Job description

A leading Tier 1 contractor delivering major infrastructure works under the AMP8 water framework is looking to appoint an experienced Estimator to join their growing pre-construction team. This is a fully remote role, offering true flexibility while contributing to high-profile, long-term water infrastructure projects across the UK.

While the contractor has a regional hub in Falmer, attendance is entirely optional - ideal for experienced estimators seeking a work-from-home opportunity without compromising on the scale or prestige of projects.

About the Role of Estimator
As an Estimator, you'll play a key role in pricing major infrastructure schemes as part of the AMP8 programme. You'll work closely with bid managers, planners, and operational leads to produce accurate, competitive, and well-considered tenders. Projects typically span complex water treatment facilities, pipelines, and associated civils works up to £50m+ in value.

Key Responsibilities

• Prepare accurate cost estimates for large-scale water infrastructure projects
• Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams across the bid lifecycle
• Engage with the supply chain to gather pricing, lead times, and innovations
• Contribute to tender strategies and value engineering discussions
• Maintain estimating systems and cost databases

Requirements

• Proven experience in estimating, ideally for infrastructure or utilities projects
• Strong knowledge of civil engineering works (water sector experience is advantageous)
• Proficient in estimating tools and Microsoft Excel
• Ability to work independently and communicate effectively with remote teams
• Familiarity with NEC contracts is desirable

What's on Offer

• Fully remote working (with the option to use Falmer office if desired)
• Competitive salary and benefits package
• High-profile, long-term project pipeline within AMP8
• Opportunity to work with a top-tier contractor on critical UK infrastructure
• Supportive and collaborative commercial team with a strong track record

If you're an experienced Estimator seeking flexibility without sacrificing the scale of work, this is a rare opportunity to contribute to some of the UK's most important infrastructure projects - all from the comfort of your home.
