• Minimum 5 years’ experience in civil, structural, or remedial construction estimating, ideally on bridge or large-scale infrastructure projects.

• Strong technical understanding of post-tensioning, cable-stayed structures, bearing replacements, and specialist structural equipment.

• Commercially astute, with the ability to balance risk, opportunity, and value.

• Confident communicator with the ability to influence, collaborate, and build trust across multidisciplinary teams.
