An experienced Civil Estimator is sought to support the successful delivery of infrastructure, groundworks and civil engineering projects. This is an excellent opportunity for a commercially minded professional who can produce accurate estimates, assess project requirements and contribute to competitive, well-planned tenders.
Working closely with project managers, engineers, commercial colleagues and supply chain partners, you will be responsible for reviewing tender documentation, interpreting specifications and developing detailed cost plans. You will help ensure that estimates are commercially sound, technically robust and submitted within agreed deadlines.
Key responsibilities
- Review drawings, specifications, scopes of work and tender documents.
- Prepare accurate estimates, bills of quantities and detailed cost breakdowns for civil engineering and infrastructure projects.
- Obtain and evaluate quotations from suppliers and subcontractors.
- Assess labour, plant, materials, preliminaries, overheads and risk allowances.
- Identify commercial, technical and contractual risks, escalating issues where appropriate.
- Engage with clients, consultants and supply chain partners to clarify project requirements.
- Support value engineering exercises and identify opportunities to improve cost efficiency.
- Maintain clear tender records and contribute to handovers following successful bids.
- Assist with the ongoing development of estimating processes, databases and cost information.
About you
You will have previous estimating experience within civil engineering, construction, highways, utilities, earthworks or a related environment. A strong understanding of construction methods, quantities and pricing is essential, along with the ability to interpret technical drawings and contractual information.
You should be highly organised, commercially aware and confident working to tight deadlines. Strong numerical, analytical and communication skills are required, together with proficiency in relevant estimating, pricing or Microsoft Office software. Experience with standard forms of contract and relevant industry qualifications would be advantageous.
In return, you will have the opportunity to develop your career while contributing to a varied portfolio of civil engineering projects in a collaborative and professional environment.
