About the Opportunity
Our client is a leader in delivering multi-utility solutions across the UK, supporting clients in power, water, gas, and telecoms. As part of our continued growth, we are seeking an experienced Senior/Managing Estimator to play a pivotal role in pricing and securing complex utility projects.

This isn’t a “numbers-only” role. We are looking for someone who can bring real commercial acumen, particularly around principal contracts—a professional who can evaluate risk, challenge assumptions, and provide insight that drives profitability and protects the business.

• Lead the preparation of accurate and competitive tenders for multi-utility projects.

• Interpret principal contracts, ensuring commercial risks are identified, mitigated, and clearly communicated.

• Work closely with operational, commercial, and delivery teams to ensure estimates are robust and realistic.

• Negotiate with clients, suppliers, and subcontractors to deliver commercially viable outcomes.

• Contribute to business strategy by identifying opportunities for improvement in pricing, processes, and delivery.

What We’re Looking For

• Strong background in utilities estimating (power, water, gas, telecoms, or multi-utilities).

• Proven ability to interpret and work with principal contracts—not just numbers.

• Experience in a Senior Estimator or Managing Estimator role, ideally within a contractor or utility provider.

• Commercially sharp, able to balance risk, margin, and client needs.

• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills.

What’s on Offer

• Salary: £80,000 – £100,000+ depending on experience.

• Company car.

• 22 days annual leave + bank holidays.

• Pension scheme.

• Office-based in Kent with hybrid flexibility for the right candidate.

If you’re a commercially minded estimator with utilities expertise and want to take on a leadership role where your insights truly matter, we’d love to hear from you.
