Jr. Estimation & Design Engineer

The Junior Estimation & Design Engineer plays a key role in integrating estimation, planning, and execution control to ensure structured and predictable project delivery.

This role is responsible for preparing detailed quantity and material take-offs, developing accurate cost estimates, and translating estimation assumptions into executable project schedules.

Key Responsibilities

• Prepare detailed quantity take-offs and material take-offs for electrical and IT construction projects.
• Develop accurate cost estimates based on validated drawings, BOQs, and project scope.
• Review and validate scope documents to ensure completeness and estimation accuracy.
• Develop a Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) aligned with the estimate and translate it into baseline and rolling schedules.
• Convert manpower loading and productivity assumptions into structured, executable task plans.
• Monitor daily site progress and compare actual productivity against estimated benchmarks.
• Forecast schedule and cost impacts based on production trends and manpower utilization.
• Identify deviations in scope, sequencing, or productivity, and recommend corrective actions.
• Support Project Managers in evaluating variations, delays, and resource adjustments.
• Coordinate closely with site teams to ensure crew-task alignment and execution readiness.
• Assist in variation analysis, change order management, and performance optimization.
• Provide structured reporting and clear visibility on the project schedule and performance status.
• This role might require working on the Eastern Standard Time (EST) shift to meet operational and business needs; the Jr. E&D engineer may be required to rotate between local office hours and EST hours. Such rotation will be planned and communicated by the company.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's Degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics, Mechatronics Engineering, or related fields.
• Up to 1 year of relevant experience, including:
• Site experience in electrical, IT, or construction projects.
• Exposure to estimation and project coordination activities.
• Strong understanding of quantity take-offs, labor productivity, and estimation principles.
• Working knowledge of WBS structuring, scheduling techniques, and milestone control.
• Proficiency in MS Office and project management/scheduling tools.

Core Competencies

• Strong analytical and data-driven mindset
• Planning, scheduling, and forecasting capability
• Effective coordination and communication skills
• High level of ownership and accountability
• Ability to multitask and adapt in a dynamic environment
• Structured reporting and performance tracking skills
