Tendering and Civil Engineer

Tendering Estimation (Pre-Construction)

• Tender Document Analysis:
• Thoroughly review and understand complex tender documents, specifications, drawings, and Bills of Quantities (BOQ) for civil engineering projects (e.g., roads, bridges, buildings, water infrastructure).
• Analyze contractual terms and conditions to identify potential risks, ambiguities, and opportunities within the bid.
• Cost Estimation Pricing:
• Prepare detailed and accurate cost estimates for all project components, including materials, labor, equipment, subcontractors, overheads, and profit margins.
• Obtain competitive quotations from suppliers and subcontractors, ensuring up-to-date market pricing.
• Develop cash flow projections and financial models to support bid submissions.
• Bid Preparation Submission:
• Formulate comprehensive and competitive tender proposals, ensuring strict compliance with all tender requirements and submission deadlines.
• Prepare technical submissions, detailed methodologies, work schedules, and project execution plans as part of the bid.
• Coordinate actively with internal departments (e.g., procurement, legal, planning) and external stakeholders during the entire tender preparation process.
• Participate in pre-bid meetings and conduct site visits to gain a clear understanding of project scope and site-specific conditions.
• Risk Assessment Mitigation:
• Identify and assess commercial, technical, and contractual risks associated with each tender.
• Propose robust strategies for risk mitigation and contingency planning within the bid proposal.
• Post-Tender Activities:
• Participate in post-tender negotiations and provide necessary clarifications.
• Analyze reasons for successful and unsuccessful bids to refine future tendering strategies.
  

II. Civil Engineering (Project Execution Management Support)

• Design Review Optimization:
• Review and provide expert input on civil engineering designs, ensuring strict adherence to relevant codes, standards, and best practices.
• Propose value engineering solutions to optimize costs and improve efficiency without compromising quality or safety.
• Technical Support:
• Provide critical technical expertise and support to project teams during the execution phase, particularly regarding quantities, specifications, and variations.
• Assist in resolving technical queries and on-site challenges effectively.
• Quantity Surveying Billing Support:
• Assist with accurate quantity surveying, measurement, and verification of work completed on site.
• Support the preparation and verification of client bills and subcontractor payments.
• Site Coordination Supervision (as needed):
• Occasionally visit project sites to monitor construction progress, understand challenges, and validate quantities for tendering purposes.
• Liaise with site teams, clients, and consultants as required.
• Documentation Reporting:
• Maintain accurate records of all tender submissions, correspondence, and project-related documentation.
• Prepare regular reports on tendering activities, success rates, and relevant market trends.
