Estimator - Site Work
We are seeking an experienced Estimator – Site Work to prepare accurate and competitive estimates for a range of groundworks, civil engineering and external works projects. Working closely with clients, contractors, suppliers and internal teams, you will assess project requirements, interpret drawings and specifications, and develop detailed cost plans that support successful tenders and project delivery.
Your responsibilities will include reviewing tender documentation, taking off quantities, obtaining and comparing supplier and subcontractor quotations, and pricing labour, plant, materials and associated site costs. You will identify risks, exclusions and potential opportunities, ensuring that estimates are commercially sound and submitted within agreed timescales. You will also contribute to tender submissions, prepare bills of quantities and supporting documentation, and maintain clear records of assumptions, costs and revisions. Liaising with project managers and site teams, you will help ensure that estimated works can be delivered safely, efficiently and within budget.
The successful candidate will have previous estimating experience within site works, groundworks, civil engineering, utilities, highways or a related construction environment. A strong understanding of construction methods, materials, plant and subcontractor pricing is essential, together with the ability to read technical drawings and specifications accurately. You should be confident using estimating software and Microsoft Office, particularly Excel, and be comfortable working with electronic tendering and document management systems. Excellent numerical, analytical and organisational skills are required, along with strong attention to detail and the ability to manage competing deadlines. Commercial awareness, clear communication and a proactive approach will be highly valued. Relevant qualifications in quantity surveying, construction or civil engineering are advantageous, although equivalent practical experience will also be considered.
