About the requirements: In order to be considered for this opportunity, it is imperative that you have proven success of pricing minor civils, remediation and earthworks packages valued in excess of 5M in the UK, gained whilst working for a specialist subcontractor or main contractor. You must hold a construction industry degree or professional qualification, have a good understanding of NEC and JCT standard forms of contract and hold excellent IT skills.

About the Requirements:
The requirements for these opportunities are fairly straight forward;
I am looking for individuals who have previous experience working for a RC / Concrete Frame or Groundwork subcontractors in the UK in an estimating capacity.
It is important 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 Benefits & Rewards:
For the right professionals our clients are looking to offer market leading packages including a strong starting salary or day rate with added benefits.
If PAYE you can expect a starting salary ranging from £70,000 to £100,000 depending on your experience, plus a car allowance, full benefits and targeted related bonuses.
If self-employed, day rates range roughly from around £300 to £500 per day (depending on your experience) and you will be covered for travel costs and you will also be given project related bonuses.
About Me, Your Consultant:
My name is Andrew Jackson and I am one of the founding directors of Cityscape Recruitment Ltd. I have over 17 years of experience in civil engineering & construction recruitment, during which time, I have specialised in the niche sectors of concrete frames, groundworks, basement construction and demolition.
So, what does that mean for you? It means, I work with the vast majority of the groundwork & concrete frame businesses in the UK and I can help not only introduce you, but I can give you up to date information on each of them, helping you make an informed decision so you can take your career forward.
I’ve been doing this for a while now and I’ve maintained a positive reputation doing what I do because I don’t tell people false truths, I tell them everything I know and then let them choose. My job is simply to get you the options, give you the information and then let you decide what feels right for you.
How to Apply:
I am more than happy to discuss these opportunities with you over the phone or face to face in a fully confidential manner (you can get to know me while I get to know you). And I know this is an incestuous sector and I fully understand the importance of keeping things discrete.
It would be ideal to see a copy of your CV to understand your previous experience and employment. In line with GDPR laws, nothing will be done with your CV / details until we have discussed the role in detail anyway, but having gained an understanding of your formal past, this may help when we come to discuss options.
