Estimator

Job Posted: 20 days ago

Salary: £ 50,000 - 70,000 / Annum
Job Type: Permanent
Location: Gillingham, Medway

Expire in: 7 days

Job Description

Estimator – Surfacing / Highways

Location: Flexible (Kent / South East projects)

Salary: £50,000 – £70,000 + Package (depending on experience)

The Opportunity

This isn't a box-ticking Estimator role.

This is for someone who understands how surfacing work is won, priced, and delivered - and wants to be part of a business where their input actually matters.

You'll be working closely with senior leadership on a range of surfacing and highways projects, taking ownership of tenders from initial enquiry through to submission.

If you're currently pricing work but feel stuck, under pressure, or lacking progression - this is worth a conversation.

What You'll Be Doing

  * Preparing accurate cost estimates for surfacing and highways projects

  * Reviewing drawings, specifications, and tender documentation

  * Pricing works across asphalt, civils, and associated packages

  * Liaising with suppliers and subcontractors for quotations

  * Supporting bid submissions and commercial strategy

  * Working alongside operations to ensure realistic and deliverable pricing

What They're Looking For

  * Experience in estimating within surfacing, highways, or civil engineering

  * OR a strong Quantity Surveyor with pricing/tendering exposure

  * Good understanding of asphalt / road construction projects

  * Ability to interpret drawings and technical documentation

  * Commercial awareness and attention to detail

Why This Role?

  * Clear progression route, not a dead-end estimating role

  * Less red tape than Tier 1 contractors

  * Opportunity to work on a variety of projects

  * A business where your work directly impacts success

The Reality

Good Estimators in this market aren't actively applying for jobs.

If you're even slightly open to hearing what's out there - it's worth a confidential conversation.

Apply / Enquire

  * Apply directly and suitable candidates will be messaged to arrange an informal and confidential conversation
