Senior Estimator, Highway Infrastructure
We are seeking a Senior Estimator, Highway Infrastructure to support the successful delivery of major highways, roads and civil engineering projects. This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced estimating professional to play a key role in preparing competitive, accurate and commercially robust tenders across a diverse infrastructure portfolio.
You will lead the estimating process from initial enquiry through to tender submission, reviewing drawings, specifications, schedules and contract documentation to establish project scope and cost requirements. Your responsibilities will include developing detailed estimates, bills of quantities and pricing schedules; obtaining and evaluating supplier and subcontractor quotations; identifying risks, opportunities and value engineering options; and preparing clear tender summaries for senior stakeholders. You will work closely with commercial, engineering, procurement and operations teams to ensure assumptions, construction methodologies, programme requirements and resource forecasts are fully reflected in each submission. You may also contribute to post-tender negotiations, handover meetings and lessons-learned reviews.
The successful candidate will have substantial estimating experience within highways, highways maintenance, infrastructure or a related civil engineering environment, with a strong understanding of construction methods, materials, plant, labour and subcontract packages. Experience pricing complex tenders and working with relevant contract forms is essential, alongside the ability to interpret technical information and assess commercial risk. Strong numerical, analytical and organisational skills are required, together with confidence using estimating and cost management software and Microsoft Office applications, particularly Excel. You will be a proactive communicator who can manage competing deadlines, challenge information constructively and build effective relationships at all levels. A relevant qualification in civil engineering, quantity surveying, commercial management or a related discipline would be advantageous. In return, you will join a collaborative project environment offering professional development and the opportunity to influence high-profile infrastructure schemes.
