Your new company

An established and respected civil engineering contractor is looking to expand its commercial team with the addition of a Junior or Apprentice Estimator. The company is a key delivery partner on major water infrastructure frameworks across the North West, including long-term AMP programmes. With a strong pipeline of work and a commitment to developing early-career professionals, this is an excellent opportunity to join a forward-thinking business.

Your new role

• Assisting in the preparation of tender submissions and cost plans
• Gathering and analysing supplier and subcontractor quotations
• Supporting take-offs and quantity measurements from drawings
• Learning to use estimating software and internal systems
• Collaborating with project teams to understand scope and requirements

What you'll need to succeed

A keen interest in infrastructure and water projects, strong numeracy, and a proactive attitude will be key to success. Previous placement or internship experience in a commercial or estimating role would be beneficial but not essential.

What you'll get in return

• Structured training and development programme
• Competitive starting salary with regular reviews
• Support towards professional qualifications (e.g. RICS, CIOB)
• Opportunity to work on nationally significant water infrastructure projects
• Inclusive and supportive team culture
