• Work closely with the estimating team to prepare accurate tender estimates and support the development of bid proposals and submission documents for civil construction projects
• Build and maintain positive relationships with clients, subcontractors and suppliers
• Coordinate with suppliers and subcontractors to request quotes and gather pricing for materials, labour and services
• Assist with early‑stage procurement activities on new projects, including managing RFQs in line with tender programs

• Maintain accurate records of correspondence, calculations, and methodologies throughout each tender process

The successful applicant will have the following skills and experience:

• Bachelor of Engineering (Civil)
• Experience delivering civil infrastructure construction projects
• Strong communication skills to collaborate effectively with colleagues and external stakeholders
• Effective time‑management and multitasking skills, with the ability to meet tight deadlines and handle feedback professionally
