Estimator

Long-Term Contract | Hybrid | Outside IR35 | £350-£500/day DOE

Are you an Estimator or Senior Estimator with real earthworks experience wanting to join a busy pre-construction team on a strong pipeline of highways projects.

You will be managing the tendering of projects - maximising tendered margin while identifying value engineering opportunities and successfully winning work.

What you'll do

·Actively tender projects received by the business
·Understand contractual terms and identify potential risks to the business
·Review all information received to understand the scope of works to be tendered
·Submit tenders on time and to the client's requirements
·Accurately measure relevant works to derive and validate quantities for pricing
·Build up tender rates from first principles on a labour, plant and material basis
·Identify value engineering opportunities to offer clients
·Obtain market rates for subcontracted works
·Respond to client queries in a timely manner
·Understand programme and buildability constraints within a tender
·Lead the handover of secured work, passing information to the delivery team
·Maintain client relationships and seek opportunities for new and continued work
·Provide support and advice to less experienced members of the team

What you'll bring

·Proven estimating experience on earthworks / highways schemes
·Confident cut-and-fill and mass-haul take-off
·Solid grasp of plant, muck-away and groundworks pricing
·Estimating software and strong Excel skills

Why this is a good opportunity:

·Outside IR35 - keep the full benefit of your rate
·£350-£500/day DOE - reflecting your specialism and seniority
·Hybrid working - office and home, structured around delivery
·Long-term security - a genuine pipeline, not a few weeks' cover

The freedom of contracting, the stability of a long term contract, and an outside-IR35 rate. A rare combination in this market.
