💰 UODC IS HIRING: COST & BUDGET OFFICER
📍 1 Position Available
A project can look profitable in a proposal and quietly lose money during execution.
That is why UODC is looking for a Cost & Budget Officer who can protect project profitability—from the first quantity take-off to the final cost report.
This is not simply an estimating position.
The Cost & Budget Officer will serve as UODC’s primary owner of project estimating and cost management. The successful candidate will prepare accurate estimates, establish realistic project budgets, monitor actual costs and help management make sound commercial decisions.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
🔹 Pre-Construction and Estimating
• Review plans, specifications and bid documents
• Prepare accurate quantity take-offs and Bills of Quantities
• Develop detailed cost estimates for architectural, interior fit-out and construction projects
• Coordinate with Procurement for supplier and subcontractor quotations
• Coordinate with Construction Operations on productivity, methodology and execution assumptions
• Prepare bid summaries and pricing recommendations
• Identify missing scope, unclear assumptions and potential cost risks before bid submission
🔹 Project Cost Control
• Establish the approved project budget upon award
• Monitor actual costs against the approved budget
• Track material, labor, subcontractor and equipment costs
• Identify potential overruns before they become serious losses
• Recommend practical corrective actions
• Prepare accurate monthly project cost reports for management
🔹 Cost Database Management
• Maintain complete historical cost records
• Develop and continuously improve UODC’s unit-cost database
• Track market pricing movements and escalation risks
• Use lessons from completed projects to improve future estimates
🔹 Management and Bid Support
• Participate in bid review meetings
• Support strategic pricing decisions
• Help management evaluate project profitability and commercial risks
• Challenge assumptions when the numbers do not make sense
WHO WE’RE LOOKING FOR
• Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering, Construction Management, Quantity Surveying, Architecture or a related field
• Licensed Civil Engineer preferred but not required
• At least five years of relevant experience in estimating, quantity surveying, project costing or cost control
• At least two years of experience preparing complete project estimates independently
• Experience in fit-out, commercial interiors, office fit-outs, residential development or general construction
• Experience working with a contractor, design-build firm or developer is preferred
TECHNICAL CAPABILITIES
• Strong quantity take-off and BOQ preparation skills
• Solid cost-estimating and budget-development experience
• Good knowledge of construction methods and materials
• Strong Excel proficiency; advanced capability is preferred
• Familiarity with construction schedules and project execution
• Strong analytical, reporting and problem-solving skills
THE PERSON WE NEED
You have a sharp eye for detail and a strong sense of accountability.
You do not simply accept quotations, quantities or assumptions at face value. You verify the numbers, challenge weak assumptions and raise risks before they damage the project’s margin.
You understand that the lowest estimate is not always the best estimate. An unrealistically low bid may win the project—but it can also win the company several months of financial pain.
You must have the commercial judgment to balance competitiveness, project risks and sustainable profitability.
HOW SUCCESS WILL BE MEASURED
• Accuracy of submitted bids
• Difference between estimated and actual gross profit
• Percentage of projects completed within the approved budget
• Timeliness of estimate submissions
• Completeness and reliability of the cost database
• Accuracy of monthly project cost reports
IDEAL EXPERIENCE
The ideal candidate has worked as an Estimator, Quantity Surveyor or Cost Engineer for a contractor, fit-out company or developer.
You should have experience handling complete project estimates—from receiving bid documents and preparing quantity take-offs to developing the final price and supporting the project upon award.
Shortlisted candidates may be asked to complete a practical estimating and cost-analysis exercise. We want to understand not only what you know, but how you examine assumptions, identify risks and arrive at a commercially sound recommendation.
Interested candidates may apply through LinkedIn or send UODC a direct message with the following:
• Updated résumé
• Summary of relevant estimating or cost-control experience
• Types and sizes of projects previously handled
• Current location
• Earliest possible starting date

