A Quotation Preparation
Prepare accurate, detailed quotations for AMC, ad-hoc/reactive jobs, In-Unit Works, MEP contracting, and Fit-Out works based on scope, drawings, material requirements, and inspection reports
Visit sites (independently or with the Projects Engineer, Area Manager, or FM Supervisor) to verify scope, take measurements, and assess conditions before pricing, including potential-client site visits for business development
Translate scope, drawings, BOQs, and inspection reports into priced offers within agreed turnaround times, applying UVC's pricing strategy and margin policy
Issue revised quotations promptly in response to scope changes, client feedback, or value-engineering adjustments
B. Tender & Online Portal Management
Check government and private tender/enquiry portals daily and download relevant tender documents in full
Register, maintain, and renew UVC's profiles and pre-qualification documents on relevant portals
Review tender documents (technical specs, BOQs, conditions, exclusions) and flag key requirements (bonds, insurance, performance security, advance payment guarantee, retention) early to the Operations Manager
Submit quotations before expiry via the agreed channel and retain confirmation of receipt on file
Attend pre-bid and clarification meetings, capturing all clarifications in writing
C. Cost Build-Up & Pricing
Build costs from first principles — material, labour, plant/tools/equipment, transport, supervision, overheads, contingency, and margin — using the rate library and current supplier pricing
Maintain and regularly update a master rate library (materials, labour productivity, sub-contractor rates)
Perform value engineering and propose technical alternatives that improve competitiveness without compromising compliance
D. Coordination & Handover
Coordinate with the Projects Engineer and FM Coordinator on Mobile Team works (In-Unit, Fit-Out, MEP), and with FM Area Managers/Supervisors on FM AMC and ad-hoc scope
Coordinate with the Procurement Specialist for current material pricing, supplier lead times, and alternate-source pricing
Coordinate with the Operations Manager on pricing strategy, mark-up approvals, and final review of quotations above policy thresholds
Hand over awarded jobs with a complete pack: signed quotation, scope, BOQ, agreed deviations, payment terms, and project contacts
E. Documentation, Records & Reporting
Maintain UVC's estimation registers (Enquiries, Ad-hoc, Threshold, Monthly Report Logbook, Documents Tracker) with full enquiry-to-outcome tracking
Maintain a complete file per quotation: enquiry, scope/drawings, BOQ build-up, supplier quotes, comparison sheet, submitted quotation, correspondence, and award/loss confirmation
Generate periodic reports: weekly enquiry/tender status, monthly pipeline, win-loss analysis, conversion rate by client/category
Enforce document control and digital filing per UVC's ISO 9001 requirements
F. Compliance, Governance & Continuous Improvement
Ensure quotations are issued only after required internal approvals per the authority matrix
Track and report estimation KPIs (win rate, turnaround time, accuracy)
Maintain transparency, ethical practice, and full confidentiality of client/supplier pricing information
Desired Candidate Profile
Strong cost estimation / quantity surveying background, ideally in MEP, fit-out, or facilities maintenance contracting
Proficiency in Excel and estimation/BOQ tools; comfort building and maintaining a rate library
Experience with tender/portal management and understanding of tender documentation (bonds, guarantees, retention)
Strong communication skills for client, consultant, and cross-functional coordination
High attention to detail and document control discipline; ISO 9001 records awareness a plus
Ability to manage multiple concurrent quotations under deadline pressure
