Job Title: Estimator – Skids, Piping & Spools
Experience: ~6 years

Industry: Heavy Engineering / Industrial Equipment Manufacturing

Job Purpose

The Estimator – Skids, Piping & Spools will be responsible for preparing accurate material take-offs, weight calculations, and comprehensive cost evaluations for modular systems. This role focuses on executing exact pre-bid costing of skids, complex process piping, spools, and structural assemblies for the Oil & Gas, Petrochemical, and Fertiliser sectors.

Key Responsibilities

Costing & Material Take-Offs
Analyze structural blueprints, isometric drawings, piping and instrumentation diagrams (P&IDs;), and General Arrangement (GA) drawings to prepare highly accurate Material Take-Offs (MTOs).
Perform exact weight calculations for piping networks, structural frames, plates, spools, and individual machined parts.
Calculate total fabrication and assembly costs by accounting for raw materials, fittings, structural steel, weld consumables, machining hours, and non-destructive testing (NDT) requirements.





Vendor Coordination & Bid Support
