About this role
The Opportunity
The way we build is changing, and you could be part of what comes next.
At Holcim UK, we're finding new ways to make construction more sustainable, innovative and ready for the future. From homes and schools to hospitals and major infrastructure, what we do helps shape the places people live, work and grow.
With more than 4,000 colleagues across over 200 sites in the UK, you'll be joining a team that's making a real difference every day.
This isn't just about learning a trade. It's about gaining real skills, working with people who know their stuff and playing your part in building a more sustainable future.
Get Bidding on the Future
Confident with data and keen to help win major contracts? Want to calculate the costs that build tomorrow's green infrastructure? Ready to start earning while you learn?
Then come and build your future with Holcim UK.
As an Apprentice Estimator, you'll learn how to analyse blueprints, calculate material and labour costs, and help build competitive tenders that secure new business for Holcim UK.
Get stuck in from day one
You'll be working alongside experienced estimators and commercial teams, getting hands on with real project bids and cost models and learning how things work in the real world.
You'll build practical skills in blueprint analysis, cost forecasting, data management and tender preparation, while working towards a nationally recognised qualification.
Every day will bring something different. You'll have the chance to learn, ask questions, try things out and build your confidence as you go.
And because you'll be learning on the job, you'll see the impact of what you do straight away.
Who are we looking for?
You don't need to know everything about construction estimating already.
We're looking for people who are detail-oriented, analytical and confident with maths. If you're the kind of person who likes digging into details, reading technical drawings and making sense of figures, we'd love to hear from you.
You'll also have the opportunity to show us what you can do through a practical skills assessment, giving you the chance to demonstrate your natural ability and problem solving skills.
Ready to build something bigger?
You'll earn while you learn, gain a recognised qualification and build real experience that can take you wherever you want to go.
Your career starts here. Come build it with Holcim UK.
