Senior Estimator Rail Infrastructure, Drainage & Civils UK-wide (regular travel and site visits required) Permanent | Competitive salary + package

On behalf of a well-established principal contractor with a strong order book in the UK rail sector, we are seeking an experienced Senior Estimator to play a pivotal role in their continued growth.

The Opportunity You will take ownership of producing accurate, competitive and winning bids for civil engineering, drainage and multi-disciplinary rail projects typically ranging from £500k to £5m. Working collaboratively within bid teams, you will help shape tender strategy, identify commercial opportunities and risks, and deliver submissions that balance technical excellence with profitability.

What You'll Be Doing

  • Leading the preparation of detailed estimates following established in-house processes
  • Coordinating and mentoring junior members of the estimating team on larger bids
  • Engaging early with design, planning, commercial and operations colleagues to agree methodologies and build robust pricing
  • Highlighting opportunities, risks and key assumptions throughout the tender period
  • Presenting estimates confidently at internal settlement/adjudication meetings
  • Producing comprehensive handover documentation and providing post-award support to delivery teams
  • Contributing to business development by supplying indicative pricing and technical input

What They Are Looking For From You

  • Proven background in estimating for rail-related civils, drainage or utilities works
  • Demonstrable success on tenders up to £5m (ideally within a principal contractor environment)
  • Strong commercial or engineering qualifications; chartered/incorporated status (or working towards) would be advantageous
  • Advanced Excel skills and hands-on experience with industry-recognised estimating packages
  • Excellent analytical, written and verbal communication abilities comfortable presenting at senior level to both internal stakeholders and clients
  • In-depth knowledge of current rail standards, construction techniques and temporary works requirements
  • Full UK driving licence and willingness to travel extensively for site visits and client meetings

This is a high-impact position within a supportive and forward-thinking business that places real emphasis on staff development and work-winning culture.

If you have the required expertise and are ready to take the next step in your estimating career, please submit your CV in confidence. Early applications are encouraged as our client is looking to move quickly for the right individual.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
