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.

4- Qualifications & Certifications
- Bachelor’s Degree in Electrical or Mechanical Enginee
