Minecon Recruitment is partnering with an established civil contractor to recruit two Civil Estimators at Intermediate and Senior level. With a growing precontracts team and a strong pipeline of technically challenging projects, these opportunities will suit estimators with direct experience pricing bulk earthworks, basement excavation, piling, retention systems, FRP and associated civil works.

This is not a traditional TMR road-infrastructure estimating position. We are looking for people who understand detailed civil construction packages, the methodologies behind them and the costs involved.

The Opportunities

- You will work alongside an experienced precontracts and project delivery team to prepare accurate, competitive tenders across complex civil construction projects.
- Review drawings, specifications and tender documentation to define scope and identify risks and opportunities.
- Prepare detailed quantity take-offs, estimates, pricing schedules and tender submissions.
- Estimate basement and bulk excavation, earthworks, piling, retention systems, FRP, drainage and roadworks packages.
- Assess labour, plant, materials and subcontractor quotations and develop practical construction methodologies.
- Liaise with suppliers, subcontractors,



project teams and clients to clarify scope and refine pricing.
- Use CostX estimating software to develop and manage estimates.
- Contribute to tender strategy, value engineering and handover to delivery teams.

What we are looking for

- Direct civil contractor estimating experience across relevant construction packages, particularly basement/bulk excavation, retention, piling and FRP.
- Sound understanding of construction sequencing, productivity, rates, drawings and specifications.
- Experience with CostX estimating software (highly regarded; proficiency requirements to be confirmed).
- Strong commercial judgement, attention to detail and communication skills.
- Intermediate: able to prepare estimates with support and looking to build broader tender ownership.
- Senior: demonstrated ability to lead complex tenders independently, challenge methodologies and guide pricing strategy.

Why Consider these Roles?

- Two positions available within a growing precontracts team.
- Diverse, technically challenging civil construction projects.
- Great opportunity to join an established contractor with a strong project pipeline.
- Competitive salary packages depending on experience and seniority.
