Preparation of bid documentation
Identification of risks, scope boundaries, reservations, and estimation assumptions

Have a good ability to read and interpret drawings, specifications, and tender documentation
Have basic understanding of the building process and contract economics
Are experienced in working systematically with numbers and costs

With us, you will have the opportunity to work with real tender documentation and follow the estimation process from incoming requests through to the completed bid.

For the right person, an internship period could also be the beginning of a longer collaboration.
