As an MEP Estimating Engineer at vConstruct, a Pune based international construction technology company, your primary responsibility will be to review design information including drawings, specifications, and BIM to quantify scopes related to HVAC, Plumbing, Electrical, Process Equipment, and Piping & Instrumentation for cost estimation, bid management, and production tracking purposes. You should have a strong understanding and experience in building construction around MEP, particularly in projects such as hospitals, commercial office buildings, hospitality, data centers, biopharmaceutical plants, life sciences, manufacturing, and higher education buildings. The role will be within our Costing cluster as a Project Engineer. Your key responsibilities will include developing high-quality and accurate quantity estimates following CSI Uniformat and Masterformat coding using drawings, specifications, and models. You will also be required to develop quantity takeoffs for various trade packages, study project documents for discrepancies, leverage 3D models for quantification processes, develop 3D models from 2D drawings, prepare cost estimates, identify design changes, collaborate with estimators onsite, communicate effectively with project teams overseas, understand new scopes of work, and maintain relationships with onsite teams, customers, and the vConstruct team. To be successful in this role, you should ideally hold a Bachelor's or Master's degree in mechanical or electrical engineering with a specialization in Quantity Surveying. Familiarity with US, Europe, and Indian construction documents and terminologies is preferred. A minimum of 2 years of working experience in building construction with a focus on MEP scopes is required, along with quantification experience. Knowledge of quantification software like Revit, Assemble, CostX, OST, Planswift, and estimating tools like Microsoft Excel is desired. Additionally, you should possess a strong work ethic, a can-do attitude, the ability to learn independently, effective communication skills, and the ability to identify and resolve issues.
