Estimator
 
Long-Term Contract | Hybrid | Outside IR35 | £350-£500/day DOE

Are you an Estimator or Senior Estimator with real earthworks experience wanting to join a busy pre-construction team on a strong pipeline of highways projects.

You will be managing the tendering of projects - maximising tendered margin while identifying value engineering opportunities and successfully winning work.
 
What you'll do

· Actively tender projects received by the business

· Understand contractual terms and identify potential risks to the business

· Review all information received to understand the scope of works to be tendered

· Submit tenders on time and to the client's requirements

· Accurately measure relevant works to derive and validate quantities for pricing

· Build up tender rates from first principles on a labour, plant and material basis

· Identify value engineering opportunities to offer clients

· Obtain market rates for subcontracted works

· Respond to client queries in a timely manner

· Understand programme and buildability constraints within a tender

· Lead the handover of secured work, passing information to the delivery team

· Maintain client relationships and seek opportunities for new and continued work

· Provide support and advice to less experienced members of the team

What you'll bring

· Proven estimating experience on earthworks / highways schemes

· Confident cut-and-fill and mass-haul take-off

· Solid grasp of plant, muck-away and groundworks pricing

· Estimating software and strong Excel skills

Why this is a good opportunity:

· Outside IR35 - keep the full benefit of your rate
·£350-£500/day DOE - reflecting your specialism and seniority

· Hybrid working - office and home, structured around delivery

· Long-term security - a genuine pipeline, not a few weeks' cover

The freedom of contracting, the stability of a long term contract, and an outside-IR35 rate. A rare combination in this market.
