Construction- General Contractor Junior Estimator and Bid Coordinator
We are seeking a motivated Junior Estimator and Bid Coordinator to support the successful preparation and submission of construction bids. This role is suited to an organised individual with an interest in commercial construction, strong attention to detail, and the ability to manage multiple deadlines. Working closely with project managers, subcontractors, suppliers, and senior estimating staff, you will help develop accurate, competitive, and timely proposals for a range of general contracting projects.
Key responsibilities will include reviewing plans, specifications, addenda, and other tender documents; assisting with quantity take-offs and preliminary cost estimates; preparing bid worksheets, scope comparisons, and pricing summaries; and soliciting, recording, and evaluating quotations from subcontractors and suppliers. You will coordinate bid documentation, maintain tender calendars, track clarifications and exclusions, and ensure submissions are complete and delivered in accordance with requirements. The role will also involve updating cost databases, maintaining organised electronic files, supporting post-bid reviews, and communicating with internal and external stakeholders to resolve pricing or scope questions.
Applicants should have previous experience in construction, estimating, procurement, project administration, or a related environment. A working knowledge of construction drawings, specifications, materials, and standard building practices is highly desirable. Familiarity with estimating software, spreadsheets, document management systems, and Microsoft Office applications will be advantageous. Strong numerical, analytical, written, and verbal communication skills are essential, along with the ability to interpret detailed information accurately and work effectively under pressure. A construction-related qualification or relevant practical experience is preferred. The successful candidate will demonstrate initiative, reliability, confidentiality, and a willingness to learn, while contributing positively to a collaborative team and maintaining high standards of accuracy throughout the bidding process.
