Civil Estimator I

Reference: bz3fn6j5yjygubxb12o7

The Role

We are seeking a motivated Civil Estimator I to support the preparation of accurate and competitive cost estimates for civil engineering and infrastructure projects. This is an excellent opportunity for an early-career estimator to develop their technical and commercial expertise while working alongside experienced project, procurement and engineering professionals.

You will assist with reviewing tender documents, drawings and specifications to understand project requirements and identify the resources, materials, plant and labour needed for delivery. You will contribute to estimates from initial enquiry through to submission, ensuring information is recorded clearly, assumptions are documented and deadlines are met.

Key Responsibilities

  • Review drawings, specifications, schedules and other tender information.
  • Prepare quantities, take-offs and basic cost calculations for civil works.
  • Obtain and compare supplier and subcontractor quotations.
  • Support the preparation of bills of quantities, pricing schedules and tender submissions.
  • Maintain estimating records, databases and cost information.
  • Identify potential risks, exclusions, discrepancies and opportunities within tender documentation.
  • Liaise with engineers, project managers, suppliers and subcontractors to clarify requirements.
  • Assist with post-tender reviews, cost comparisons and handover information.

About You

You will ideally have some experience in civil engineering, construction estimating, quantity surveying or a related technical environment. A relevant qualification, such as an HNC, HND or degree in civil engineering, construction, quantity surveying or a similar discipline, would be advantageous. Applications from candidates with strong numerical and technical skills who are keen to build a career in estimating are also welcome.

You should be comfortable interpreting technical information, working with spreadsheets and learning estimating or measurement software. Accuracy, organisation and attention to detail are essential, along with the ability to manage competing priorities and work effectively as part of a team. Clear communication and a practical, commercially aware approach will help you succeed in this role.

What Is Offered

This position offers structured development, varied project exposure and the opportunity to gain valuable experience across the civil engineering sector. Training and support will be provided to help you progress within estimating and the wider commercial function.
