Mentored Estimator / Site Engineer Vacancy – Rail & Civils | East Midlands
Can you price a project but want to spend less time travelling and more time developing your career?
I’m working with a major rail and civils contractor that is looking to strengthen its commercial team with an experienced Estimator who understands project delivery and wants to take the next step into estimating.
The business has already secured a number of major contracts, diversified its client portfolio and has ambitious plans to grow by £70m over the next five years. Commercial capability is central to that growth strategy, making this an excellent time to join the team.
The Role
You’ll be responsible for producing accurate cost estimates, proposals, and competitive bids across a diverse range of rail and civils projects, typically ranging from £50k to £4m.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.

- De-vegetation

- Nailing and netting
- Walls and ancillary structures
