Senior Estimator – Glasgow – Work for one of the best!

ABOUT THE COMPANY

With offices in Glasgow and London, this specialist contractor completes a variety of packages for top tier main contractors, develops, and private clients across the UK. With one of their divisions having early involvement at the enabling works stages carrying out remediation and demolition works, this business is then able to take projects through groundwork, basement, and foundations stages through to the construction of reinforced concrete frames and structures. Project values vary but average current package sizes range from £10m to £70m each, on a mixture of residential, mixed-use, industrial, infrastructure, and energy projects.

On a personal note I would add that I work very closely with this business not only because of their size and capability but also because of their vision, goals, and attitude towards the way they work. The owners and directors are all focused on not only being an option in the market, but on being the best specialist contractor in the UK. I have already seen them go from strength to strength over the past few years and now I am genuinely excited about the continued expansion of this brand and the journey that their staff are on. This is a business I would hold up against any other in this market, and that’s based on feedback from people I have placed there and known for decades.

ABOUT THE ROLE

Our client is looking to strengthen their existing preconstruction team by adding an experienced Senior Estimator to their ranks.

The opportunity will involve the usual duties such as putting together tenders for medium to large scale concrete frame and civil engineering packages in and around Scotland and the North West of England. Clients include main contractors and developers within the build and civil engineering markets. Usual package values you will be expected to target could range anywhere from £10 million up to £100 million each and some or all of the following duties will apply:

  • Preparation of tender submissions
  • Measuring and take-offs from drawings
  • Producing bills-of-quantities
  • Cost Planning
  • Pre and post Contract meetings with clients to sell not only the price but the reason they should pick your business over others too
  • Build-up of tender price from first principles based on plans, programme, and scope of works
  • This business uses Candy estimating software but training can be provided for those who have not used the system.

REQUIREMENTS

For this opportunity, I am looking for individuals who have previous experience working for RC / Concrete Frame, Groundwork, or Civil Engineering contractors in Scotland in an estimating capacity.

It is important you have the knowledge of pricing and producing tenders for these packages in and around Scotland to be considered.

That is it. I’m happy to talk to anyone who has the above.

REWARDS AND BENEFITS

Due to the nature of this opportunity, I am looking to target individuals currently earning anywhere from £75,000 to £100,000 per annum.

Salaries will be negotiable at the point of the interview depending on the level of experience you have gained.

With the basic salary, our client offers the usual package of car allowance, pension, bonuses, and similar on a PAYE basis.

Self-employed payment routes are also available for those that prefer that setup.

About Cityscape Recruitment

Cityscape Recruitment is not like any other construction recruitment agency. Our business does not have a sales-driven environment, instead, we reward quality over quantity.

We use our specialist industry knowledge to help introduce and guide construction professionals into companies that best suit their desired career aspirations and personal goals. From Quantity Surveyors to Site Managers to Civil Engineers, we work to the same objective of helping to enhance their careers.

And our relationships don’t end on day one of a new role – we pride ourselves on our ability to build long-lasting relationships with both clients and construction professionals. And we are fortunate enough to work with many leading construction companies and professionals in London and throughout the rest of the UK.

What our clients say

We have worked with Alex Wallace and the Cityscape Recruitment team for a number of years now and find their service excellent.

They supply well matched and vetted candidates and very quickly understood all our requirements. They have always demonstrated good market knowledge and an ability to deliver to our requirements.

Commercial Director,
Main Contractor

I have used Cityscape Recruitment multiple times over the last 5 years. Very pleasant to deal with and all candidates put forward for interview are well suited to the position and well vetted by the team, so there is no time wasted with unsuitable applicants. I would highly recommend Cityscape. I intend to use them again in the future should any vacancies become available.

Operations Director,
Platt and Reilly Ltd

The Cityscape Recruitment team has always been great to deal with. Always ready to listen to our needs and requirements, a quality some recruiters do not appreciate or have, then advising where they can assist in our staff procurement. We look forward to working with Laura and Cityscape in the coming years.

When you first contact us, be that through direct contact, responding to an advert or applying through our website, we will connect you with a consultant who works in your specialist area. 

Initially, they will arrange a meeting to talk through your CV and career history. They will encourage you to go into detail about your background and experiences, capabilities and responsibilities, personal circumstances and any other factors they feel are relevant to help them build up a well-rounded profile of you. 

We take extraordinary care in matching professionals to an opportunity – one that will help enhance their careers and a clients’ team. We therefore also use this meeting to empower you in your career. Using our extensive knowledge of the construction industry, we would provide in-depth overviews of businesses, projects and available roles, and guidance on where your strengths will add the most value and career potential. 

After this meeting, the consultant will speak to a number of their clients about you and your CV. Who they speak to can be either jointly agreed upon or you can trust the judgement and expertise of the consultant to contact clients they feel are the best fit for your experience and goals.

If any clients are interested in meeting with you, the consultant will manage the interview process, coaching you before any interviews if required. (Further guidance can be found here.)

If you are successful in receiving an offer(s), our consultant will communicate this with you and help to negotiate the offer(s) and any other terms of employment. 

Finally, we will support you in resigning from your current role, navigating potential counter offers and starting your new role.
