Role Overview:

As an Estimator, you will be responsible for producing competitive and accurate estimates for piling and ground engineering works. This includes working closely with the pre-construction and operations teams, analysing tender documentation, developing pricing strategies, and helping secure new projects.

Key Responsibilities:

• Prepare accurate and competitive cost estimates for piling and ground engineering projects (e.g., CFA, rotary bored, driven piles).

• Analyse drawings, specifications, and other documentation to prepare comprehensive cost estimates.

• Liaise with clients, suppliers, subcontractors, and internal stakeholders to clarify scope and ensure complete and compliant tender submissions.

• Assist in value engineering and alternative proposals to optimise solutions for clients.

• Participate in pre- and post-tender meetings, including handovers to project delivery teams.

• Maintain up-to-date knowledge of market rates, construction methods, and innovations in piling techniques.

• Track tender progress, bid outcomes, and maintain estimating records and databases.

Requirements:

• Proven experience as an estimator in the construction or civil engineering industry, with a focus on piling or groundworks.

• Strong understanding of various piling techniques (e.g., CFA, rotary bored, contiguous walls, secant walls).

• Familiarity with estimating software and Microsoft Office (Excel, Word, etc.).

• Excellent analytical and numerical skills, with attention to detail.

• Strong communication and interpersonal skills.

• Ability to work independently and as part of a team under tight deadlines.

Desirable:

• HNC/HND or degree in Civil Engineering, Construction Management, or related discipline.

• Knowledge of NEC and JCT contracts.

• CSCS Card.
