Job description

I have been asked to find an Estimator to work with my client based near Leeds.

This opportunity would suit an experienced candidate with a proven track record in tendering and winning work- both in terms of estimating and contacts.

My client is a specialist contractor providing services in bulk earthworks, groundworks and associated Civil Engineering works- this is in both the residential and commercial sectors.

They work on projects in Yorkshire and the North of England.

The salary banding is fairly wide and is dependent on relevant experience. there is also plenty of room for negotiation if required to secure the right candidate for this opportunity. This could be anywhere between 65-95k plus package or equivalent daily rate if preferred.

Furthermore, it would be beneficial if you can price from 'first principle'- building up your own rates etc to formulate the tender.
