Job Type: Full-time

We are looking for an experienced Estimation Engineer with strong expertise in pressure vessel components, heavy fabrication, steel materials, and cost estimation. The role will be responsible for preparing accurate technical-commercial estimates and quotations for components such as dished ends, rolled shells, cones, expansion bellows, and explosion-bonded clad plates.

The ideal candidate will have a strong understanding of steel materials and forming processes, excellent drawing interpretation skills, and the commercial judgement required to optimise material utilisation and develop competitive quotations.

Requirements

Key Responsibilities

• Prepare accurate cost estimates, quotations, and technical-commercial offers for pressure vessel and heavy fabrication components.
• Estimate components including dished ends, rolled shells, cones, expansion bellows, and explosion-bonded clad plates.
• Study customer enquiries, drawings, datasheets, specifications, and technical requirements to establish project scope.
• Determine appropriate materials, forming requirements, manufacturing processes, and technical assumptions.
• Calculate raw material requirements, plate sizes, weights, nesting, and material utilisation to optimise project costs.
• Evaluate steel material requirements across carbon steel, stainless steel, alloy steel, clad plates, and related grades.
• Coordinate with steel mills and material traders to understand plate availability, grades, thickness ranges, rolling capabilities, heat treatment requirements, and delivery lead times.
• Coordinate with Sales, Production, QA, and Purchase teams to validate manufacturability, material availability, costing assumptions, and project timelines.
• Prepare and review technical-commercial proposals, including pricing, terms, exclusions, deviations, and delivery conditions.
• Maintain accurate estimation and enquiry registers and track opportunities through the quotation process.
• Follow up on enquiries and support the conversion of qualified opportunities into firm orders.
• Read, interpret, develop, and modify AutoCAD drawings and layouts as required for estimation and technical offer preparation.
• Review pressure vessel component drawings and identify technical requirements, material specifications, and manufacturing considerations.
• Support internal teams with estimation-related technical and commercial clarifications.
• Maintain accurate estimation documentation and ensure quotations are prepared within required timelines.

What Makes You a Great Fit

• 5+ years of relevant experience in estimation, costing, pressure vessels, heavy fabrication, forming, static equipment, or a related engineering environment.
• BE/B.Tech or Diploma in Mechanical Engineering is preferred.
• Hands-on experience estimating pressure vessel components, dished ends, clad plates, or heavy forming components.
• Strong knowledge of steel materials, including carbon steel, stainless steel, clad, and alloy grades.
• Familiarity with material specifications such as SA 516, SA 240, SA 264, and similar standards.
• Good understanding of steel mill capabilities, including rolling ranges, plate sizes, grades, thickness limitations, heat treatment, and delivery schedules.
• Strong ability to interpret pressure vessel drawings, datasheets, technical specifications, and applicable engineering requirements.
• Proficiency in AutoCAD for reading, developing, and modifying engineering drawings and layouts.
• Strong commercial understanding of costing, weight calculations, material optimisation, and quotation preparation.
• Ability to assess manufacturing feasibility and translate technical requirements into accurate cost estimates.
• Strong coordination and follow-up skills when working with customers, suppliers, and internal departments.
• Confident written and verbal communication skills with the ability to interact professionally with colleagues and clients.
• Proactive, self-driven, thorough, and detail-oriented approach to estimation and enquiry management.
• Ability to understand changing project requirements, assess circumstances, and take appropriate independent decisions.
• Strong product and process knowledge with a practical understanding of fabrication and forming operations.
• Willingness to remain accessible and responsive when urgent customer or internal requirements arise.
