Wright Engineering are recruiting for a Contruction & Installation Estimator to join their team in Worksop. They will bring practical construction knowledge, buildability and lifting expertise into the bid process. About Wright Engineering Wright Engineering designs, manufactures and installs complex bulk materials handling and industrial engineering systems. Our projects increasingly bring together mechanical handling, structural steelwork, civils, electrical and control systems, specialist subcontractors and demanding live-site installation requirements. As the scale and complexity of our opportunities grows, the quality of our bid development, engineering solution, construction planning and commercial risk control becomes ever more important. We are strengthening the team so that our major opportunities receive the focus they require while maintaining a responsive service on smaller installation enquiries. Location: Woksop, with regular travel to client sites. Salary: Up to 52.5k DOE plus EV or allowance at 495 per month. Role purpose To strengthen the construction and installation content of Wright Engineering's proposals. The role will support major bids by developing practical methodologies, labour and plant allowances, programmes, logistics and lifting strategies, while also taking ownership of smaller installation-led enquiries. The successful candidate will combine hands-on site understanding with the discipline needed to turn an incomplete enquiry into a clearly defined, costed and deliverable scope. Key responsibilities - Site investigation: Attend client sites, surveys and tender meetings to understand access, interfaces, existing plant, operational restrictions, welfare, lifting constraints, shutdown windows and other conditions affecting delivery. - Construction methodology: Develop clear installation, removal and replacement methodologies covering sequence, temporary conditions, access, isolation assumptions, cranage, scaffolding, MEWPs, temporary works and reinstatement. - Estimating: Build labour, supervision, plant, access, consumables, travel, accommodation, preliminaries, testing and contingency allowances using practical productivity assumptions and a clear estimate basis. - Smaller tenders : Take ownership of lower-value and less complex installation enquiries from scope review and site survey through costing, proposal, clarification and handover. - Major-bid support: Work alongside the lead Bid Manager and preconstruction resource on larger opportunities, owning the construction workstream and providing evidence-based challenge to programme, resourcing and site cost assumptions. - Lifting strategy: Develop outline lifting studies and obtain appropriate crane and specialist input during tendering. Where suitably qualified, competent and formally appointed, prepare or approve lift plans in line with company procedures. - Subcontract packages: Prepare and issue clear enquiries for craneage, scaffolding, insulation, civils, temporary works, specialist installation and other construction packages; compare returns on a like-for-like basis. - Programme development: Prepare installation programmes and resource histograms that reflect sequencing, access, shift patterns, shutdowns, interfaces, productivity, testing and commissioning requirements. - Buildability review: Review drawings, layouts and proposed equipment with design and project teams to identify access, maintenance, assembly, transport, erection and future replacement issues before the design is fixed. - Risk and scope: Identify construction risks, missing information, client dependencies and scope boundaries, ensuring that assumptions, exclusions, qualifications and risk allowances are clearly captured. - Tender documentation: Produce concise construction narratives, preliminaries, delivery plans, programme notes and supporting information suitable for inclusion in client-facing proposals. - Handover and feedback: Provide a clear handover to delivery teams and gather feedback on actual labour, plant, methods and constraints so that future estimates become more accurate.

Lead the section through construction, completion, handover and transition towards railway systems and commissioning. What We're Looking For This is a delivery-focused Senior Project Manager role. We're looking for someone who understands how complex infrastructure gets built and who can bring contractors, suppliers and stakeholders together to keep delivery moving. Significant project or construction management experience on major infrastructure projects. Strong civil engineering delivery experience across heavy civils, rail, highways, tunnelling, nuclear or similarly complex environments. Experience working with NEC3 and/or NEC4 contracts. Strong understanding of construction methodologies, sequencing and programme delivery. Ability to challenge contractor programmes and performance without needing to be a specialist planner. Proven contractor and supply-chain management experience. Experience leading integrated teams and managing complex interfaces. Strong stakeholder management skills across multiple organisations and competing requirements. Collaborative, confident and solutions-driven approach. Understanding of CDM within major construction projects. Experience monitoring cost, schedule, productivity and delivery performance. Client-side or consultancy experience would be advantageous. Full UK driving licence and willingness to travel between project sites. Why HS2? You will be joining at one of the most important points in the delivery of the railway with detailed design complete and major construction works still to be delivered. Your responsibility will extend beyond an individual project package. You'll lead a significant section of route, manage a team of Project Managers and work directly with the main contractor and wider HS2 organisation to get the railway built.

Strong understanding of construction methodologies, sequencing and programme delivery. Ability to review and challenge contractor programmes without needing to be a specialist planner. Strong contractor and supplier management experience. Previous client-side or consultancy project management experience. Excellent stakeholder management skills, including experience managing challenging or competing stakeholder requirements. A collaborative, solutions-focused approach to project delivery. Understanding of CDM Regulations and their application within major construction projects. Experience monitoring project cost, schedule, productivity and delivery performance. Full UK driving licence, a vehicle, and willingness to travel between project sites. Nice to have: Experience delivering projects valued in the hundreds of millions or working within a wider £1bn+ infrastructure programme. Heavy civils experience across earthworks, bridges, viaducts, highways or tunnelling. Experience of project controls including Earned Value Management, CPI and SPI. Experience taking major construction packages through completion, close-out and handover. Experience working with local authorities, utilities, landowners or community stakeholders. Experience working within an alliance or highly collaborative contracting environment. This is an opportunity to join HS2 at an important stage of delivery, with significant civil engineering works still to complete over the next two to three years. The successful Senior Project Managers will play a key role in keeping complex packages moving, resolving problems before they impact delivery and working collaboratively across HS2, contractors and stakeholders to successfully complete and hand over the works.
