Who we are and what we offer:

Interested in shaping skylines across the globe?

Multiplex is a premier construction company with a simple purpose: to construct a better future. As part of our team, you'll have the opportunity to help deliver some of the world's most iconic projects, supported by approachable leadership and an inclusive culture that puts our people first.

You will also have access to a range of holistic benefits including:

• Discretionary annual bonus, 8% company contribution pension, 25 days annual leave + holiday buy options.

Who we're looking for:

Our people are united by a common belief: that we can outperform in everything we do.

As an Estimator joining our Head Office Preconstruction team, you'll play an important part in developing accurate and well-supported estimates for our projects, from reviewing tender information through to preparing the final submission. You'll review drawings, specifications and tender documents, undertake measurement and pricing, issue subcontractor enquiries and compare returns. You'll also develop cost plans, preliminaries, clarifications and exclusions, while considering risks and opportunities throughout the estimating process.

You'll help develop coordinated tender submissions, maintaining accurate cost planning, benchmarking and historical information along the way. You'll support commercial reviews and approvals and provide information for handover following award, while working with clients, consultants, subcontractors and suppliers throughout the tender process.

To be successful, you'll bring strong estimating experience across complex construction projects and be confident managing tenders from initial review through to settlement. You'll have a solid grounding in first-principles pricing, measurement, cost planning and competitive subcontractor tendering, with an understanding of how programme, logistics and methodology influence cost. You'll be comfortable working across detailed single and two-stage tenders and bringing together the information needed to develop a considered and commercially sound submission.

A note on diversity:

Diversity is about celebrating the ways we are all different and appreciating the unique qualities that every employee brings. We invite applications from people of all genders, cultures and walks of life. Research shows that women and people from underrepresented groups are less like to apply for roles if they don't match every qualification. So even if you don't match all the criteria - if you are passionate about helping to construct a better future, we'd love to hear from you.

We are committed to providing a barrier-free work environment and can support with reasonable adjustments at any stage of the recruitment process. Simply inform our Talent Acquisition team during your conversation with them.
