My client is a privately-owned, independent civil engineering/groundworks contractor. They specialise in groundworks, remediation, reinforced concrete, and general civils.

As an Estimator, you will be responsible for all aspects of the tendering process, from pre-qualification through to tender submission, and then on award, ensuring a smooth handover to the site team.

• Contributing to the risk review/assessment process where required.
• Participating in meetings, as required. E.g. tender settlement meetings, presentations to clients, tender negotiations, and pre-start meetings.
• Maintaining an up-to-date knowledge of operating methods on site and the materials and resources required.
• Supporting and coaching more junior members of the team.

They offer a competitive salary and benefits package, which is negotiable depending on skills and experience.

We would love to hear from you if you have:
• Experience as an Estimator or Senior Estimator, preferably for a civil engineering/groundworks contractor, with the ability to prepare tender submissions from first principles.
• Contractual and commercial awareness, with the ability to understand and interpret drawings and other construction information.
• Excellent interpersonal and communication skills, with the ability to build lasting, successful relationships with colleagues, clients, suppliers, and subcontractors.
