Estimator
We are seeking an experienced Estimator to prepare accurate, competitive, and commercially sound cost estimates for a range of projects. Working closely with project managers, clients, suppliers, and subcontractors, you will assess drawings, specifications, schedules, and other relevant information to develop detailed quotations and support successful project delivery. This is an excellent opportunity for a methodical professional who enjoys combining technical knowledge, commercial awareness, and strong attention to detail.
Your responsibilities will include reviewing tender and enquiry documentation, identifying scope requirements, calculating labour, materials, plant, subcontractor, and associated project costs, and preparing clear and comprehensive estimates for submission. You will obtain and evaluate supplier and subcontractor quotations, maintain accurate pricing information, identify risks and opportunities, and ensure all assumptions, exclusions, and qualifications are clearly documented. You will also assist with value-engineering proposals, tender presentations, handover meetings, and the preparation of cost reports and forecasts as required.
The successful candidate will have previous experience in an estimating, quantity surveying, or commercial role, ideally within a construction, engineering, manufacturing, or related project environment. You should be confident interpreting technical drawings and specifications, working with spreadsheets and estimating software, and analysing complex information to make informed decisions. Strong numerical, organisational, and communication skills are essential, together with the ability to manage multiple deadlines and work effectively both independently and as part of a wider team. A proactive approach, commercial judgement, and commitment to accuracy and quality are expected. Relevant technical or commercial qualifications, along with experience using industry-specific estimating systems, would be advantageous.
