Estimator

Groundworks Estimator 

 Location: Derby | Salary: £60,000 – £70,000 + Package | Type: Full-time, Permanent

Looking for a new Estimating that will push you? Feel like your brain could do more than just churn out rates? Good. We’re not looking for average.

We’re looking for a Groundworks Estimator with steel in their spine and sharpness in their numbers. This isn’t a cosy desk job with copy-paste spreadsheets and rinse-repeat quoting. This is a hands-on, high-responsibility role with a team that actually builds what they price — and they do it right.

What’s the job?

– You’ll be pricing complex civil and groundworks packages across residential, commercial and infrastructure projects — sometimes with incomplete information, always with tight turnarounds, and never with your hand held. You’ll work closely with pre-construction, ops and directors to shape our pipeline and profitability.

Why this job stands out:

– You won’t be a cog in the machine. You’ll be a key player, directly influencing what we win and how we deliver.

– They build what they price. No disconnect between the estimator and the site – you’ll see your work become real.

– They invest in their people. Training, support, autonomy and a good working culture.

What we need from you:

– Proven experience pricing groundworks and civils projects (£500k to £10m+ ideally)

– Laser-focused attention to detail — nothing gets past you

– Confident using estimating software (we use [insert software if applicable])

– Ability to read drawings, spot risks and ask the questions others miss

– Cool head under pressure, thick skin when needed, and a team-first attitude

Bonus points if you:

– Have an engineering or site background (you “get” how things go together)

– Are known for pulling rabbits out of hats with your numbers

– Can hit the ground running from day one
