Why This Role?

This isn’t your typical estimating role. You’ll be part of a lean, high-energy team, working directly with the owner and pricing projects that actually get built. Whether it’s pipelines, piling, concrete structures, or council projects, you’ll be at the forefront of landing and winning contracts. It’s a fast-paced, high-stakes game – and if you’re someone who loves the challenge, knows how to optimise bids, and thrives on big wins.

Your Role

✅ Price first principles estimates for various civil infrastructure projects.
✅ Spot commercial angles others miss and strategies to win tenders.
✅ Lead end-to-end bid processes, from risk analysis to cost breakdowns.
Negotiate pre-contracts and liaise directly with clients.
Stay ahead of market trends to deliver competitive, high-margin bids.
✅ Confidently present tenders to senior management & clients.

What you need

  • 3–5+ years of civil estimating experience – 1st principles
  • Tech-savvy with strong commercial nous – You see opportunities where others don’t.
  • Background in roadworks, drainage, piling, retaining walls, or concrete works.
    Experience with council and TMR projects (a big plus!).
  • Comfortable juggling multiple tenders in a high-stakes environment.
  • Excellent communicator – You’ll be in front of key stakeholders.
  • Got site experience? Even better, but not a dealbreaker.
  • A natural problem-solver, dealmaker, and closer – You make things happen.
  • Qualifications: A civil engineering degree with contractor-side experience is preferred.
  • Soft Skills: Exceptional time management, negotiation, and communication abilities to manage multiple priorities effectively.

Why You’ll Love It Here

  • Get paid for your performance – Big wins = big rewards.
  • No red tape, no corporate fluff – Just results-driven estimating.
  • Join a growing company that’s making waves in the industry.
  • Work on a variety of projects – No two days are the same.
  • Your success = career progression – Prove yourself and move up.

This is your chance to step up, back yourself, and earn what you’re truly worth. Let's chat if you’re ready to make an impact and take control of your success!
