Estimator, Engineering, Civil Engineering

Estimator | Civil Engineering & Renewables | Hybrid Working

Not every estimating role is just about producing numbers.

Some give you the opportunity to influence the direction of a business, work on projects that genuinely interest you, and enjoy the flexibility to do your best work without being tied to an office.

This is one of those opportunities.

An established and growing Scottish civil engineering and renewables contractor is continuing to secure new work across infrastructure, renewable energy and public sector frameworks. As a result of this sustained growth, they're looking to appoint an Estimator who wants to do more than simply price tenders.

Working closely with the business owner and senior operational team, you'll play a key role in identifying opportunities, shaping bids and helping win projects that will drive the business forward. Your opinion will be valued, and you'll have genuine visibility of the wider commercial strategy.

This is a business that trusts its people.

You'll have the flexibility to work from home for much of the week, manage your own workload and focus on delivering quality rather than clock-watching. If you're an experienced estimator who enjoys autonomy, you'll be given the freedom to work in a way that suits you.

The Role

You'll take ownership of tenders from enquiry through to submission, preparing competitive and commercially robust estimates across a varied portfolio of civil engineering and renewable energy projects.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Preparing detailed cost estimates and tender submissions
• Reviewing drawings, specifications and contract documentation
• Obtaining and evaluating quotations from suppliers and subcontractors
• Working alongside delivery teams to ensure buildability and commercial risks are understood
• Supporting successful bid submissions and helping secure future work

About You

You'll probably already be working as an Estimator or Senior Estimator within civil engineering, infrastructure, utilities or a similar contracting environment.

You'll also be someone who:

• Enjoys taking ownership of your work
• Thinks commercially as well as technically
• Produces accurate, well-considered estimates
• Wants to be part of a business where your contribution genuinely matters

Why Consider This Opportunity?

• Flexible hybrid working with genuine home-based flexibility
• Strong pipeline of secured work across multiple sectors
• Diverse projects that keep the role interesting
• Direct access to decision-makers with the opportunity to influence future projects
• A supportive, down-to-earth culture built on trust rather than micromanagement

If you're looking for an estimating role that offers flexibility, variety and the chance to have a real impact within a growing business, I'd be happy to tell you more.
