Senior Estimator – Civil Construction

Auckland | Full-time | HEB Construction Ltd

At HEB Construction, we're shaping the future of New Zealand's infrastructure — from the roads you drive on to the water you drink and the communities you live in. We're part of the VINCI Construction group, a global leader in sustainable infrastructure delivery.

We're looking for an experienced Senior Estimator to join our Civil business in Hornby, Christchurch. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in a collaborative environment, has a sharp eye for detail, and is passionate about delivering accurate and competitive tenders for complex civil projects.

What you'll be doing
  • Preparing detailed cost estimates and tender submissions across a range of heavy civil projects — including roading and pavements, three waters infrastructure, and land development.
  • Collaborating with engineers, project managers, and commercial teams to develop winning methodologies and innovative solutions.
  • Analysing drawings, specifications, and contractual documents to identify opportunities, risks, and cost efficiencies.
  • Leading estimating input for both standalone tenders and design–build or alliance projects.
  • Supporting our estimators through mentoring and knowledge sharing.
What you'll bring
  • Proven experience estimating medium to large-scale civil construction projects in New Zealand.
  • Strong knowledge of NZS 3910, NZTA specifications, and local authority standards.
  • Advanced capability with estimating software (e.g. Expert Estimation, Candy, or similar).
  • Excellent analytical, communication, and negotiation skills.
  • A proactive, solutions-focused approach and a commitment to accuracy and quality.
Why HEB?
  • Be part of a company that cares about people, safety, and the environment.
  • Work within a supportive, collaborative estimating team that values innovation and professional growth.
  • Access to VINCI's global expertise and career pathways across New Zealand and abroad.
  • Competitive remuneration and a comprehensive benefits package including health and life insurance.

HEB Construction is a dynamic and innovative leader in New Zealand Infrastructure. Our scope of work ranges from road construction and maintenance through to earthworks, drainage, subdivisions and bridges, all the way through to major projects of national significance.

Part of the Vinci Construction International Network, we combine the best of local and international expertise, and have created a high-performing culture where our people thrive.
