Junior Estimator, Electrical

Position Overview

You run the electrical lines of every tender through our platform, check its output, obtain the supplier prices we need and keep our price data complete. You learn the trade from your Lead and grow into the role.

About DOUMMAR MEP Contractors

DOUMMAR MEP Contractors is a family-owned mechanical, electrical and plumbing (MEP) contractor with more than 30 years of experience and projects delivered in around 30 countries across Europe, Africa and the Middle East. We work as the MEP partner of major international general contractors and developers. In Cyprus we have an established company with its own management, site and support teams and projects under way.

We are setting up a new Estimation & Tendering Department in a new office in Larnaca: a team of five (a Head, two Lead Estimators and two Junior Estimators) whose mission is every tender priced from our own data, through our AI platform, signed off at the gate, and submitted on time. The department owns the cost of every tender; commercial decisions on margin and final price rest with the Chief Executive Officer. Our Innovation department has built an in-house, AI-based estimating platform that reads tender documents, structures bills of quantities, matches items to our library of engineered assemblies and builds a transparent price for every line. The team uses it every day and helps make it better.

Why Join Us

• Build something from the start. You shape the department, its methods and its culture, instead of fitting into an existing one.
• A short line to the decisions. The Head reports directly to the Chief Executive Officer. Every member sees their work go into real offers.
• Technology few competitors have. An AI-based estimating platform that takes the clerical work away, so you spend your time on engineering judgement.
• Room to grow. The department will become the group's estimation centre and price international tenders. Those who build it lead it.
• A stable, established company. More than 30 years in MEP contracting, a company already operating in Cyprus with projects under way, and a new office in Larnaca.
• People and values. A family company that is demanding and direct, and loyal to the people who commit to it.

Key Responsibilities

• Run the bill of quantities through our platform; check the items it flags as uncertain.
• Measure the quantities of your trade on drawings, with the platform's support, and report anything unclear to your Lead.
• Check and send the RFQ packages the platform drafts, within 48 hours of the RFQ list being ready; chase replies; compare quotes like for like.
• Correct lines after the Lead's review.
• Assemble the submission pack when it is your turn.
• Prepare the electrical line review for your Lead.

Price Data

You keep our price data complete. Every quote, price list and RFQ reply is filed in the price history with date, supplier, conditions and validity, the same day it arrives.

Working with AI

You are the platform's daily user. You learn its features fast, report what does not work, and suggest improvements to the Innovation department. Every price goes through our platform and every manual adjustment is recorded with its reason, so that our numbers are traceable.

We price through our platform because it makes every number traceable and our team faster. As a member of the team, you will price through our platform and AI tools rather than in separate spreadsheets; record every manual adjustment with its reason; review AI output critically and correct it at the source, so that it improves; feed every quote and price into our price history; and spend time each month learning new tools and features. We do not expect you to know our platform; we expect you to be curious, quick to learn, and convinced that well-used technology makes a good estimator better.

Required Qualifications

• 1 to 4 years of experience in MEP estimating, procurement, design or site work, in electrical or low current systems, in Cyprus, Greece or another EU market. Strong recent graduates with good digital skills are considered.
• Comfortable with digital tools and data; careful and organised.
• Able to read drawings and specifications and measure quantities accurately.
• Commitment to working through our platform and AI tools.
• Fluent English and Greek; the right to work in Cyprus.
• A degree in mechanical or electrical engineering, or equivalent experience.

Personal Traits

We are building one team, not hiring five individuals. We look for the same five traits in every member:

• Owns the number: can explain any price line by line, and says so when a price is wrong.
• Data discipline: records everything; trusts a sourced price over memory or habit.
• Learns fast: curious about tools and methods; changes habits quickly when there is a better way.
• Team first: shares work and data; meets the team's deadline, not only their own.
• Commercial sense: knows that cost drives winning, and never bends the cost to win.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience of the Cyprus market.
• Experience with digital takeoff or estimating tools.
• Experience dealing with suppliers in Cyprus.

How Success Is Measured

Team results (shared by all five): tenders on time and complete, value priced each month, estimate against actual, share of cost from our own data.

Your results:

• RFQs sent within 48 hours of the RFQ list being ready.
• Quotes filed the day they arrive.
• Errors found at the Lead's review, falling over time.
