With a strong and growing pipeline of projects across the UK, we are expanding our estimating department to support continued growth.
The Role
We are seeking an Estimator with a strong technical understanding of both electrical and civil engineering works. The successful candidate will prepare accurate, competitive quotations for EV charging infrastructure projects, covering everything from design through to final commissioning of the EV chargers.

Key Responsibilities
* Produce detailed quotations for EV charging infrastructure projects, covering both off-site ICP works (network connections, substations, HV/LV cabling) and on-site works (car park groundworks, ducting, foundations, surfacing, and reinstatement).
* Review drawings, specifications, and client briefs to develop accurate costings.
* Liaise with clients and suppliers to clarify scope and gather pricing.
* Ensure quotations are delivered on time and to a high standard of accuracy.
* Work closely with project managers and directors to provide smooth handover from tender to delivery.
* Maintain pricing databases and support the development of consistent estimating processes.
Skills & Experience
* Proven experience in estimating within electrical contracting, civil engineering, or utility infrastructure.
* Technical knowledge of HV/LV installations, trenching, ducting, reinstatement, and associated civils.
* Strong ability to interpret technical drawings and specifications.
* Good communication skills, with confidence in engaging clients and suppliers.
* Proactive, organised, and able to manage multiple tenders simultaneously.
* Comfortable working in a hybrid environment and using remote collaboration systems to manage projects and communication.
What We Offer
* Salary of £52,000 per annum.
* Hybrid working (Doncaster HQ, with flexibility for remote working).
* Involvement in high-profile EV charging projects nationwide.
* Career development opportunities as the estimating department expands.
* A supportive and ambitious working environment.

Application question(s):
* Have you previously produced estimates for EV charging or ICP projects (e.g. substations, feeder pillars, HV/LV cabling, or car park groundworks)? Please give details.
* Please describe your level of understanding of civil engineering works relevant to EV charging projects. For example, trenching, ducting, reinstatement, and surfacing. Can you give examples of projects where you have estimated these types of works?
* Please describe your level of understanding of electrical works relevant to EV charging projects. For example, HV/LV connections, substations, metering, and feeder pillars. Can you give examples of projects where you have estimated these types of works?
* Would you describe yourself as more electrically biased, civils biased, or balanced across both disciplines?
* When preparing costings, how confident are you in reading and interpreting utility drawings, site plans, and technical specifications? Please describe your approach to identifying key details (such as duct routes, service diversions, reinstatement requirements, or cable specifications), and give examples of projects where you successfully applied this skill.
* What experience do you have preparing cost breakdowns (materials, labour, plant, reinstatement) for both on-site and off-site works?
* Do you have experience factoring in street works requirements (e.g. permits, traffic management, NRSWA) into estimates?
* What is your approach to ensuring estimates remain competitive while still protecting project margins?
* Which systems, tools, or methods have you used to build, check, and present quotations?
* Can you give an example of a complex project you've estimated where both electrical and civil works were involved, and how you structured the costs?
