Every successful construction project starts long before the first machine arrives on site. It starts with accurate pricing, strong commercial awareness, and someone who understands the realities of civils and groundworks from the ground up.
We’re working with a growing construction contractor in Lincoln that is looking to bring in an experienced Civils / Groundworks Estimator to support a strong pipeline of upcoming work across infrastructure, groundworks, and civil engineering projects throughout the UK.
This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys the challenge of tendering, analysing project costs, and being heavily involved in the early stages of major construction works.
What You’ll Be Doing
* Preparing accurate cost estimates and tender submissions for civils and groundworks projects
* Reviewing drawings, specifications, and tender documentation in detail
* Completing take-offs and measuring quantities
* Liaising with subcontractors and suppliers to obtain competitive quotations
* Identifying potential risks, cost-saving opportunities, and value engineering options
* Working closely with commercial and operational teams throughout the tender process
* Supporting project handovers once contracts are secured
* Managing multiple tenders while working to deadlines
What We’re Looking For
* Previous experience working as an Estimator within civils, groundworks, or construction
* Strong knowledge of drainage, foundations, roads, infrastructure, and earthworks
* Ability to read and interpret technical drawings and specifications
* Strong commercial awareness and attention to detail
* Good communication and organisational skills
* Experience using estimating software and Microsoft Office
* Full UK Driving Licence
What’s In It For You?
* £50,000 – £60,000 salary depending on experience
* Permanent, full-time opportunity with long-term stability
* Opportunity to join a growing contractor with a healthy project pipeline
* Varied workload across multiple civils and groundwork schemes
* Supportive team environment with progression opportunities
* Chance to play a key role in the continued growth of the business
*
