Senior Estimator (Nationwide)
We are seeking an experienced Senior Estimator to support projects across the country. This is a nationwide opportunity for a commercially astute professional with strong knowledge of estimating, tendering and cost planning within the construction and/or infrastructure sector. You will be responsible for producing accurate, competitive and fully substantiated estimates while working collaboratively with pre-construction, commercial, design, procurement and operational teams.
Your duties will include reviewing client requirements, drawings, specifications and scope information; preparing detailed estimates, bills of quantities and tender submissions; obtaining and assessing supplier and subcontractor quotations; and identifying risks, exclusions, assumptions and opportunities. You will develop cost plans, contribute to value engineering exercises, maintain estimating databases and ensure all submissions are completed accurately and within agreed timescales. The role will also involve presenting estimates to internal stakeholders, supporting tender reviews, negotiating with suppliers and subcontractors, and assisting with the smooth handover of successful bids to delivery teams.
Applicants should have substantial experience in a senior estimating role, with a proven track record of preparing tenders for complex projects. A strong understanding of construction methods, materials, labour costs, procurement routes and contractual considerations is essential, together with the ability to interpret technical drawings and commercial documentation. You will be highly organised, commercially aware and confident using estimating and cost-management software, alongside Microsoft Office applications. Excellent communication and negotiation skills are required, as is the ability to manage multiple deadlines and work independently across a nationwide project portfolio. Relevant industry qualifications or professional membership would be advantageous. Regular travel may be required depending on project and client requirements.
