Estimator - Surfacing / Highways
Location: Flexible (Kent / South East projects)
Salary: £50,000 - £70,000 + Package (depending on experience)
The Opportunity
This isn't a box-ticking Estimator role.
This is for someone who understands how surfacing work is won, priced, and delivered - and wants to be part of a business where their input actually matters.
You'll be working closely with senior leadership on a range of surfacing and highways projects, taking ownership of tenders from initial enquiry through to submission.
If you're currently pricing work but feel stuck, under pressure, or lacking progression - this is worth a conversation.
What You'll Be Doing
Preparing accurate cost estimates for surfacing and highways projects
Reviewing drawings, specifications, and tender documentation
Pricing works across asphalt, civils, and associated packages
Liaising with suppliers and subcontractors for quotations
Supporting bid submissions and commercial strategy
Working alongside operations to ensure realistic and deliverable pricing
What They're Looking For
Experience in estimating within surfacing, highways, or civil engineering
OR a strong Quantity Surveyor with pricing/tendering exposure
Good understanding of asphalt / road construction projects
Ability to interpret drawings and technical documentation
Commercial awareness and attention to detail
Why This Role?
Clear progression route, not a dead-end estimating role
Less red tape than Tier 1 contractors
Opportunity to work on a variety of projects
A business where your work directly impacts success
The Reality
Good Estimators in this market aren't actively applying for jobs.
If you're even slightly open to hearing what's out there - it's worth a confidential conversation.
Apply / Enquire
Apply directly and suitable candidates will be messaged to arrange an informal and confidential conversation
