1- Purpose Of The Role (Job Summary)

Lead mechanical, electrical, and ELV estimation for data center EPC bids. MEP is 60–70% of contract value, so this role drives both bid competitiveness and margin, including OEM pricing strategy for long-lead plant.

2- Key Responsibilities And Accountabilities

Own the complete MEP estimate per tender: equipment, installation, subcontracts, commissioning support, and spares.
Direct the discipline estimators to one estimate basis, boundary matrix, and assumptions log.
Drive OEM budget pricing for long-lead equipment — generators, UPS, switchgear, transformers, chillers, CRAH/CRAC/fan-walls, busway — including delivery and escalation terms.
Read tender documents for DC-specific drivers: redundancy topology (N+1/2N), tier requirements,



liquid cooling, EPMS/BMS scope, and phased fit-out.
Adjudicate MEP subcontractor quotes and normalize supply, installation, and commissioning splits.
Maintain MEP benchmarks: cost/MW by topology and geography, cost per kW by system, and installation norms.
Prepare MEP risk registers, exclusions, and contingency recommendations.
Lead MEP value engineering with design; quantify alternates for topology, plant selection, and phasing.
Hand as-sold estimates to delivery, then reconcile against actuals and update norms.

3- Key Performance Indicators

As-sold vs final MEP cost variance within ±5%.
At least 2 compliant OEM quotes per critical equipment class.
100% on-time MEP estimate delivery per bid plan.
Benchmark database refreshed quarterly.
Value-engineering savings identified and accepted per bid.
