Are you someone who’s good with figures, but also understands what goes on out there on the shop floor? We’re looking for a Infrastructure Calculator who can present projects clearly right from the initial enquiry. You ensure that plans, quantities, materials and costs are brought together in a clear and realistic quotation.

In this role, you’ll be a key link at the forefront of infrastructure projects. This includes work in earthworks, road construction, sewerage, paving, civil engineering and other infrastructure projects. You’ll delve into specifications, drawings and work descriptions, obtain quotes and translate everything into a realistic cost estimate. In doing so, you’ll consider not only what something costs, but also what is practically feasible.

You’ll work closely with colleagues such as work planners, site supervisors and project managers. Together, you’ll ensure that a project is properly prepared before it gets underway. Your attention to detail, technical insight and practical know-how will make all the difference here.

At Valento Jobs, we look beyond just your CV. Do you have experience in infrastructure, are you good with numbers, and do you understand how projects work in practice? If so, we’d love to hear from you. For us, it’s all about craftsmanship, commitment and finding the right match between professionals and clients.

What will you do?

  • You will carry out cost calculations for various infrastructure projects.
  • You analyse tenders, drawings and specifications.
  • You determine the quantities, material requirements, equipment and labour.
  • You request quotes from suppliers and subcontractors.
  • You compare quotations and incorporate them into your calculation.
  • You will draw up comprehensive and clear quotations or tenders.
  • You’ll help come up with smart, practical and cost-effective solutions.
  • You’ll be liaising with work planners, site supervisors and project managers.
  • You take into account the schedule, feasibility and project risks.
  • You will help ensure a smooth handover to the implementation phase.

Who are you?

  • You have experience as a quantity surveyor, works planner or in a similar role within the infrastructure sector.
  • You have technical insight and understand how infrastructure projects are carried out.
  • You’re good at working with specifications, drawings and cost estimates.
  • You work with precision and maintain a clear overview, even when dealing with several enquiries at once.
  • You have a practical mindset and enjoy helping to come up with solutions.
  • You’re not afraid to ask questions when something isn’t quite right or could be improved.
  • You work well with colleagues both in the office and on site.
  • Experience with cost estimation software would be an advantage.
  • Ideally, you should live in Limburg or the immediate vicinity.

What do you get?

  • A varied role within infrastructure engineering.
  • Work on exciting projects in Limburg and the surrounding area.
  • A client who takes your knowledge and insight seriously.
  • A salary commensurate with your experience, qualifications and expertise; €3,300 – €5,100
  • Good terms and conditions of employment in accordance with the applicable collective agreement.
  • Opportunity for a long-term partnership.
  • Opportunities for personal development within the infrastructure sector.
  • Personal contact with Valento Jobs.
  • A dedicated point of contact who works with you to find solutions.
  • A role in which your work has a direct impact on the success of projects.
