Estimator - Rail & Civils

• Check Tender Information for completeness and raise potential areas of concern – can this lack of information be useful to us at contract stage? It may be better to leave the lack of information un-clarified.
• Produce quantity take-offs from tender information/drawings using either traditional methods or Causeway/similar software.
• Regularly back-up/save work, in a secure manner, to ensure no data loss exceeds a couple of hours work.
• Preparation, using agreed company format, of Sub-contract & Material enquiry documentation. Forward documentation to Administration Department for formal enquiry issue. Advise on any companies/suppliers who should or should not receive the enquiry.
• Analysis of Sub-Contracts, supplier and merchant quotations – including “normalisation”
• Analysis of benchmark data from historic projects/norms against the first principles tender build ups where possible.
• Discuss and agree resourcing and works outputs with Planner, Bid Manager and delivery team working on the tender.
• On occasions support the bid team by producing methodologies for works delivery to go with tender submissions.
