Senior Estimator
We are seeking an experienced Senior Estimator to prepare accurate, competitive, and commercially sound estimates for a varied portfolio of projects. This is an excellent opportunity for a confident estimator who can combine strong technical knowledge with commercial awareness, effective communication, and a methodical approach to cost planning. You will work closely with project managers, commercial teams, suppliers, subcontractors, and clients to support successful tender submissions and ensure opportunities are assessed thoroughly.
Your responsibilities will include reviewing drawings, specifications, schedules, and other tender documentation; preparing detailed cost estimates and bills of quantities; obtaining and analysing supplier and subcontractor quotations; and identifying cost risks, exclusions, assumptions, and opportunities for value engineering. You will maintain accurate estimating records, contribute to tender reviews, support pricing strategy, and present clear commercial recommendations to senior stakeholders. The role will also involve monitoring market conditions, maintaining cost databases, mentoring less experienced estimators, and helping to improve estimating procedures and systems.
Applicants should have substantial experience in a senior estimating or pre-construction role, ideally within a construction, engineering, infrastructure, or related project environment. You will need a strong understanding of estimating principles, procurement routes, contract documentation, and cost control, together with the ability to interpret technical information and produce precise pricing submissions. Proficiency with estimating software and Microsoft Office is expected, while experience with digital measurement or project management systems would be advantageous. Excellent numerical, analytical, organisational, and negotiation skills are essential, as is the ability to manage competing deadlines and work independently. A relevant technical, commercial, or construction-related qualification is desirable, although equivalent practical experience will be considered.
