Oxford Oxfordshire, United Kingdom Orion Electrotech Full time

We are working with a market-leading Main contractor based in Oxfordshire who is looking for their next key hire. Would you be interested in joining a highly established business that provides an experienced friendly working environment, highlight projects and clear progression plans?

Cost Estimation: Prepare detailed cost estimates for construction projects based on plans, specifications, and other relevant documents. This involves analysing the quantity and cost of materials, labour, equipment, and overhead expenses required for the project.

This involves identifying and calculating the quantities of various items such as concrete, steel, lumber, and labour hours.

Vendor and Subcontractor Pricing: Solicit bids and quotations from vendors, subcontractors, and suppliers for materials, equipment, and services required for the project. Evaluate and compare proposals to ensure competitive pricing and quality.

Cost Database Management: Maintain and update a database of costs for materials, labour rates, equipment rentals, and other construction-related expenses. This database serves as a reference for future estimates and helps ensure accuracy and consistency.

Value Engineering: Collaborate with project teams to identify opportunities for cost savings and value optimization without compromising quality or functionality. Risk Assessment: Identify and assess potential risks and uncertainties that may impact project costs, such as market fluctuations, regulatory changes, or unforeseen site conditions. Develop strategies to mitigate risks and incorporate contingencies into cost estimates.

Prepare comprehensive bid documents, including cost breakdowns, pricing schedules, and technical specifications, for submission to clients or project owners. Cost Analysis and Reporting: Analyse cost data and variance reports to track project expenditures, compare actual costs to budgeted estimates, and identify areas of cost overruns or savings. Prepare regular reports and updates for project stakeholders.

Contract Negotiation: Participate in contract negotiations with clients, subcontractors, and suppliers to finalize pricing, terms, and conditions. Maintain accurate and organized records of cost estimates, bid documents, contracts, correspondence, and other project-related documentation. This documentation serves as a reference for project management, auditing, and future projects.

Continuous Improvement: Stay abreast of industry trends, best practices, and technological advancements in estimating software and tools. Seek opportunities for professional development and skill enhancement to improve accuracy and efficiency in cost estimation processes.

Collaboration and Communication: Work closely with project managers, architects, engineers, and other stakeholders to understand project requirements, address concerns, and ensure alignment between cost estimates and project objectives.

These responsibilities may vary depending on the specific requirements of the construction project.
