About The Role

We are looking to strengthen our Estimating team with a Estimator based at Peterborough with hybrid working available.

You will report directly to the Estimating Manager and as a member of a central Estimating Team you will support the delivery of multiple projects within Anglian Waters Integrated Main Works Framework. Operating under an outperformance contract model you will play a key role in challenging all aspects of construction costs including non-construction, risk, overheads, and record for audit via the delivery milestone process and affordability challenge.

Our main work scopes include pipelines, pumping stations, reservoirs, water, and waste-water treatment plants. You will provide estimates at various stages including optioneering, outline design and detailed design, which will typically include Civil, Mechanical, Electrical and Instrumentation / Control work scopes.

Key responsibilities will include:

• Provisions of Estimates

+ Provide CAPEX estimates appropriate to the stage of the project from high level comparative estimates for optioneering to detailed bottoms up estimates for development of Target Costs.
+ Work with multi discipline teams to understand and quantify scope.
+ Liaise with our supply chain to develop estimates for specific items of scope.
Estimating Systems
+ Review processes and identify best practice with systems.
+ Advise where efficiencies can be made.
Developing Cost Models
+ Develop cost models for digital delivery and standardisation.
+ Work with 3D computer models to understand and quantify the scope.
Maintaining Cost Base (Cost base submission and verification)
+ Add quotations to the estimating database.
+ Identify any inconsistencies between market quotations and our cost libraries.
+ Revise labour, plant and material resource libraries when requested to do so.
Commercial Team & Cost Capture
+ Work closely with Cost Managers to ensure a smooth transition from estimating into cost management.
+ Become familiar with the cost capture requirements of Anglian Water and in doing so ensure that estimates are coded and structured to meet these requirements.
