Senior Construction Estimator for Federal Contracts

We are seeking an experienced Senior Construction Estimator to lead the preparation of accurate, competitive and commercially sound estimates for government and federal construction projects. This role will suit a technically strong professional who understands regulated procurement, public-sector contract requirements and the complexities of delivering projects in highly controlled environments.

You will work closely with project managers, engineers, subcontractors and suppliers to develop detailed cost plans and tender submissions. The successful candidate will be confident interpreting drawings, specifications and contract documents, while ensuring estimates comply with applicable procurement rules, project standards and submission deadlines.

Key responsibilities Prepare detailed conceptual, preliminary and final estimates for construction and refurbishment projects. Review drawings, specifications, schedules and site information to identify scope, risks and pricing requirements. Obtain and evaluate subcontractor and supplier quotations, validating inclusions, exclusions and assumptions. Develop quantity take-offs, labour forecasts, material pricing, equipment costs, overheads and profit margins. Support bids for federal contracts, including preparation of cost narratives, pricing schedules and supporting documentation. Collaborate with operational teams to assess methodology, programme, logistics and constructability. Maintain clear records of estimating assumptions, changes, risks and opportunities. Participate in tender reviews, value engineering exercises and post-submission clarifications. Monitor market conditions and maintain reliable cost databases and supplier relationships. About you

You will have substantial estimating experience within commercial, civil, infrastructure or facilities construction, with a proven record of supporting or leading bids for public-sector or federal work. Strong knowledge of construction methods, cost control principles and contract documentation is essential. Experience with government acquisition procedures, compliance requirements and secure-site projects would be highly advantageous.

Applicants should demonstrate excellent analytical, organisational and communication skills, together with advanced proficiency in estimating software and Microsoft Excel. A relevant construction, engineering or quantity surveying qualification is desirable. Professional accreditation or equivalent industry experience will also be valued.

What is offered

This is an opportunity to contribute to significant public infrastructure projects within a collaborative and technically focused environment. The position offers professional development, varied project exposure and the chance to influence successful outcomes from the earliest stages of delivery.
