Contract Civil Estimator
We are seeking an experienced Contract Civil Estimator to prepare accurate, competitive estimates for a range of civil construction and infrastructure projects. Working closely with project managers, engineers, subcontractors and suppliers, you will assess tender documentation, interpret drawings and specifications, and develop detailed cost plans that support successful project delivery. This is an opportunity to join a professional, collaborative environment where your commercial judgement and technical expertise will contribute directly to securing and delivering quality work.
Your responsibilities will include reviewing scopes of work, preparing quantity take-offs, obtaining and analysing supplier and subcontractor quotations, and calculating labour, plant, materials, preliminaries, overheads and margins. You will identify risks, exclusions, assumptions and opportunities during the estimating process, maintain accurate tender records, and contribute to value engineering and methodology reviews. The role will also involve attending site visits and tender meetings, clarifying requirements with clients and consultants, assisting with bid submissions, and supporting the handover of successful tenders to the delivery team.
To succeed in this role, you will have proven estimating experience within civil construction, preferably across earthworks, drainage, roads, utilities, concrete or related infrastructure projects. Strong knowledge of construction methods, industry rates, procurement processes and contract requirements is essential, along with the ability to read technical drawings and specifications accurately. You will be confident using estimating software, spreadsheets and standard Microsoft Office applications, and be highly organised with excellent attention to detail. Strong communication and negotiation skills, sound commercial awareness, and the ability to manage multiple tenders under tight deadlines are also required. Relevant qualifications in civil engineering, construction management, quantity surveying or a related discipline will be advantageous.
