An attractive opportunity for an experienced senior level civil engineering estimator within MGL Group, widely recognised as a successful privately owned group of companies delivering a range of services throughout the construction and demolition industries, largely operating throughout the North East, with additional market presence in Yorkshire and Cumbria. This is one of three key senior level appointments for the Group, recruiting them concurrently as it transitions into its next phase of growth. Hawthorn Blue, specialist division of Corepeople, has been assigned to manage the recruitment process for all three roles on behalf of MGL Group . All enquiries about the Estimating Manager post should be directed to Stephen Phillips and/or Victoria Storer, contactable on or .

Role This role, Managing Estimator/Senior estimator, is a role for an experienced senior civil engineering estimator ideally with expertise in infrastructure and heavy civil engineering including but not limited to drainage, reinforced concrete structures and walls, and groundworks, although applicants with more multi disciplinary construction backgrounds will be considered if the experience is principally civil engineering. Reporting to the Group Commercial Director, the role plays a critical part of any bid. The Estimating Manager will, necessarily, have strong, constructive relationships with the planning, design, commercial and operations teams in order to assimilate effectively the appropriate information and considerations for the needs of each bid. The Estimating Manager role within MGL is dynamic and commercial, an ideal opportunity for an individual with a sound understanding of civil engineering and risk. This role requires someone who understands perspective on risk and opportunity. In addition, as the Group considers possibly moving towards a shared group-wide estimating function, the Managing Estimator would play a key role in the integration of civil engineering with the wider picture of the rest of the Group's estimating activities. Experience Required The successful applicant will already possess experience within a senior estimating role, ideally within principle or large regional civil engineering Contractor environments, and will be able to think independently and anticipate and find solutions to problems. Candidates will be expected to demonstrate how they have contributed to successful bids; it is important that they are above all an estimator and not, for example, a bid manager who has had some involvement with the estimating elements of a bid.
