Job description

VolkerFitzpatrick offers a range and depth of civil engineering, infrastructure and building services. We contribute to vital parts of the nation's life through projects of strategic importance, while delivering those less visible, yet essential, works required by both private and public sectors. We build, renew, maintain highways, airports, railway infrastructure, and commercial, industrial and educational buildings.

VolkerEnergy delivers the full range of civil engineering works and services to facilitate EHV cable installation for electricity transmission projects, including direct delivery of landfall and onshore horizontal directional drilling (HDD). This encompasses EPC cable systems projects for transmission owners, such as National Grid, as well as the upgrades required to support the anticipated growth in offshore wind, reinforcing the network away from carbon intensive generation hubs to sources of green electricity. For private offshore wind and interconnector developers we provide a comparable service, delivering civil engineering works associated with onshore EHV cable routes, including landfall and onshore HDD.

We are seeking an experienced Senior Estimator to join our growing VolkerEnergy team. This is a fantastic opportunity to contribute to major energy infrastructure projects and help shape the future of sustainable power in the UK. The role can be based flexibly from any of our offices in London, Preston, or Hoddesdon.
