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.

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.
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
- 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 awards
Requirements
We're keen to speak with Estimators, Senior Estimators or Quantity Surveyors with estimating experience within civil engineering.
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
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 teams
Most 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.
