About The Role
Balfour Beatty is seeking an experienced Multi‑Utilities Estimator to join our Power Transmission & Distribution business. This role will focus primarily on estimating for Multi‑Utility diversion schemes, with an immediate emphasis on a significant volume of work linked to the Lower Thames Crossing (LTC) project. The successful candidate will also provide ad‑hoc estimating support across the wider Power T&D portfolio, including Transmission and Distribution cabling and substation projects.

This position provides both pre‑ and post‑contract estimating support, working collaboratively across strategy, commercial, operations, procurement, finance, insurance, and legal functions to ensure clarity and alignment with client requirements.
Balfour Beatty supports hybrid working across the UK, however due to the nature of the LTC project, candidates based in the South or East of England or able to spend significant periods on site are preferred.
