WE ARE HIRING: CONSTRUCTION ENGINEER / COST ESTIMATOR ?

Location: Málaga.

Are you a technical mind with a builders soul? Do you combine pinpoint engineering accuracy with the energy and drive of a true team player?

At DPE International, we are expanding our general footprint, and we are looking for a key player to join our brand-new Spanish branch. This isn’t just another corporate desk job; this is your opportunity to step in from Day 1, help us build our operations from scratch, and grow alongside a fast-scaling international company!

If you have a passion for construction, a sharp eye for numbers, and you bring a high-energy attitude, we want you on our team.

? THE MISSION (What you will actually do):

Your role will bridge the gap between initial architectural design and real-world construction costs. You will be the master of budgets and local sourcing in Spain:

- Build the Foundation (Immediate Phase): You will hit the ground running by conducting market research to source, contact, and pre-qualify local subcontractors and suppliers across Spain, building our local cost database (€/m2) from scratch.
- Master the Estimates: Perform precise quantity surveys and technical drawings take-offs. You’ll prepare highly accurate Initial Valuations for our international clients and formulate final, bank-compliant binding offers.
- System & Variation Management: Keep our internal ERP system updated, price design variations, and analyze work-package balances to ensure zero guesswork.
- Cross-Departmental Collaboration: Work hand-in-hand with our Architecture, Sales, and Procurement teams to resolve cost challenges and optimize projects.
- Client Advisory: Guide international investors through their material selection processes,



offering clear, professional, and reliable technical support.
- Tool & Data Optimization: Maintain, update, and continuously improve our cost estimation files, pricing lists, and automated sheets to ensure our tools are always sharp and scalable.

?️ WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR (Our Expectations):

We dont just hire resumes; we hire attitude and drive. For this role, you need to bring:

- The Experience: Minimum of 3 years of hands-on experience in Construction Sites within the Spanish market. You must know how a construction site actually operates, how to deal with subcontractors, and understand real-world execution costs.
- The Background: Degree in Building Engineering (Arquitectura Técnica / Ingeniería de Edificación) or Civil Engineering (Ingeniería de Caminos / Obras Públicas).
- Technical Excellence: Native fluency in Excel and precision in interpreting complex technical drawings.
- The Vibe: A friendly, optimistic, and high-energy personality. We value people who bring solutions, and who thrive in dynamic environments.
- The Commitment: Accuracy, sharp attention to detail, and the readiness for deep, focused technical work.
- The Language: Native or bilingual fluency in Spanish (essential for daily communication with local subcontractors and suppliers). And since we are an international team,



professional fluency in English is a must.

? WHATS IN IT FOR YOU (What we offer):

- Attractive Compensation: A competitive salary package based on your experience and abilities.
- True Hybrid Flexibility: Task-based working hours and a flexible hybrid model. We trust your commitment; we focus on results, not clocking in.
- True Growth Potential: Opportunities to develop your professional career through a transparent career path as we expand and establish our operations across the Spanish market.
- Top-Tier Culture: Work within an ambitious, dedicated team based on mutual respect and collaboration, without unnecessary corporate formalities. We treat each other like family and value results over hierarchy.
- Full Backing: Full technical support and internal onboarding from our international team to set you up for success.
- Stability: Stable employment with a solid, long-term horizon.

At DPE, we look for solid technical backgrounds, but what truly wins us over is your potential, drive, and proactive attitude!
