Job Description

Some estimating roles keep you tied to a desk, buried in spreadsheets and cut off from the bigger picture.

This isn’t one of them.

This is an opportunity to join a growing Scottish civil engineering and renewables contractor where estimating is genuinely valued — not just as a function, but as a key part of how the business wins, grows, and decides where it goes next.

You’ll be working closely with the business owner & operational leaders on tenders across general civil engineering infrastructure, renewables, and public sector frameworks. The pipeline is strong, the projects are varied, and your input will directly influence what the business takes on.

But what really sets this apart is how you’ll work.

There’s real flexibility built into the role. You won’t be expected to sit in an office five days a week. You’ll have the freedom to work from home, manage your own time, and focus on output rather than presenteeism. It’s a setup designed for someone who knows what they’re doing and just wants the space to get on with it.

You’ll take ownership of the estimating process from initial enquiry through to submission, working on a mix of civil engineering and renewables projects. Some will be straightforward, others more complex — all of them giving you the chance to apply both technical and commercial thinking.

You’ll:

Prepare accurate and competitive cost estimates across a range of civil and infrastructure schemes
Review drawings, specifications, and tender documents to build a clear commercial picture
Liaise with suppliers and subcontractors to obtain competitive quotations
Work closely with operational teams to ensure buildability and risk are properly considered
Support bid submissions and contribute to winning work, not just pricing it

To apply, you’ll likely already be working as an Estimator or Senior Estimator within civil engineering, infrastructure, or a related sector.

More importantly, you’ll be someone who:

Is comfortable working independently and managing your own workload
Understands the commercial side of projects, not just the numbers
Takes pride in producing work that stands up to scrutiny
Enjoys being part of a growing business where your voice is heard

Why It’s Worth a Conversation

This isn’t about ticking boxes — it’s about finding someone who wants a bit more freedom and trust in how they work.

Flexible, hybrid working with genuine home-based options
A growing business with secured frameworks and a strong pipeline
Varied, interesting projects across multiple sectors
The chance to influence which work the business pursues
A team environment where you’re treated like a professional, not micromanaged

If you’re at the stage where flexibility, autonomy, and interesting work matter just as much as salary, this is worth exploring.
