Estimator-Underground Utilities
We are seeking an experienced Estimator – Underground Utilities to prepare accurate, competitive and commercially sound tenders for infrastructure and civil engineering projects. Working closely with operational, commercial and supply chain teams, you will assess client requirements, interpret drawings and specifications, and develop detailed cost estimates for underground utility works, including drainage, water, gas, electricity, telecommunications and associated civils.
Your responsibilities will include reviewing tender documentation, conducting site visits, identifying risks and opportunities, obtaining and analysing subcontractor and supplier quotations, and compiling comprehensive estimates within agreed deadlines. You will prepare bills of quantities, resource and labour calculations, plant and material allowances, preliminaries, programme assumptions and value engineering proposals. You will also maintain clear records of estimating decisions, support tender presentations and handover meetings, and contribute to the development of consistent estimating processes and commercial controls.
The successful candidate will have proven estimating experience within underground utilities, civil engineering or a related infrastructure environment, with a strong understanding of construction methods, utility installation and industry standards. You will be confident reading engineering drawings, specifications and schedules, and able to use relevant estimating software and Microsoft Office applications, particularly Excel. Strong numerical, analytical and organisational skills are essential, along with the ability to manage multiple tenders and prioritise competing deadlines. You should be commercially aware, detail-focused and confident communicating with clients, suppliers, subcontractors and internal stakeholders. A relevant qualification in quantity surveying, civil engineering or construction would be advantageous, as would experience of working on highways, infrastructure or major utility schemes.
