Job Description
Evaluating project drawings, material specifications, and commercial tenders across civil construction initiatives requires an engineer who combines technical estimation precision with clear analytical insight. Preparing accurate bill of quantities, assessing material costs, and analyzing subcontractor proposals demands steady attention to detail and thorough understanding of local market pricing. Inspirations GCC is recruiting on behalf of a construction enterprise to appoint an Estimation Engineer in Dubai. This position is ideal for a civil or structural engineering professional with two to three years of UAE estimation experience who excels at tender analysis, quantity take-offs, and cost optimization.
The primary responsibilities of this position center on preparing precise cost estimates, analyzing tender documentation, and compiling commercial proposals for building and infrastructure projects. Daily activities involve conducting quantity take-offs from structural and architectural drawings, sourcing supplier quotations, and evaluating subcontractor bids against project specifications. The Estimation Engineer will assemble detailed Bill of Quantities (BOQ), calculate direct and indirect construction costs, prepare tender submittals, and collaborate with procurement and project engineering teams to establish cost baselines. Additionally, the role requires tracking market prices for raw materials, supporting pre-bid clarification meetings, and compiling financial analysis reports for management review.
Candidates applying for this position must demonstrate between two and three years of direct experience as an Estimation Engineer within the United Arab Emirates construction sector. A Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering, Quantity Surveying, or a related technical discipline is required. Applicants must possess strong analytical capabilities, working knowledge of local building codes and material rates, and high proficiency in estimation software and Microsoft Excel. Solid written and verbal communication skills are necessary to coordinate effectively with suppliers, subcontractors, and project leadership.
The position offers a monthly salary package ranging between AED 3,500 and AED 4,000, alongside standard statutory benefits provided under UAE labor law regulations.
