Project Estimator
We are seeking an experienced Project Estimator to prepare accurate, commercially sound estimates for a range of projects. Working closely with project managers, clients, suppliers, and subcontractors, you will assess drawings, specifications, scopes of work, and tender documentation to develop detailed cost plans and competitive quotations. You will help ensure projects are priced effectively, risks are identified early, and proposed works can be delivered within agreed budgets and timeframes.
Your responsibilities will include reviewing tender invitations and project requirements, preparing material, labour, plant, subcontractor, and overhead cost estimates, obtaining and evaluating supplier and subcontractor quotations, and maintaining accurate estimating records. You will identify exclusions, assumptions, risks, and potential cost-saving opportunities, while ensuring estimates comply with contractual, technical, and regulatory requirements. You will also contribute to tender submissions, attend site visits and clarification meetings where required, support handover to delivery teams, and assist with updating cost databases and estimating procedures.
Applicants should have proven experience in project estimating, quantity surveying, or a related commercial construction or engineering environment. Strong numerical, analytical, and problem-solving skills are essential, together with the ability to interpret technical drawings, specifications, and bills of quantities. You should be confident using estimating software, spreadsheets, and standard office applications, and be capable of managing multiple deadlines while maintaining a high level of accuracy. Excellent communication and negotiation skills are required, along with a proactive, commercially aware approach and the ability to work effectively both independently and as part of a wider project team. Relevant technical qualifications or industry experience will be advantageous.
