• Maintain up-to-date knowledge of utility industry standards, regulations, construction requirements and pricing structures.
• Support the effective handover of successful projects to the delivery team.
• Contribute ideas and improvements to make our estimating processes more accurate, efficient and customer-focused.
• Ensure all estimating activity meets Stark's governance, compliance and quality standards.

What you’ll bring

• At least 3 years’ experience in a technical engineering environment or similar role.
• An engineering degree in any discipline.
• Experience or strong knowledge of multi-utility network design, ideally with experience in electricity or water networks.
• A good understanding of CDM Regulations 2015 and their application within construction and utility projects.
• Strong commercial awareness with the ability to understand project requirements and develop accurate cost estimates.
• Excellent organisational skills and the ability to manage a high volume of work while meeting deadlines.
• Strong attention to detail and a commitment to getting things right first time.
• Good IT skills, including Microsoft Excel, Word and Outlook.
• Experience using industry estimating/design software such as WinDebut would be advantageous.
• Clear and confident communication skills, with the ability to build positive relationships with customers, colleagues and external stakeholders.
