Senior Estimator
We are seeking an experienced Senior Estimator to lead the preparation of accurate, commercially sound estimates for a range of projects. This is an opportunity for a highly organised and analytical professional to play a key role in supporting successful project delivery, from initial enquiry through to contract award. You will work closely with internal teams, clients, consultants, suppliers and subcontractors to develop competitive bids that reflect project requirements, risk and commercial objectives.
Your responsibilities will include reviewing drawings, specifications, scopes of work and tender documentation; preparing detailed cost plans, estimates and pricing schedules; obtaining and assessing supplier and subcontractor quotations; and identifying exclusions, assumptions, risks and opportunities. You will maintain clear estimating records, contribute to tender strategy and ensure submissions are completed accurately and on time. The role will also involve attending tender meetings, supporting presentations and negotiations, providing cost advice to project teams, and assisting with the development of estimating procedures, benchmarks and databases.
To be successful, you will have substantial experience in a senior estimating role within construction, engineering, infrastructure or a related industry, together with a strong understanding of commercial and contractual principles. You will be confident interpreting technical information and using estimating, cost management and spreadsheet software. Excellent numerical, analytical and communication skills are essential, along with strong attention to detail and the ability to manage competing deadlines. You should be commercially aware, proactive and capable of working independently while contributing effectively to a collaborative team. A relevant qualification in quantity surveying, construction management, engineering or a related discipline is desirable, as is experience with complex tenders, design-and-build projects or large-scale programmes.
