Heavy Civil Senior Estimator
An experienced Heavy Civil Senior Estimator is required to support the successful delivery of major infrastructure and civil engineering projects. This is an excellent opportunity for a commercially minded professional with strong estimating expertise and a thorough understanding of complex heavy civil works, from early-stage feasibility through to tender submission.
Working closely with pre-construction, design, commercial and operational teams, you will lead the preparation of accurate, competitive and well-considered cost estimates. You will assess project requirements, identify risks and opportunities, and help develop robust pricing strategies that support successful bids and sustainable project delivery.
Key responsibilities
- Prepare detailed estimates, cost plans and tender submissions for major heavy civil and infrastructure projects.
- Review drawings, specifications, scopes of work and contract documentation to establish project requirements.
- Obtain and evaluate quotations from subcontractors, suppliers and specialist trade contractors.
- Develop resource, plant, material and labour allowances, ensuring all assumptions are clearly documented.
- Identify commercial, technical and delivery risks, including opportunities for value engineering and cost savings.
- Collaborate with project managers, engineers and supply chain partners to validate construction methodologies and programme requirements.
- Present estimates and tender strategies to senior stakeholders, responding to queries and supporting negotiations.
- Maintain accurate estimating records and contribute to the continuous improvement of processes, systems and cost databases.
About you
You will have substantial estimating experience within heavy civil engineering, infrastructure, utilities, highways, structures or a related sector. You should be confident interpreting technical information and translating construction methodologies into detailed, commercially sound estimates.
Strong analytical, organisational and communication skills are essential, together with the ability to manage competing deadlines and work effectively as part of a multidisciplinary team. Experience using estimating software and digital construction tools is desirable. A relevant qualification in quantity surveying, civil engineering, construction management or a related discipline would be advantageous.
This role offers the opportunity to contribute to technically challenging projects, influence tender strategy and play a key part in delivering high-quality infrastructure outcomes.
