Bristol
The investment by the UK government into the rail network continues to increase and opportunities with our client come with that investment. If you are an Estimator from a rail, civils or construction background looking for a new and exciting opportunity in a thriving billion-pound organisation with a healthy pipeline of projects coupled with an outstanding tender success ratio, then this will be for you!
The Role
The variety in this role is endless! Working mainly on long term framework agreements that can have anywhere up to 60 live jobs across the Southern part of the UK running concurrently.
The works mainly consist of building repair works, platform resurfacings, signal box refurbishments, canopy repairs and Mechanical and Electrical jobs including lighting.
This role will be on a high volume, low value framework which will require you to actively overcome challenges. As the work is high volume there will be an expectation to complete assigned tasks competently, but at speed.
The work is largely civil engineering including grit lasting, bridges and platform refurbishments and some building works. The building element is likely to include things such as level crossing repairs as well as other minor works.
You will need to take instruction from the commercial team and their assistants and create accurate cost value reports for the senior commercial team and the end client.
The company:
One of the UK’s largest Tier 1 contractors in the Rail Industry is experiencing a period of huge growth after being awarded several key contracts in UK. Due to winning these bids they need to grow the team to keep up with demand (which is in no short supply!), offering job security and stability. They carry out contracts directly for Network Rail and other train operators across the UK and have a wide variety of Rail infrastructure projects they are working on including building refurbishments, Mechanical and Electrical, Structure remediations, Earthworks and planned maintenance.
They also invest heavily in the future of the business, whether it is on professional qualifications (for example encouraging their team to achieve chartered status) and have a Gold Award for “Investors in People which is testament to how seriously they take their role as a major UK employer. They want to process the correct candidate from Quantity surveyor as soon as realistically possible. The opportunities from there are to the n go on to become a Senior QS and/or Chartership.
Renumeration:
Basic salary is subject to experience and is accompanied with generous holiday entitlement of 26 days plus bank holidays. They will also provide funding and support training and development and offer full support in candidates that express the appetite to progress.
There is the opportunity for you to take either a company vehicle or a vehicle allowance as well as 5% pension contributions within the package being offered. Agile/Hybrid/Flexible working is also available, but you will also need to maintain a presence within the office.
About you:
An Assistant Quantity Surveyor who can demonstrate capability in working to targets and deadlines as well as overcoming challenges will thrive in this environment. A qualification in Quantity Surveying is desired but they are also open to applicants who have ‘learned on the job’ and can demonstrate a strong commercial acumen.
If you have worked in a fast-paced industry such as rail maintenance, building maintenance or facilities management I would love to hear from you!
You will also require a full and clean UK driving license.
Next Steps
Do you a background in Facilities Management, Building Maintenance or Rail as an Assistant Surveyor? Are you ambitious and adaptable at what you turn your hand to? If this sounds like it could be you, please email me or call (phone number removed) for your chance to move or advance into the UK’s most thriving infrastructure sector.

Our client is a long-established and multi-award winning main contractor with regional offices throughout the UK. Privately owned and renowned for its innovation and commitment to delivery on time and on budget, they specialise in new build and refurbishment projects within the Commercial, Education, Healthcare and Leisure sectors, ranging from £5m to £40m+ in value.
The role of the Assistant Building Services Engineer will be to plan, implement and oversee the delivery of the M&E install playing an active role from pre-construction through to handover working on several projects at any one time. Working alongside senior engineers, support and training will be given in order to progress to a Building Services Engineer overseeing the M&E planning and installation on projects independently.
Responsibilities during the pre-construction phase will include:
• Working as part of the bid team, critiquing and influencing designs
• Working with and managing the M&E consultants and sub-contractors to ensure deliverables are met within the bid period
• Completing the tender book process, including verifying values and carrying out reconciliations from the tender returns from our supply chain
• Attending tender interviews
• Acting as the conduit between the bid team and the selected sub-contractor(s), attending client and design team meetings to ensure that all key deliverables are acknowledged at an early stage before the project goes to site
Once projects start on site responsibilities through weekly / fortnightly site visits will include:
• Providing technical support to the site delivery team
• Attending project meetings with the client and their professional team and sub-contractors
• Carrying out regular quality assurance appraisals
• Reporting on progress by completing standard site reports and management documents
This role is weighted more towards pre-construction than project delivery and involves working on multiple projects at the same time so your time will be split between their regional office in Surrey and sites across the southern Home Counties. The ideal candidate is likely to have experience working on relevant projects either as a Mechanical / Electrical Supervisor, Site Manager, Project Engineer or Estimator for an M&E contractor
