This is a senior, hands-on estimating role where you’ll play a key part in shaping bid strategy, pricing competitively, and influencing commercial outcomes across complex groundworks, civils, drainage and landscaping schemes.
You’ll work closely with operational and commercial teams, with the autonomy to challenge designs, propose alternatives, and ensure bids are both commercially sound and deliverable.
What you’ll do:
- Preparing detailed and accurate tenders across groundworks, civils, drainage (including SuDS), and hard/soft landscaping
- Reviewing drawings, specifications and employer’s requirements to identify risks and opportunities
- Producing take-offs, cost plans, and final submissions to tight deadlines
- Liaising with suppliers, subcontractors, designers and internal teams to build robust bids
- Identifying alternative materials, methods and value engineering options
- Supporting bid strategy and pricing decisions to improve win rates and margins
- Using estimating and take-off software (e.g. On-Screen Take-off, Excel, Word)
What we’re looking for:
- Proven experience as a Senior Estimator or Estimator within:
Groundworks, Civils, Drainage / SuDS or Landscape construction
- Strong commercial awareness and understanding of construction contracts and risk
- Confident producing and owning tenders from start to finish
- Comfortable working autonomously while collaborating with wider teams
- Strong attention to detail with a practical, delivery-focused mindset
