Join a Leading Tier One Contractor Delivering Major Infrastructure Projects
An exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced Senior Civils Estimator to join a highly respected Tier One contractor delivering a strong pipeline of major water infrastructure projects.
This is a fantastic opportunity for an estimator who wants to be part of a forward-thinking business with long-term workload security, excellent future opportunities, and involvement in some of the industry's most important infrastructure schemes.
Starting on a freelance basis at £500 per day, this role offers the added benefit of a strong likelihood of moving into a permanent position for the right person.
The Role
You will play a key role in developing accurate, competitive estimates for self-delivered civil engineering projects, working closely with operational teams to ensure projects are commercially viable and deliverable.
This is a hands-on estimating position suited to someone who enjoys getting involved at an early stage, visiting sites, understanding construction methodologies, and producing robust first-principles estimates.
Key Responsibilities
* Produce detailed first-principles estimates for civil engineering and water infrastructure projects.
* Undertake site visits to understand scope, buildability, constraints, and project requirements.
* Review drawings, specifications, and technical documentation to develop accurate pricing.
* Work collaboratively with delivery teams to ensure estimates reflect practical construction solutions.
* Support the business in securing future projects through high-quality commercial submissions.
About You
We are looking for an experienced estimator who can bring strong technical knowledge and commercial judgement to the team.
You will ideally have:
* Significant experience as a Civils Estimator within the construction industry.
* Proven experience pricing water infrastructure projects (essential).
* Around 15 years' experience within construction, with exposure to civil engineering and ideally some build background.
* Strong first-principles estimating capability.
* Confidence interpreting drawings, specifications, and construction requirements.
* A proactive approach with excellent attention to detail.
Why Apply?
* £500 per day freelance rate.
* Opportunity to secure a long-term position with a market-leading Tier One contractor.
* Work with an organisation that has an exceptional pipeline of future projects.
* Be part of a highly experienced team delivering nationally significant infrastructure works.
* Genuine career progression potential for the right individual.
This is a rare opportunity to join a respected contractor at an exciting stage of growth, offering both immediate earning potential and long-term career prospects
