Estimator
We are seeking an experienced Estimator to prepare accurate, commercially sound estimates and quotations for a range of projects. Working closely with clients, suppliers, contractors and internal teams, you will assess project requirements, interpret drawings and specifications, and develop detailed costings that support successful tender submissions and project delivery. This role would suit someone with strong numerical ability, commercial awareness and a methodical approach to managing multiple deadlines.
Your responsibilities will include reviewing enquiries, tender documents, plans and technical specifications; preparing detailed material, labour, plant and subcontractor cost estimates; obtaining and comparing supplier and subcontractor quotations; identifying project risks, exclusions and opportunities; and maintaining clear records of assumptions and pricing information. You will liaise with relevant stakeholders to clarify requirements, contribute to tender and bid submissions, and ensure estimates are completed accurately and on time. You may also support the review of project variations, budgets and costs during delivery, helping to identify discrepancies and protect commercial performance.
Applicants should have previous experience in estimating, quantity surveying, cost planning or a related commercial position, ideally within a construction, engineering, manufacturing or technical project environment. The ability to read and interpret technical drawings and specifications is essential, along with confidence using estimating software, spreadsheets and other relevant systems. You will need excellent attention to detail, strong written and verbal communication skills, and the ability to prioritise work in a deadline-driven environment. A proactive, collaborative approach and the confidence to challenge information constructively are also important. Relevant industry qualifications or demonstrable equivalent experience would be advantageous. In return, this opportunity offers the chance to contribute to varied projects, develop commercial expertise and work within a supportive, professional team.
