Senior Estimators/Estimators – would you like to have your cake and eat it?

Senior Estimators/Estimators – would you like to have your cake and eat it?

Sexy complex projects are often the most interesting, they’re the reason people get into the civil engineering industry in the first place…

And they look great on CVs…

But often the contractors who deliver them are process heavy and lose the personal touch with their staff…

SME contractors on the other hand may have that ‘family-feel’ but probably won’t get those big sexy projects…

So there’s the trade off…big jobs or the personal touch…take your pick…

But what if you could have both…

Senior Estimators and Estimators how would you like to price flagship major projects…

Think – your CV is now in full black tie mode! And fully future-proofed opening up plenty of options down the line…

AND

You’ll work in an environment where performance is really recognised – think bonuses that reflect your effort and a workplace where the Directors and senior management know everyone’s names and take a real interest in their careers and personal development.

Still with me…

We’re looking for a Senior Estimator/Estimator to price for a large scale civils projects on HS2 you’ll work autonomously taking full responsibility for the tender including:

Pricing tenders analytically from ‘first principles’

Supporting the bid team with information for tender submissions

Managing a Junior Estimator

You’ll have a background working with a recognised civils contractor in a similar role.

Our client has a longstanding track record and pedigree delivering civils and infrastructure schemes in highways, water and utilities.

They’re non-adversarial in the way they work – 80% of their work is repeat business and they’re cash-rich and profitable and therefore can afford to take a long term view in commercial situations.

We know how that pressure can translate for an Estimator when the cash position isn’t good – you’ll be ‘sharpening your pencil’ and under pressure to slash value and items in your price…

That won’t be the case here…so you’ll be tendering properly, selectively and able to take a long term view.

They offer recognititon, flexibility (you’ll be able to work from home 1 day a week – once trust has been built), scope to progress, an unusually generous benefits package and of course that chance to work on big projects in a family-feel business.

A tier one and a half if you like…

If this strikes a chord for you – get in touch – and let’s have a chat. Don’t worry if you haven’t got an up-to-date CV to hand – it’s not important for now.
