About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Define and track KPI’s, program scope, milestones, timelines, and success metrics.
Provide clear status reporting to senior leadership and stakeholders.
Create executive-level dashboards and readouts of at risk projects.
Act as the primary interface between engineering and construction to ensure proper handoffs are made between the two departments.
Cost Estimation: Develop detailed cost estimates for design services (e.g., field surveys, FLD, HLD, LLD, MDU Design, permitting, etc.) based on provided rate cards or RFPs.
RFP Review & Risk Assessment: Thoroughly analyze incoming RFPs, identify design-specific risks (scope gaps, ambiguous requirements, permitting complexities, timeline constraints), and provide clear risk summaries with mitigation recommendations to support accurate, competitive quoting.
Design Liaison: Collaborate with engineers to interpret technical requirements (network diagrams, site configurations, route planning) and translate them into cost-effective design solutions.
Documentation: Prepare accurate quote documents, track design-related costs, and document technical specifications for bids and proposals.
Project Coordination: Manage the design pre-sales pipeline, coordinate with internal teams (engineering, business development) and external vendors for design inputs.
Software Proficiency: Utilize GIS tools (IQGeo) and estimating software for evaluation, route mapping, and rate card-based cost analysis.
Technical Analysis: Assess existing infrastructure and proposed designs for feasibility, compliance, and potential issues, focusing on design efficiency, profitability, and rate card applicability.
