Utility & Earthwork Estimator

An experienced Utility & Earthwork Estimator is required to prepare accurate and competitive estimates for civil engineering, infrastructure and groundworks projects. This role will suit a commercially minded professional with a strong understanding of utility installation, excavation, earthworks and associated construction activities.

Working from tender documentation, drawings, specifications and site information, you will assess project requirements, identify risks and develop detailed cost plans. You will liaise with clients, subcontractors, suppliers and internal teams to clarify scope, obtain quotations and ensure submissions are commercially robust and delivered within deadlines.

Key responsibilities

  • Review drawings, specifications, schedules and contract documentation to establish project scope.
  • Prepare detailed estimates, bills of quantities, take-offs and tender submissions.
  • Estimate costs for utilities, drainage, ducting, excavations, backfilling, reinstatement and general earthworks.
  • Obtain, assess and negotiate supplier and subcontractor quotations.
  • Identify risks, exclusions, opportunities and potential variations within tender packages.
  • Collaborate with project managers, engineers and commercial colleagues to validate buildability and pricing assumptions.
  • Maintain accurate estimating records and support the handover of successful tenders to the delivery team.
  • Monitor market conditions, material costs and labour rates to maintain up-to-date pricing information.

About you

You will have previous experience estimating utility, groundworks, highways, civil engineering or related construction projects. A strong knowledge of excavation methods, utility specifications, plant, labour requirements and construction sequencing is essential. Experience using estimating software, spreadsheets and digital measurement tools would be advantageous.

You should be commercially aware, highly organised and confident interpreting technical information. Excellent attention to detail, communication and negotiation skills are required, along with the ability to manage multiple tenders and meet demanding deadlines. A relevant qualification in quantity surveying, civil engineering or construction would be beneficial, although relevant practical experience will also be considered.

This is an excellent opportunity to join a professional project environment where your estimating expertise will contribute directly to the successful delivery of major infrastructure and earthworks schemes.
