Mechanical Estimator

Job Description

We are constantly growing and are currently seeking Mechanical Estimator to join our highly qualified and knowledgeable Tendering Team at our Dubai office.

Would you like to be part of a dynamic EPC leader with global presence? We’d like to meet you.

Join our worldwide journey. Build on something that matters!

The Mechanical & Piping Estimator prepares accurate, competitive and well-qualified cost estimates for the mechanical equipment, piping, tankage and pipeline scopes of EPC / EPCC tenders for oil & gas, refinery, petrochemical and gas-processing projects across the Middle East and North Africa.

What you will need to do:

• Perform and verify quantity take-offs from equipment lists, P&IDs, line lists, piping isometrics, MTOs, GA drawings and equipment / piping layouts; where FEED is limited, develop quantities from benchmarks, ratios and historical data.
• Identify scope gaps, ambiguities and risks, and prepare technical queries and clarifications for the client.
• Develop detailed estimates for the entire Mechanical, Piping & Pipelines works.
• Build unit rates from first principles (labour, plant, materials, subcontract) using welding and erection productivity norms adjusted for Middle East conditions – summer working-hour restrictions, remote desert sites and logistics.
• Prepare manpower histograms, crane and heavy-lift requirements and durations, and provide inputs to planning, site indirects and fabrication-yard planning.

What you will need to have:

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering (mandatory).
• 5–7 years of estimating experience in EPC Oil & Gas / Refinery / Petrochemical projects, preferably with at least 3 years in the GCC.
• Strong ability to read and interpret:
  • Equipment lists and data sheets
  • P&IDs and line lists
  • Piping isometrics and MTOs
  • GA drawings, equipment and piping layouts
• Quantity take-off and BOQ preparation to client methods of measurement and industry norms (inch-dia, inch-metre, tonnage).
• First-principles rate build-up, productivity analysis and resource loading.
• Good knowledge of the Middle East market for pipe
• Quantity extraction from 3D models (Navisworks, E3D / S3D review).
• Knowledge of piping materials (CS, SS, duplex, GRE) and welding / PWHT requirements.
• Awareness of civil and E&I interfaces with the mechanical scope.

What is in it for you: 

Competitive salary and benefits are part of the offering, yet the real joy comes from being a member of smart and passionate teams, within an international leading EPC Group on a mission that matters. We create mega construction projects - literally around the globe - with meaningful impact on the local communities for the years to come. At Archirodon, you will find a proud, productive and human-centric culture, caring for and building on our people and their development!
