Estimator / Senior Estimator

Glasgow, Scotland

£75,000 - £100,000 + Benefits

Reinforced Concrete (RC) Structures and Civil Engineering Contractor - One of the biggest and best

About the Employer:

With offices in Glasgow and London, this specialist contractor completes a variety of packages for top-tier main contractors, develops, and private clients across the UK. With one of their divisions having early involvement at the enabling works stages carrying out remediation and demolition works, this business can take projects through groundwork, basement, and foundation stages through to the construction of reinforced concrete frames and structures. Project values vary but average current package sizes range from £10m to £70m each, on a mixture of residential, mixed-use, industrial, infrastructure, and energy projects.

On a personal note, I would add that I work very closely with this business not only because of their size and capability but also because of their vision, goals, and attitude towards the way they work. The owners and directors are all focused on not only being an option in the market but on being the best specialist contractor in the UK. I have already seen them go from strength to strength over the past few years and now I am genuinely excited about the continued expansion of this brand and the journey that their staff are on. This is a business I would hold up against any other in this market, and that’s based on feedback from people I have placed there and known for decades.

About the Opportunities:

Our client is looking to strengthen their existing preconstruction team by adding an experienced Senior Estimator to their ranks.

The opportunity will involve the usual duties such as putting together tenders for medium to large-scale concrete frames and civil engineering packages in and around Scotland and the North West of England. Clients include main contractors and developers within the build and civil engineering markets. Usual package values you will be expected to target could range anywhere from £10 million up to £100 million each and some or all of the following duties will apply:

* Preparation of tender submissions

* Measuring and take-offs from drawings

* Producing bills-of-quantities

* Cost Planning

* Pre and post Contract meetings with clients to sell not only the price but the reason they should pick your business over others too

* Build-up of tender price from first principles based on plans, programme, and scope of works

* This business uses Candy estimating software but training can be provided for those who have not used the system.

About the Requirements:

For this opportunity, I am looking for individuals who have previous experience working for RC / Concrete Frame, Groundwork, or Civil Engineering contractors in Scotland in an estimating capacity.

It is important you have the knowledge of pricing and producing tenders for these packages in and around Scotland to be considered.

That is it. I’m happy to talk to anyone who has the above.

About the Salary / Remuneration:

Due to the nature of this opportunity, I am looking to target individuals currently earning anywhere from £75,000 to £100,000 per annum.

Salaries will be negotiable at the point of the interview depending on the level of experience you have gained.

With the basic salary, our client offers the usual package of car allowance, pension, bonuses, and similar on a PAYE basis.

Self-employed payment routes are also available for those who prefer that setup.

How to Apply:

I am more than happy to discuss this opportunity with people over the phone or face-to-face in a fully confidential manner. This is an incestuous sector and I fully understand the importance of keeping things discrete.

Alternatively, it would be ideal to see a copy of your CV to understand your previous experience and employment. In line with GDPR, nothing will be done with your CV/details until we have discussed the role in detail anyway, but having gained an understanding of your formal past, this may help when we come to talk and discuss the option.

Either way, my contact details are listed below:

About Me, Your Consultant:

My name is Andrew Jackson and I am one of the founding directors of Cityscape Recruitment Ltd. I have over 19 years of experience in civil engineering & construction recruitment, during which time, I have specialised in the niche sectors of concrete frames, groundworks, basement construction, and demolition.

So, what does that mean for you? It means you won’t be trusting your career to a recruiter who doesn’t understand this market. I work with the vast majority of the groundwork & concrete frame businesses in the UK and I can help not only introduce you but can give you up-to-date information on each of them, helping you make an informed decision so you can take your career forward. I’ve been doing this for a fair while now and I’ve maintained a positive reputation doing what I do because I tell people the truth. I tell them everything I know and then let them choose. My job is to get you the options you want, give you the information you need, and then let you decide what feels right for you
