Civil Engineering Calculator

Function

• As a Civil Engineering Estimator, you will translate plans, technical dossiers and quantities into a reliable cost estimate and a feasible project approach.
• You analyse tender and project information, identify areas for attention and contribute ideas on optimisations that enhance feasibility and competitiveness.
• Based on your calculations, you will draw up an accurate and well-founded quotation, ensuring that clients receive a clear proposal and that projects get off to a financially sound start.
• You request quotes from suppliers and subcontractors, compare the information received and carefully incorporate the results into the cost estimate.
• Consulting with project leaders and technical colleagues helps you to test assumptions, identify risks in good time and have a say in the preparation of dossiers.
• As a cost estimator, you will gradually build up expertise in materials, construction methods, quantities and pricing structures within the civil engineering sector.
• You will be working in a technical construction environment where meticulous preparation has a direct impact on the quality, feasibility and profitability of projects.

Profile

• A bachelor’s or master’s degree in civil engineering, or equivalent technical knowledge gained through experience, provides a good foundation for this vacancy.
• Technical insight and an interest in figures will help you to understand plans, estimate quantities accurately and identify the links between implementation and cost.
• Some initial experience with cost estimation, preparing quotations or project support would be an advantage, but is not essential; you will be given the opportunity to learn the role as you go along.
• Accuracy and analytical skills are important because even small discrepancies in quantities, prices or assumptions can affect the entire proposal.
• You communicate clearly and enjoy working with a range of technical colleagues. This enables you to critically assess information, ask questions and arrive at a consensus on calculations.
