Senior Estimator (Nationwide)
We are seeking an experienced Senior Estimator to support a growing portfolio of projects nationwide. This is a key role for a commercially minded professional who can lead the preparation of accurate, competitive and technically robust estimates across a range of project types and values. You will work closely with pre-construction, design, procurement, commercial and operational teams to develop winning tenders and ensure a smooth transition from estimate to delivery.
Your responsibilities will include reviewing tender documentation, drawings, specifications and scope requirements; preparing detailed cost plans, bills of quantities and estimates; obtaining and analysing subcontractor and supplier quotations; and identifying value engineering opportunities, risks, exclusions and commercial assumptions. You will coordinate estimating activities, maintain clear audit trails and produce well-presented tender submissions within strict deadlines. The role will also involve attending tender meetings, contributing to bid strategies, supporting negotiations and providing guidance to junior estimators. As projects progress, you will assist with handovers, estimate reconciliations and lessons-learned reviews to improve future performance.
Applicants should have substantial experience in a senior estimating role within construction, infrastructure, engineering or a related sector, with a strong understanding of construction methods, procurement routes, contractual principles and current market conditions. You will be confident interpreting technical information, assessing project risks and using estimating or cost-management software, alongside standard Microsoft Office applications. Strong numerical, analytical and organisational skills are essential, as is the ability to communicate effectively with colleagues, clients, consultants, suppliers and subcontractors. A relevant qualification in quantity surveying, commercial management, construction or engineering is desirable. The position requires a proactive, detail-focused approach, the ability to manage competing priorities and a willingness to travel nationwide when required.
