Our promise is simple: Blueprint to Benchmark for Data Centers. Role Overview We are looking for a senior Estimation Engineer and Pricing Specialist to own technical estimation and commercial pricing for data centre engagements across civil, MEPF and IT infrastructure scopes. This role sits within the CEO Sales System and works closely with the sales, delivery and leadership teams to convert opportunity requirements into accurate quantities, defensible costs and winning, margin-protected prices.
