Requirements

What we're looking for

  • Do you have at least 2 years of relevant experience within road construction?

  • Do you have knowledge of RAW, UAV-GC, and EMVI?

  • Do you work accurately and quickly identify opportunities and risks?

  • Do you enjoy working with others to reach the best bid?

Pay & benefits

What you'll get

  • A job for 32 to 40 hours per week

  • Salary appropriate to your knowledge and experience, between €4,000 and €6,500 gross per 4 weeks based on 40 hours (approximately €4,300 to €7,000 gross per month).

  • 40 days off for full-time employment

  • An electric car with a charging pass for all of Europe

  • Company laptop and phone

  • Good employment conditions according to the CAO Bouw & Infra

  • A flexible work location and the possibility to work from home occasionally

  • Plenty of opportunities to further develop yourself.

  • And at least as importantly: a fun and engaged team. From padel and karting to a golf clinic or jeu de boules, we also regularly seek each other out outside of work

The role

A sharp calculation can make the difference between participating and winning. As an Estimator at KWS Amsterdam-Utrecht, your work therefore revolves around more than just the numbers. From the very beginning, you think along about the approach, identify opportunities and risks, and work together with the team to find the smartest solution.

And with us, you don't just do estimating from behind your desk. You regularly visit our projects and seek out colleagues on-site. By combining your knowledge with their practical experience, we come together to create a strong and achievable bid.

From local road construction projects to large and complex infrastructure projects: your calculation forms the basis for what we will soon build on-site.

Your job
As an Estimator, you work on various projects within civil engineering, road construction, and hydraulic engineering, such as asphalt and paving, earthworks, sewerage, and remediation. You work on RAW projects and, depending on your experience, can also work on more complex D&C tenders.

In addition, it is about more than just an accurate budget. You want to know how we can make the project smart, feasible, and competitive.

The beautiful thing about this position? You ultimately see the results of what you, together with the team, devised and calculated at the front end.

What you'll do

  • Creating budgets and cost calculations;

  • Requesting and comparing quotes from suppliers and subcontractors;

  • Identifying opportunities, risks, and smart optimizations;

  • Thinking along about sustainable and efficient solutions;

  • Determining the bidding strategy together with the tender and project team;

  • Ensuring a good handover to the colleagues who will realize the project on-site.

What you bring

We are primarily looking for someone who knows road construction and gets enthusiastic about the profession of estimating. Experience as an Estimator is preferred, but is not the only route to this position. For example, have you gained your experience as a Site Preparer, Foreman, or Project Manager and do you want to make the step to Estimator? Then we would also love to get in touch with you.

  • Is experience with Metacom a plus?

Want to get to know us?

Curious about the position, the team, or our projects? You don't have to apply immediately. Feel free to call or email me, and I will be happy to tell you more about it.

In their own words

About the company & team

KWS is the largest road construction company in the Netherlands. That means we work on many different projects. As an Estimator, you will therefore experience plenty of variety. One time you are calculating for a project in Amsterdam or Utrecht, the next time you are working on a larger and more complex project such as Zuidasdok, Schiphol, or the Markermeerdijken.

You work together with project managers, tender managers, subcontractors, and colleagues from operations. The lines are short and your knowledge and ideas are taken seriously.

Even if you want to further develop yourself, there are plenty of opportunities within KWS. You can take on increasingly complex calculations and tenders, or discover that your ambition lies elsewhere. For example, Estimators within KWS have grown into roles such as Cost Expert, Tender Manager, or Project Manager. As a large contractor, we have enough disciplines in-house to facilitate your next step within KWS.

KWS designs, builds, maintains, manages, and operates infra. With its own equipment, subsidiaries, and participations throughout the country, KWS offers a wide range of disciplines. From specialties and small-scale work for municipalities and private individuals to large-scale multidisciplinary projects in which we realize the complete infrastructure. This is done in close cooperation with all parties involved. Our organization, part of VolkerWessels, is fully in development.
