MSCP provides highly innovative technical and organizational solutions for Heat Management in the Energy sector. Founded in 2011, the company supports clients across Oil & Gas, Mining, Power Generation, Water Treatment, and other industrial markets through engineering, manufacturing, construction, and maintenance services.

Our clients operate complex industrial facilities where safe, reliable, and cost-effective execution is essential. Estimating plays a critical role in ensuring projects are developed on a sound commercial foundation by balancing technical requirements, operational realities, and client expectations.

MSCP operates using a genuinely systemic organizational model, rather than a traditional hierarchical structure. Estimating is not an isolated department, it is an integrated function that supports Engineering, Procurement, Manufacturing, Operations, and Project Management through the continuous flow of accurate information.

Our approach is designed to protect workflow, reduce uncertainty, and support informed decision-making throughout the project lifecycle. Estimators at MSCP contribute not only to winning work but to ensuring projects are executable, profitable, and aligned with operational capabilities.

Success in this environment requires individuals who enjoy collaboration, continuous learning, and problem-solving within a highly integrated organization.

The Estimator is responsible for developing accurate and competitive project estimates while supporting the company's strategic growth objectives. Working closely with internal stakeholders, the Estimator evaluates project opportunities, develops pricing strategies, identifies commercial risks, and helps establish realistic execution plans before work begins.

This role is ideal for an individual with some estimating experience who is looking to further develop their technical and commercial skills within a collaborative and innovative organization.
