ATTENTION SITE AGENTS / ENGINEERS – Fed up working on site?
Civils company is offering a new challenge in the office with hybrid 'working from home' conditions in Glasgow.
My client, who is a well-established civils business in Glasgow, is looking for an Estimator…
With the shortage of estimators in the civil engineering marketplace in Scotland, and the fact that the company's Senior Estimator was a site-based engineer early in his career, working his way up through the estimating department – this would be the perfect role for a site-based engineer/agent that wants to get out of the daily 'grind' of being on site and into the warmer – more comfortable environment of the office – with working from home options available as well..

• Reviewing both successful and unsuccessful bids to determine any lessons to be learnt, including conducting formal reviews when appropriate
• Sub-contract procurement, ensuring maximum value for money
• Review of current estimating templates and terms and conditions
All you need to have is:-
• Civil engineering 'on-site' experience
• A willingness to develop your career in an office/home-based professional environment
• IT literacy (MS packages)
• Fluency in spoken and written English
• Eligibility to work in the UK
• Excellent organisational skills

• 5 sick days annually at full pay
• Volunteering leave (1 day annually)
• Enhanced maternity package (12 weeks full pay if 2 years continuous service)
