* Prepare estimates and quotations for multi-utility works
* Review drawings, specifications, and scopes of work to produce accurate pricing
* Develop and adjust rates for labour, materials, and subcontractors
* Factor in key variables such as project location, programme, logistics, and scale
* Incorporate considerations such as traffic management, permits, notices, bonds, and site constraints
* Assess commercial risk and ensure projects are viable and profitable
* Support value engineering and propose cost-effective solutions to clients
* Present quotations in a way that supports competitive positioning
* Work closely with operations and commercial teams to ensure estimates align with delivery methods
Criteria of the Estimator:
* Previous experience in an estimating role within construction, utilities, or infrastructure
* Experience in at least one utility discipline such as electric, water, or gas
* Strong understanding of labour, materials, subcontractor pricing, and commercial principles

Why join?
This is an opportunity to join a business that values development, responsibility, and commercial thinking. You won't just be pricing work, you'll be part of a team shaping how projects are won and delivered, with the chance to grow your expertise across a diverse and evolving sector.
