Senior Estimator
We are seeking an experienced Senior Estimator to prepare accurate, competitive and commercially sound cost estimates for a diverse range of projects. This is an excellent opportunity for a detail-oriented construction professional who can manage the estimating process from initial enquiry through to tender submission, while contributing valuable insight to project planning, procurement and commercial strategy.
Key responsibilities will include reviewing tender documentation, drawings, specifications and scopes of work; preparing detailed bills of quantities, take-offs and cost plans; obtaining and evaluating supplier and subcontractor quotations; identifying risks, exclusions, assumptions and opportunities for value engineering; and producing clear, well-supported tender submissions within agreed deadlines. You will liaise with clients, consultants, project managers, suppliers and subcontractors to clarify requirements, negotiate pricing and ensure all estimates reflect current market conditions. The role will also involve maintaining estimating records, supporting handover to the delivery team and contributing to the ongoing improvement of estimating procedures and systems.
Applicants should have substantial experience in a senior estimating role within the construction, engineering or related sectors, with a strong understanding of construction methods, materials, labour costs and subcontractor markets. A relevant qualification in construction, quantity surveying, engineering or a similar discipline is desirable. You will be confident interpreting technical drawings and contract documentation, using estimating and spreadsheet software, and managing multiple tenders simultaneously. Strong commercial awareness, analytical ability and attention to detail are essential, together with excellent communication and negotiation skills. The successful candidate will be organised, proactive and capable of working independently while collaborating effectively with colleagues at all levels.
