Senior Estimator | Major Projects | Work Winning
I'm working with a leading Tier 1 infrastructure contractor that is looking to appoint an experienced Senior Estimator to join its growing Work Winning team.
This is a great opportunity for someone who wants to play a key role in pricing and securing major water and civil engineering projects, working on complex, high-value schemes across the UK.
You'll take a leading role in developing accurate, competitive and commercially robust estimates, working closely with pre-construction, engineering, commercial and operational teams to put together winning solutions.
The role
- Lead the preparation of estimates for major civil engineering and water projects
- Take ownership of pricing from early-stage opportunity through to tender submission
- Develop detailed and commercially robust estimates
- Review construction methodologies, build-ups, risks and opportunities
- Work closely with design, engineering, commercial and operational teams
- Lead and coordinate estimating activities across complex tenders
- Challenge assumptions and identify opportunities to improve competitiveness
- Support the development of winning strategies and value-engineered solutions
- Present estimates and pricing strategies to senior stakeholders
