Along with regular project assignments, I also worked in proposals department as Estimation Engineer. As part of proposal team, I estimated the direct and indirect costs of the projects at bidding stage. I coordinated with engineering and construction departments for estimation of design & construction cost. For estimating procurement cost I forwarded RFQs (request for quotation) to competitive vendors and estimated the costs based on technically & commercially sound vendors. I estimated the cost of project management team (direct & indirect) by developing deployment plans, and various other log sheets for estimating other expenses such as local & foreign travelling, site expenses etc. I also coordinated with client for pre-bid and post-bid inquiries. I worked on following proposals in particular.
