You will be responsible for preparing accurate, competitive and commercially sound estimates for a range of complex civil engineering projects, including earthworks, highways, bridges, structures, utilities and associated infrastructure. Working closely with project, commercial, engineering and procurement teams, you will ensure that all tenders are thoroughly reviewed, clearly presented and submitted within agreed timescales.

About you
You will have substantial estimating experience within heavy civil engineering, construction or infrastructure, ideally gained on large-scale and technically demanding projects. A sound understanding of construction methods, sequencing, contracts and commercial principles is essential, together with the ability to interpret technical information and challenge assumptions constructively.
You should be confident using estimating and cost management software, as well as Microsoft Office, particularly Excel. Strong numerical, analytical and communication skills are required, along with the ability to manage multiple deadlines and work effectively under pressure. A relevant qualification in civil engineering, quantity surveying, construction or a related discipline would be advantageous.
This is an excellent opportunity to join a high-performing project environment offering varied work, professional development and the chance to make a significant contribution to major infrastructure schemes.
