- Analyse and normalise subcontractor quotations.
- Identify exclusions, qualifications and scope differences.

The Person

We are looking for someone who can do considerably more than simply perform quantity take-offs.

You should be able to take a set of drawings and specifications, understand the construction methodology, develop the quantities, obtain and analyse subcontractor pricing and produce a complete estimate with limited supervision.

In particular, we want someone who is:

- Commercially minded
- Analytical and methodical

Why Join Us?

This is an opportunity to develop specialist expertise in one of the fastest-growing areas of international construction.

You will work on international data centre projects, gaining exposure to different construction markets, clients, contractors, consultants and procurement models.

The successful candidate will have the opportunity to develop from Senior Estimator into a Lead Estimator / Pre-Construction Manager role as the business grows.

Location & Working Environment

The position is based in Noida, India.

You will work as part of an international pre-construction team, supporting projects outside India and collaborating with clients, contractors, consultants, suppliers and subcontractors internationally.
