or preliminary engineering, with the risk of quantity growth.
• Volatile commodity prices (steel, rebar, cement) and wide regional variation in rates across the GCC and North Africa.
• Geotechnical uncertainty, remote site logistics and heat-related productivity loss
• Different client standards, methods of measurement and commercial conditions from country to country.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering (mandatory).
• 5–7 years of estimating experience in EPC Oil & Gas / Refinery / Petrochemical projects, preferably with at least 3 years in the GCC.
• Hands-on pricing of the civil scope of NOC tenders (e.g. ADNOC, Saudi Aramco, Qatar Energy, PDO, KOC).
• High attention to detail and numerical accuracy.
• Able to work to tight deadlines and manage several bids at once.
• Analytical, with sound commercial and risk judgement.
• Communicates assumptions and qualifications clearly to engineering, management and clients.
• Team player who coordinates well across disciplines; handles pricing data with integrity and confidentiality
