Senior Estimator (Nationwide)
We are seeking an experienced Senior Estimator to support a growing portfolio of construction and refurbishment projects nationwide. This is a key role responsible for preparing accurate, competitive and commercially sound tenders across a range of project values and sectors. You will work closely with pre-construction, commercial, design and operational teams to develop robust pricing strategies and ensure submissions are delivered to a consistently high standard.
Your responsibilities will include reviewing tender and contract documentation, assessing drawings, specifications, schedules and scope requirements, and identifying risks, opportunities, exclusions and assumptions. You will obtain and evaluate subcontractor and supplier quotations, complete detailed take-offs and build-ups, prepare bills of quantities and manage estimating and tender information through to submission. You will also contribute to value engineering, build-up reviews, client presentations and post-tender negotiations, while maintaining clear records and supporting the continuous improvement of estimating processes. The role will involve building effective relationships with clients, consultants, subcontractors and internal stakeholders, with travel required to project and client locations when necessary.
The successful candidate will have substantial experience in a senior estimating position within the construction, civil engineering, fit-out or related sector, together with a strong understanding of current market conditions, construction methods, procurement routes and commercial principles. You should be confident interpreting technical information, analysing costs and presenting recommendations clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences. Strong attention to detail, sound judgement, negotiation skills and the ability to manage multiple deadlines are essential. Experience using estimating software, digital measurement tools and Microsoft Office applications is expected, along with a relevant construction or commercial qualification. A full driving licence and flexibility to work nationwide would be advantageous.
