£50,000–£75,000 DOE + car allowance, pension & bonus
Hybrid working | Permanent
Our client is a well-established specialist contractor working across civil engineering and structural repair, delivering complex projects on bridges, structures and major infrastructure UK-wide. They offer a varied, technically interesting workload spanning structural rehabilitation and strengthening through to elements of major new-build schemes.
They're looking to add either an Estimator or a Senior Estimator to their Acton office. Hybrid working is genuinely built into the role, easing to around 50% office-based once you're settled in.
The role- Review tender documentation, drawings and specifications to define scope and identify key risks and opportunities
- Prepare conceptual, budget and firm-price cost estimates, building up labour, plant, materials and subcontract costs
- Issue enquiries, analyse subcontractor quotations, and build robust cost comparisons
- Conduct site visits to understand constraints, logistics and methodology
- Work closely with Operations, Technical, Commercial and HSQE teams to ensure estimates are deliverable and safe
- Develop bid clarification and risk registers, and support governance and submission documentation
- Build and maintain relationships with clients, consultants and supply chain partners, supporting wider business development
- Proven estimating experience within structural repairs, civil engineering, or a related specialist construction sector
- Multi-disciplinary knowledge across areas such as concrete repair, structural strengthening, and refurbishment of bridges and structures — a good range matters more than ticking every box
- A degree in civil engineering or a related discipline is advantageous but not essential
- Strong commercial awareness and confident stakeholder engagement across operational and technical teams
- Full UK driving licence; CSCS card desirable
- Good connections within the construction sector
- £50,000–£75,000 depending on experience
- Car allowance
- Pension (5% employer contribution)
- Discretionary annual bonus
- 25 days holiday plus bank holidays
- Hybrid working
- Long-term sick pay and death-in-service cover
