• Solicit, evaluate, and negotiate subcontractor and supplier quotations; build procurement-backed pricing
• Develop construction methodology, execution programs, and resource/equipment planning as part of the technical offer
• Review contract conditions (FIDIC and bespoke), flag commercial and contractual risks, and prepare qualifications and deviations
• Coordinate with operations, plant/equipment, procurement, and finance to validate cost assumptions against actual site performance data
• Manage bid bonds, guarantees, insurances, and tender submission logistics
• Build and maintain a rates database from executed projects
• Handle JV/consortium bid structures and partner coordination where applicable
