SENIOR ESTIMATOR – EARTHWORKS

Job Description

Tru Earthworks is seeking a talented and experienced Estimator to support our continued growth across earthworks and civil engineering projects.

This role is key to driving successful work-winning and ensuring robust, commercially sound submissions from the tender stage through to contract award and handover. You will be responsible for producing accurate, well-considered estimates and contributing to pre-construction strategy, ensuring the business's financial effectiveness and profitability.

We are open to experienced and senior candidates, including those with strong knowledge of estimating software and systems. Flexible working arrangements, including remote working, may be considered for the right individual.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

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.
