The Opportunity

As Lead Estimator, you will take ownership of the estimating process across a broad range of civil engineering, highways and maintenance opportunities. Working closely with operational, commercial and bid teams, you will develop robust cost estimates, target costs and pricing strategies that accurately reflect project scope, opportunities and risks.

You will provide leadership throughout the tendering process, ensuring estimates are accurate, competitive and aligned with our delivery strategy. Your expertise will be instrumental in helping Octavius secure and successfully deliver projects ranging from emergency response works and maintenance activities through to complex civil engineering and public realm schemes.

Essential Experience

Proven experience producing estimates from first principles for civil engineering, highways, maintenance or infrastructure projects.
Strong understanding of civil engineering construction techniques, methodologies and associated costs.
Experience preparing Bills of Quantities and working with recognised Methods of Measurement.
Detailed knowledge of labour, plant, material and subcontractor resources and how these influence overall project costs.
Strong understanding of risk management and its impact on project pricing and cost certainty.
Ability to prepare detailed cost estimates, quantity take-offs and activity schedules.
Proficient with estimating software and Microsoft Office applications.

Personal Attributes

A collaborative and influential leader who can bring teams together to achieve shared goals.
Strong commercial awareness and attention to detail.
Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills.
Confident presenting solutions and recommendations to senior leadership teams.
Proactive, accountable and committed to delivering high-quality outcomes.
