Civil Estimator

We are seeking an experienced Civil Estimator to join a busy pre-construction team. This is an excellent opportunity for a commercially minded professional to contribute to a varied portfolio of civil engineering and infrastructure projects, from early-stage feasibility through to tender submission.

The role

As Civil Estimator, you will be responsible for preparing accurate, competitive and commercially sound estimates for a range of works. You will review drawings, specifications and tender documentation, identify project requirements and develop detailed cost plans. Working closely with the pre-construction, design, procurement and delivery teams, you will help ensure that tenders are completed on time and reflect the scope, risks and opportunities associated with each project.

  • Interpret drawings, bills of quantities, scopes of work and technical specifications.
  • Prepare detailed estimates, cost plans, take-offs and tender submissions.
  • Obtain and assess quotations from subcontractors, suppliers and specialists.
  • Identify risks, exclusions, assumptions and potential value-engineering opportunities.
  • Maintain accurate estimating records and contribute to project handover meetings.
  • Support the review of contract terms, programme requirements and commercial conditions.
  • Build positive working relationships with clients, consultants, suppliers and internal stakeholders.

About you

You will have proven estimating experience within civil engineering, construction, utilities, highways, groundworks or a related sector. A strong understanding of construction methods, materials, labour costs and supply-chain pricing is essential. You should be confident working with estimating software and Microsoft Office, particularly Excel, and be able to analyse technical information accurately.

Strong communication, organisation and negotiation skills are required, together with excellent attention to detail and the ability to manage multiple tenders against tight deadlines. A relevant qualification in civil engineering, quantity surveying, construction or a related discipline would be advantageous, although practical industry experience will also be considered.

This role offers the opportunity to work on challenging projects, develop commercial expertise and make a direct contribution to successful project delivery. A competitive salary and benefits package will be offered in line with experience.
