Advanced Microsoft Excel skills.
Experience reviewing engineering drawings and performing detailed quantity take-offs.
Understanding of labor productivity, equipment costing, material pricing, and construction methodologies.
Familiarity with contract documents, specifications, procurement processes, and construction contracts.

What Makes You Successful

Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities.
Excellent organizational skills and attention to detail.
Effective written and verbal communication skills.
Ability to manage multiple tenders and competing priorities.
Strong business and commercial awareness.
Self-motivated with a proactive and results-oriented approach.
Strong collaboration and relationship-building abilities.
Sound judgment and decision-making skills.
