Estimator - Surfacing

Estimator – Surfacing / Highways

Location: Flexible (Kent / South East projects)
Salary: £50,000 – £70,000 + Package (depending on experience)

This isn't a box-ticking Estimator role.

This is for someone who understands how surfacing work is won, priced, and delivered — and wants to be part of a business where their input actually matters.

You'll be working closely with senior leadership on a range of surfacing and highways projects, taking ownership of tenders from initial enquiry through to submission.

If you're currently pricing work but feel stuck, under pressure, or lacking progression — this is worth a conversation.

• Preparing accurate cost estimates for surfacing and highways projects
• Reviewing drawings, specifications, and tender documentation
• Pricing works across asphalt, civils, and associated packages
• Liaising with suppliers and subcontractors for quotations
• Supporting bid submissions and commercial strategy
• Working alongside operations to ensure realistic and deliverable pricing

• Experience in estimating within surfacing, highways, or civil engineering
• OR a strong Quantity Surveyor with pricing/tendering exposure
• Good understanding of asphalt / road construction projects
• Ability to interpret drawings and technical documentation
• Commercial awareness and attention to detail

• Clear progression route — not a dead-end estimating role
• Less red tape than Tier 1 contractors
• Opportunity to work on a variety of projects
• A business where your work directly impacts success
