Senior civil estimating and cost control engineer specializing in project estimation and cost forecasting.
What I'm looking for
I am a civil engineer with roughly twenty years' experience specializing in cost estimation, quantity surveying and project cost control across large refinery, petrochemical and industrial projects. I consistently deliver accurate capital cost estimates, establish estimate methodology and basis reports, and manage forecasting (FTC/FAC), change order verification and progress payment processes to support informed decision-making.
My background includes senior estimating and cost-control roles on international projects for major contractors and owners, with proven accuracy ranges reported for numerous projects. I work closely with discipline engineers, procurement and production teams to validate scope, update material takeoffs, and produce clear cost reporting that maintains quality and supports project efficiency.
