Pinnacle Infotech Solutions - Head - Estimation - BIM/Digital Construction & Digital Twin

We're Hiring: Head Estimation (BIM, Digital Construction & Digital Twin).

Location: Flexible / Hybrid.

Function: Commercial | Pre-Contracts | Estimation.

Experience: 15 - 20 years.

Are you a commercial leader who treats estimation as a technology-driven science rather than a spreadsheet exercise? Do you know exactly how many hours it takes to model a complex MEP grid or stand up a digital twin and how to price it so margin is protected long after award?

We're looking for a Head Estimation to lead our end-to-end estimation and proposal function across global BIM, digital construction, and digital twin projects.

This is a strategic, decision-making role with direct access to senior leadership and real authority over pricing, margin thresholds, and bid/no-bid calls.

What You'll Own:

• Estimation Strategy & Commercial Leadership: Drive global proposal strategy, maximize pricing leverage, and participate directly in high-value client negotiations and deal closures.
• Bid Governance & Decision Authority: Set and enforce organization-wide estimation standards, cost models, and workflows; exercise defined authority over pricing ranges and escalate margin-sensitive bids.
• Margin Accountability: Own bid margins against approved benchmarks and rigorously track post-award variance against actual delivery.
• Technology & Digital Enablement: Champion AI-enabled estimation tools, automation, and digital pricing models, using historical productivity analytics to sharpen turnaround and accuracy.
• Risk & Contractual Alignment: Partner with Contracts to identify and mitigate LD exposure and delivery risk at the pre-bid stage across multiple contract types.
• Team Leadership at Scale: Mentor, structure, and grow a high-performing, multi-location team of estimators, quantity surveyors, and commercial analysts.

What You Bring:

• Deep understanding of BIM-led delivery models, digital twin solutions, cost drivers, and international pricing mechanisms.
• High digital maturity: comfortable with automation, AI-enabled estimation, and data analytics platforms.
• Fluency in international contractual frameworks (e.g., US legal frameworks vs. UK / Middle East FIDIC contracts).
• A track record managing global, multi-region bidding pipelines (Americas, Europe, APAC, Middle East) and scaling multi-location estimation teams (15+ estimators/analysts).
• Exceptional stakeholder management and the resilience to deliver accurate proposals under aggressive, global timelines.

Tools & Systems:

• Estimation & QS: CostOS, Candy (MTWO), Cubicost, Bluebeam Revu, or Planswift.
• BIM Ecosystem: Autodesk Revit, Navisworks, Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC) / BIM 360.
• Analytics & ERP: Power BI / Tableau, with SAP / Oracle commercial module integration experience.

Eligibility:

• Experience: 15-20 years in estimation, pre-contracts, or commercial roles within BIM, engineering, or digital construction.
• Education: B.E./B.Tech in Civil, Construction, Mechanical, Electrical, or a related discipline. An MBA or PG in Construction Management or Quantity Surveying is preferred.
• Compensation: As per company standards highly commensurate with experience.

Why This Role:

This isn't a back-office numbers seat. You'll be a "Digital Commercial Architect" the analytically rigorous leader who ensures the company never underbids and never leaks margin post-award, while building the data-driven estimation engine of the future.
