Estimator

About the company: Our privately owned client is a leading name within the enabling works industry with a group annual turnover in excess of £180M. They undertake technical civil engineering projects throughout the UK with values ranging up to £15M, and their services include civil infrastructure, demolition, remediation, earthworks, and concrete works. Their strong reputation for completing challenging projects has been built on delivery and trust. With a low staff turnover, this specialist subcontractor, which also operates as a principal contractor on the majority of their projects, rarely recruits and this opportunity has arisen purely due to company expansion. Having worked closely with this business for over 8 years, I would highly recommend them to professionals looking to join a forward-thinking contractor that can offer the opportunity to work on technical projects and strong career progression opportunities are available. About the opportunity: Due to continued growth and a healthy pipeline of work, my client is currently recruiting permanently for an experienced Estimator. You will report directly to the Director and will be responsible for putting together tenders, project costings and valuations for minor civils, infrastructure and remediation projects throughout the UK, valued up to £10M. Duties for this opportunity will include, but not be limited to, preparing tender submissions; producing bills of quantities and schedules for estimating programs; attending project visits; carrying out measuring and take-offs from drawings; attending pre- and post-contract meetings with clients and building up tender price from first principles based on plans, programme, and scope of works. About the requirements: In order to be considered for this opportunity, it is imperative that you have proven success of pricing minor civils, remediation and earthworks packages valued in excess of £5M in the UK, gained whilst working for a specialist subcontractor or main contractor. You must hold a construction industry degree or professional qualification, have a good understanding of NEC and JCT standard forms of contract and hold excellent IT skills. Furthermore, as this is a permanent opportunity, you must demonstrate stability of employment, holding each previous appointment for a minimum of 2 years. About the benefits and rewards: For this permanent opportunity, my client is targeting professionals looking to earn anywhere from £75,000 - £85,000 per annum; however, the specific salary will depend on experience and suitability. Furthermore, there will be a generous package offered. Lastly, due to the current team structure and a growing company, fantastic career progression opportunities will be available.
