Estaimtor / Senior Estimator

Earthworks & Remediation Estimator

Leeds

£50,000 - £70,000 + Car Allowance + Bonus + Package

If you're an Estimator who understands earthworks and remediation rather than simply pricing from a bill of quantities, this could be worth a look.

I'm working with a growing and ambitious contractor that has built an excellent reputation delivering earthworks, remediation, enabling works and infrastructure projects across Yorkshire and the wider UK.

As their workload continues to grow, they're looking to appoint an Estimator who can bring both technical understanding and commercial awareness to the pre-construction team. This isn't a role where you'll be sat in isolation pricing tenders. You'll be working closely with operational teams, planners, engineers and directors to develop winning solutions and commercially robust submissions.

The business is involved in a wide range of projects including bulk earthworks, site preparation, remediation, cut and fill operations, soil stabilisation, brownfield regeneration and infrastructure schemes. As a result, they're keen to speak with candidates who understand the practical realities of delivering these types of projects on site.

The Role

You'll play a key role in securing future work by preparing accurate and competitive tenders while identifying opportunities to add value and reduce risk.

Responsibilities will include:

Preparing estimates and tender submissions for earthworks, remediation and enabling works projects
Reviewing drawings, specifications, site investigation reports and tender documentation
Assessing excavation, disposal, import and material movement requirements
Liaising with suppliers, subcontractors and operational teams to obtain competitive quotations
Identifying commercial risks and opportunities within tender submissions
Supporting value engineering and alternative construction methodologies
Attending pre-tender meetings and occasional site visits
Working closely with senior management during tender adjudications
Assisting with handovers to delivery teams following successful contract awardsWe're keen to speak with Estimators, Senior Estimators or Quantity Surveyors with estimating experience within civil engineering.

You'll ideally have experience of:

Earthworks, remediation, enabling works or infrastructure projects
Bulk excavation and material management
Civil engineering estimating and tendering processes
Interpreting technical information including drawings and site investigation reports
Building rates from first principles
Working collaboratively with operational and commercial teamsMost importantly, they're looking for someone who understands how projects are delivered on site and can use that knowledge to produce commercially competitive bids.

What makes this role a bit different

The business has ambitious growth plans and a strong reputation within the civil engineering sector. You'll be joining a team where your input will be valued, where you'll have direct access to decision makers and where you'll play a genuine role in shaping future project success.

This is an excellent opportunity for an Estimator looking to specialise further within earthworks and remediation or for an experienced individual seeking greater responsibility within a growing contractor.
