• Develop procedures for the preparation of estimates for brown field and green field projects.
• Develop and prepare estimate plan; presentation of plan to all stake holders
• Receive the engineering estimate from the lead/project engineer and incorporate into the overall estimate for all phases of the work.
• Prepare rationale statements to support the estimate identifying areas of weakness and or areas of risk.
• Carry out validation and verification of the estimates using high level norms and by comparing with previous estimates, outcome costs and vendor prices and develop benchmark database
• Customize the estimate reports based on customer requirements
• The estimates are to include all phases of execution of the work from front end engineering through to closeout. Develop Cost estimates during all phases
• During the pre-engineering phase the estimator will compare estimates of alternative solutions and provide input to selection of the adopted option
• Responsible for the training and staffing of estimating department.
• Estimate project quantities and costs in the preparation of projects on a timely and cost effective basis.
• Prepare comprehensive estimate basis
• Monitor current competitive prices, new techniques and cost trends.
• Perform Monte carlo risk type analysis of cost estimates to determine contingency and accuracy level
• Fully aware of the international estimate standards AACE, ACCE (Ex K base) etc.
