Estimator - Civil Projects
We are seeking an experienced Estimator to support the successful delivery of civil construction projects from initial enquiry through to contract award. Working across a range of infrastructure, earthworks, drainage, roads, utilities, and general civil projects, you will prepare accurate, competitive, and commercially sound estimates while collaborating with project managers, engineers, subcontractors, and suppliers.
Your responsibilities will include reviewing tender documents, drawings, specifications, and scopes of work; conducting site visits and risk assessments; developing detailed quantities and cost build-ups; obtaining and assessing supplier and subcontractor quotations; and preparing clear, comprehensive tender submissions. You will identify project risks, exclusions, opportunities, and value-engineering options, ensuring all assumptions are documented and pricing is aligned with project requirements. The role will also involve maintaining estimating records, contributing to tender strategy, supporting contract negotiations, and assisting with handover information when projects are secured.
To succeed in this role, you will have previous estimating experience within the civil construction or infrastructure sector, with a sound understanding of construction methodologies, materials, plant, labour requirements, and industry standards. Strong skills in reading technical drawings, interpreting specifications, measuring quantities, and using estimating or cost-management software are essential. You will be commercially aware, highly organised, and confident working to deadlines while managing multiple tenders simultaneously. Excellent written and verbal communication skills, strong attention to detail, and the ability to build effective relationships with internal and external stakeholders are also required. A relevant qualification in civil engineering, construction management, quantity surveying, or a related discipline is desirable, along with knowledge of local market rates, procurement processes, and relevant health and safety requirements.
