A growing Independent Connection Provider is looking for a Senior Estimator to take ownership of their bidding processes as they look to bring this in house, and progress into a Head of Pre-Construction position as they develop.
Until now, all tendering and pricing has been handled externally. The business is looking to take that knowledge, control and capability internally.
You’ll be setting the standard for how bids are built, costed and submitted across a pipeline of 33kV–132kV projects. You’ll have full visibility of the commercial and technical side of schemes and will work closely with engineering and delivery teams from the outset.
This isn’t a role where you inherit a system and maintain it. You’ll be building the approach, tools and processes, and then shaping a team around you as the department grows.
What you’ll be doing
* Taking full responsibility for estimating and tendering activity
* Producing accurate estimates for HV new connection projects (33kV–132kV)
* Reviewing designs, specifications and client requirements
* Developing cost models, pricing structures and internal benchmarks
* Working alongside engineering, commercial and delivery teams to refine submissions
* Liaising with DNOs/IDNOs and other stakeholders where required
* Putting in place clear estimating processes, governance and documentation
* Supporting wider commercial decision-making and bid strategy
What they’re looking for
* Background in estimating with an ICP
* Strong working knowledge of 33kV–132kV networks (11kV experience also useful)
* Comfortable building estimates from first principles and owning submissions end-to-end
* Commercial awareness and the ability to assess risk and programme implications
* Someone who’s happy to take the lead and build something rather than step into a fixed structure
As the company continues to grow, this role is expected to develop into a Head of Pre-Construction position, with responsibility for team development and bid strategy.
