Estimator / Senior Estimator Groundwork & RC Frame Contractor Hertfordshire £80,000 - £120,000 (depending on experience) + Benefits About the Company: This business is one of my top clients. Having worked with them for the past 15+ years, I have seen them develop in both size and capability over this time. They currently turnover above £100 million per annum, building concrete frame and groundwork packages ranging in value up to £40 million each for a variety of residential and commercial contractors and developers throughout London and the surrounding Home Counties. They have a very modern edge to the business while maintaining traditional roots, and are without doubt one of the best firms in this sector. Each of the directors are excellent in their own right, but what I love about this business is the harmony between them as a collective, as they work together towards the common goals, with no politics, no hot-headed individuals, and a real balance. Not every business has that, and you can feel that harmony when you spend time with any of them. On a personal note, I believe this company is one of the best not only for the projects they help complete but also because of the environment they create for the people who work there. They go that extra mile to not only retain their staff but to truly keep them happy to be with the business. Small things have been added to the office, like a gym that people have access to all day, with extra half an hour breaks given three times a week for anyone who wants to use it. They have a treatment room where massages and cosmetic treatments are available to everyone on Fridays, free of charge. And to top it all off, they have a rooftop garden and BBQ area for staff to use! I’d want to work here myself if I had the relevant experience in this role! They really are a great company to work for to gain great project experience, to develop capability in modern construction techniques and to be part of the values they believe in.

It is important that you have the knowledge of pricing and producing tenders for Concrete Frame and Groundwork packages in and around the South East and London to be considered. That is it. About the Salary / Remuneration: Due to the nature of this role, I am looking to target candidates currently earning anywhere from £80,000 to £120,000 per annum (self-employed options are available, as well as PAYE).
