• Analyse groundworks, drainage, foundations, trenching, road construction and other civils scopes relevant to utility‑scale energy sites.
• Prepare tender submissions, budgets, BOQs and cost breakdowns.
• Contribute to risk assessments, programme planning and cost‑control processes.

Experience Required

• Background in estimating within civils, solar, utilities, or infrastructure.
• Strong understanding of construction drawings, specifications and technical documentation.
• Ability to work across multidisciplinary teams including engineering, procurement and construction.
• Competent with estimating software, Excel and cost‑modelling tools.
• Strong commercial awareness and attention to detail.
