Are you an experienced Civils Estimator looking for more ownership, progression, and the opportunity to play a key role in a growing business?

Lemon Drizzle Recruitment is working in partnership with a well-established and expanding Civils Contractor to recruit an experienced Senior Estimator to strengthen their growing pre-construction team in Wakefield.

This is an opportunity to take ownership of a growing and strategically important area of the business, leading tendering activity across water frameworks throughout Yorkshire and the North East. You’ll join a supportive team environment where your technical expertise will be valued, your input will shape project wins, and genuine progression opportunities are available as the business continues to expand.

The Role

As Senior Estimator, you’ll manage multiple civils and water framework enquiries from initial review through to submission, playing a key role in securing future work across a varied project portfolio.

Key responsibilities include:

• Managing multiple enquiries across water frameworks throughout Yorkshire and the North East

• Reviewing tender documents and assessing project scope, risks, and delivery requirements

• Producing accurate take-offs and bills of quantities

• Preparing competitive and commercially robust estimates using Estimate software

• Obtaining, reviewing, and negotiating subcontractor quotations

• Working closely with operational teams, supply chain partners, clients, and stakeholders

• Leading tender submissions and supporting successful project awards

About You

We are keen to speak with experienced estimators who have:

• Previous experience estimating within civil engineering projects, ideally within the water sector
• Strong knowledge of foul water, fresh water, and associated infrastructure projects
• Experience working across framework agreements and understanding of current market rates
• Strong technical ability with excellent commercial awareness
• Established supply chain relationships across Yorkshire (desirable but not essential)
• A proactive approach and the ability to manage multiple tenders within a fast-paced environment

Why Join?

Join a growing contractor with a strong pipeline of secured framework work
• Opportunity to take ownership of a key business area with real influence
• Clear progression opportunities within an expanding pre-construction team
• Competitive salary package depending on experience
• Car allowance or company car
• 24 days holiday plus bank holidays
• 5% employer pension contribution
• Health Shield plan
• Supportive and collaborative team culture

This is an excellent opportunity for an estimator who wants more than just pricing work - offering the chance to influence growth, develop your career, and become a key part of an ambitious business.
