Estimator

Estimator – Surfacing / Highways Location: Flexible (Kent / South East projects) Salary: £50,000 – £70,000 + Package (depending on experience) The Opportunity This isn't a box-ticking Estimator role. This is for someone who understands how surfacing work is won, priced, and delivered - and wants to be part of a business where their input actually matters. You'll be working closely with senior leadership on a range of surfacing and highways projects, taking ownership of tenders from initial enquiry through to submission. If you're currently pricing work but feel stuck, under pressure, or lacking progression - this is worth a conversation. What You'll Be Doing * Preparing accurate cost estimates for surfacing and highways projects * Reviewing drawings, specifications, and tender documentation * Pricing works across asphalt, civils, and associated packages * Liaising with suppliers and subcontractors for quotations * Supporting bid submissions and commercial strategy * Working alongside operations to ensure realistic and deliverable pricing What They're Looking For * Experience in estimating within surfacing, highways, or civil engineering * OR a strong Quantity Surveyor with pricing/tendering exposure * Good understanding of asphalt / road construction projects * Ability to interpret drawings and technical documentation * Commercial awareness and attention to detail Why This Role? * Clear progression route, not a dead-end estimating role * Less red tape than Tier 1 contractors * Opportunity to work on a variety of projects * A business where your work directly impacts success The Reality Good Estimators in this market aren't actively applying for jobs. If you're even slightly open to hearing what's out there - it's worth a confidential conversation. Apply / Enquire * Apply directly and suitable candidates will be messaged to arrange an informal and confidential conversation