🚧 UODC IS HIRING: SITE ENGINEERS
📍 2 Positions Available
UODC is looking for Site Engineers who can catch problems before they become costly rework.
This position is not for someone who simply monitors activity. We need professionals who can study drawings, anticipate conflicts, verify work carefully and follow technical issues through to closure.
The role reports to the Project Construction Manager.
WHO WE’RE LOOKING FOR
• Civil Engineer or Architect
• At least 2–5 years of actual site experience
• Strong ability to read and coordinate Architectural, Structural, MEPF and Interior Design drawings
• Skilled in site layout, setting-out, dimension and elevation verification
• Good understanding of construction methodology and sequencing
• Experienced in shop drawing and material submittal coordination
• Capable of conducting QA/QC inspections, especially before concealment
• Able to identify drawing conflicts and resolve or escalate technical issues early
• Experienced in quantity verification and coordination with the Quantity Surveyor
• Disciplined in documenting RFIs, variations and site instructions
• Able to prepare material requirements and two-week look-ahead plans
• Strong in technical reporting and site documentation
THE PERSON WE NEED
You pay attention to details others may overlook.
You are technically assertive enough to question incorrect or conflicting work. You escalate issues early, plan several days ahead and coordinate professionally with designers, subcontractors and site teams.
Most importantly, you do not consider an issue finished simply because you reported it. You follow it through until it is resolved.
A short practical site scenario will form part of the screening process for shortlisted candidates. This will allow applicants to demonstrate how they analyze drawings, identify risks and respond to real site situations.
Interested candidates may apply through LinkedIn or send UODC a direct message with the following:
• Updated résumé
• Current location
• Earliest possible starting date

🏗️ UODC IS HIRING: SITE SUPERVISOR
📍 1 Position Available
A good Site Supervisor does not wait until the schedule is already delayed before raising the alarm.
UODC is looking for an experienced Site Supervisor who can lead workers, coordinate subcontractors and keep daily site activities moving according to plan.
The role reports to the Project Construction Manager.
WHO WE’RE LOOKING FOR
• At least 3–5 years of actual construction or fit-out supervision experience
• Strong knowledge of construction and fit-out methodologies
• Able to interpret drawings and translate them into clear daily site activities
• Skilled in manpower planning and productivity monitoring
• Strong understanding of work sequencing and subcontractor coordination
• Experienced in preparing material requests and verifying deliveries
• Capable of inspecting workmanship and enforcing quality standards
• Committed to site safety and proper housekeeping
• Able to prepare accurate daily and weekly accomplishment reports
• Capable of identifying site risks before they affect the schedule
THE PERSON WE NEED
You provide clear direction, so workers understand the day’s targets, priorities and standards.
You are firm but respectful when enforcing discipline. You notice poor workmanship, missing materials and schedule risks early—and you act on them.
You do not merely report problems. You coordinate solutions, hold the right people accountable and escalate delays before they become critical.
You remain reliable and organized even when the site becomes busy and pressure starts to rise. Construction is already complicated enough; confusion should not be part of the methodology.
A short practical site scenario will form part of the screening process for shortlisted candidates. This will assess how applicants plan work, manage risks and respond to actual site challenges.
Interested candidates may apply through LinkedIn or send UODC a direct message with the following:
• Updated résumé
• Current location

📈 UODC IS HIRING: BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT HEAD
📍 1 Leadership Position Available
UODC is looking for a Business Development Head who can do more than collect contacts, attend networking events and send proposals.
We need a commercial leader who can build a healthy pipeline, pursue the right opportunities and convert strong prospects into profitable, long-term client relationships.
WHO WE’RE LOOKING FOR
• Strong B2B business development experience
• Experience in Architecture, Interior Design, Fit-Out, Construction, Real Estate or professional services is strongly preferred
• Capable of developing and executing a practical sales strategy
• Strong in lead generation and client acquisition
• Experienced in proposal strategy, negotiation and closing
• Skilled in key account management
• Able to prepare revenue forecasts and sales plans
• Capable of analyzing pipeline health, conversion rates and sales performance
• Experienced in strategic partnerships and professional networking
• Able to lead Sales and Marketing against clear targets
• Strong commercial understanding of pricing, margins and opportunity quality
THE LEADER WE NEED
You quickly understand what matters to the client, what UODC can realistically deliver and whether an opportunity deserves our time.
You sell through insight and consultation—not pressure.
You have the executive presence to engage owners, developers and senior decision-makers. You are persistent in following up, comfortable discussing budgets and confident enough to ask for the business.
You also know that not every lead is a good lead.
The right candidate prioritizes high-value opportunities, keeps the pipeline updated and drops weak prospects when the facts no longer support the pursuit. You take accountability when targets are missed, examine what went wrong and adjust the strategy.
Most importantly, you do not overpromise just to close a deal. Winning the wrong project is not a victory—it is merely a future problem wearing a sales badge.
THE SCREENING CHALLENGE
Shortlisted candidates will be asked to present a simple first 90-day Business Development Plan covering:
• Priority target clients
• Prospecting and lead-generation strategy
• Pipeline management
• Conversion strategy
We are not looking for a theoretical presentation filled with sales jargon. We want to see how you think, prioritize and turn a market opportunity into practical action.
Interested candidates may apply through LinkedIn or send UODC a direct message with the following:
• Updated résumé
• Brief summary of relevant business development results
• Current location
• Earliest possible starting date
