Role Overview
- Great tenders aren’t built on guesswork. They’re built on details that add up.

- Provide Estimators with accurate and organized estimating information.
- Support tender preparation across civil construction scopes, including earthworks, concrete, drainage, roads, utilities, and infrastructure.
