Civils Estimator

Civils Estimator | West Yorkshire | £55k – £70k + Package

Looking for an Estimating role where you'll have a genuine say in which projects the business goes after and how they're won?

We're recruiting for an established and growing regional contractor looking to strengthen their pre-construction team with an experienced Civils Estimator.

With a strong pipeline of work across Yorkshire and the wider region, you'll be pricing a varied mix of civil engineering, infrastructure, highways, drainage, groundworks and industrial projects – rather than being tied to one type of scheme.

This isn't a role where you'll simply be producing take-offs. You'll have ownership of tenders from initial enquiry through to submission, working closely with the commercial and operational teams to put together competitive, commercially sound bids.

The Role;

• Take ownership of civil engineering tenders from enquiry through to submission
• Prepare detailed estimates, cost plans and tender submissions
• Review drawings, specifications and contract documentation
• Complete take-offs and identify key risks and opportunities
• Obtain, analyse and negotiate subcontractor and supplier quotations
• Develop competitive pricing and tender strategies
• Work closely with operational and commercial teams to ensure bids are deliverable
• Support tender handovers following successful awards

What We're Looking For;

• Estimating experience within civil engineering, infrastructure, highways or groundworks
• Comfortable managing your own tenders and working to deadlines
• Good understanding of construction methods, costs and the civil engineering supply chain
• Strong commercial awareness
• Confident dealing with subcontractors, suppliers and internal teams
• Experience with estimating software and Microsoft Office

Why Consider It?

• Established contractor with a strong regional reputation
• Healthy pipeline and varied project portfolio
• Genuine involvement in tender strategy and project selection
• Opportunity to take ownership rather than simply support a larger estimating team
• Long-term position with scope to develop as the business continues to grow

This could suit an experienced Estimator looking for more responsibility, or someone already operating at Senior Estimator level who wants to join a business where they can have a real influence on the work being secured.
