Estimator in Manchester, Manchester, Greater Manchester, England, United Kingdom
Estimator – Civil Engineering
A fantastic opportunity for an Estimator to join a rapidly growing highways contractor, stepping in to a Senior role or even for a Senior Estimator to take the reins!
Location: Manchester
THE COMPANY
My client are market leaders within the highways civil engineering sector, having renowned success across a variety of schemes with UK-wide coverage. They are part of a wider construction company with a group turnover just shy of £1billion, with their civils division in the UK growing at a phenomenal rate. In recent years, they have seen a phenomenal growth following success on several highways frameworks and major schemes up to £50m.
As part of their strategy to achieve 40% growth within the next few years, they are now seeking an Estimator to join the highways division of their Civil Engineering business.
ABOUT THE JOB
You will be a fundamental part of the business in achieving their targets as they have identified that their growth all sits on developing the estimating function. The highways schemes you will be involved with will be largely focussed on build rather than maintenance, tendering for projects upwards of £5m, with a UK-wide operation. You will be expected to occasionally go out to site to scope out the works but will largely be based in their plush office in Manchester.
You will be a successful Estimator in this role if you have a strong technical capability in your tenders. If you can analyse a drawing, assessing the buildability and providing alternatives to reduce contractor cost whilst keeping the quality of the project – or even improving it – then you will soar through the rankings in this business. However, if you prefer to put prices together from liaising with the supply chain, this role isn’t for you.
IDEAL CANDIDATE
So, now you know what to expect, I bet you’re wondering what would make you the Estimator I’m looking for? As a business they produce estimates from first principles, so you must have experience of this method. As the work is largely within highways, you will need to have experience working on highways build tenders, but if you have a mixture of civils sector experience such as structures or utilities, I still want to hear from you!
The most important thing with my client is culture fit – they pride themselves as a company who invest in their employees and have a low turnover of staff, and they want to keep it this way! This is a genuinely fantastic opportunity to grow and develop a career as they strive to achieve their company targets.
EXPERIENCE REQUIRED
To be considered for this Estimator role, you must have some experience of the highways sector as an Estimator looking for more autonomy, or already a Senior Estimator seeking a new challenge. You will also need a minimum of HNC in either Civil Engineering or a Commercial subject.
My client is open on experience as it’s all about getting the right person in – so if you think you’re up to the task and can slot into the team swiftly, you could just be what they’re looking for.
PACKAGE
My client is offering a top-notch Estimator a generous salary upwards of £50k, plus package including car/car allowance, pension and holidays.
