We're working with an innovative civil engineering contractor who is growing their estimating team due to the influx of tender opportunities going into 2025. The business is an expert in the field of heavy civils and road construction, working as a principal contractor on projects up to £25m for public and private sector clients.
There is an excellent opportunity to join an experienced team that can support you with a wealth of knowledge and a structured training plan to bring you up to speed as a stand-alone estimator. Working closely with the preconstruction team, you'll support bids on large frameworks, major projects, and reactive works - ranging in values and complexities.
Previous experience in estimating is desirable but not essential; however, working in a civil engineering environment in a hands-on site role or commercial role is required.
Duties include:
1. Calculate material, labour, and equipment quantities by analysing construction drawings and specifications.
2. Prepare initial cost estimates and budgets by gathering pricing information and creating cost breakdowns.
3. Collect, review, and compare quotes from suppliers and subcontractors to ensure competitive pricing.
4. Support the preconstruction team with methodology and pricing strategy.
They're looking for someone who wants to be a part of this journey, someone who can offer support to the bid team and is results-driven.
