- Engage with the supply chain to gather pricing, lead times, and innovations
- Contribute to tender strategies and value engineering discussions
- Maintain estimating systems and cost databases
Requirements
- Proven experience in estimating, ideally for infrastructure or utilities projects
- Strong knowledge of civil engineering works (water sector experience is advantageous)
- Proficient in estimating tools and Microsoft Excel
- Ability to work independently and communicate effectively with remote teams
- Familiarity with NEC contracts is desirable
What's on Offer
- Fully remote working (with the option to use Falmer office if desired)
- Competitive salary and benefits package
- High-profile, long-term project pipeline within AMP8
- Opportunity to work with a top-tier contractor on critical UK infrastructure
- Supportive and collaborative commercial team with a strong track record
If you're an experienced Estimator seeking flexibility without sacrificing the scale of work, this is a rare opportunity to contribute to some of the UK's most important infrastructure projects - all from the comfort of your home.
