Senior Estimator

Reference: jj3bsf2lgk1eg4j58q29

We are seeking an experienced Senior Estimator to prepare accurate, competitive, and commercially sound estimates for a diverse range of projects. Working closely with the pre-construction, design, procurement, and project delivery teams, you will take ownership of the estimating process from initial enquiry through to tender submission. This is an excellent opportunity for a detail-oriented professional who can combine strong technical knowledge with commercial judgement and effective stakeholder management.

Your responsibilities will include reviewing drawings, specifications, schedules, and tender documentation; preparing detailed cost plans, bills of quantities, take-offs, and pricing analyses; and obtaining and evaluating quotations from suppliers and subcontractors. You will identify risks, exclusions, assumptions, and opportunities, maintain clear estimating records, and support the preparation of tender returns and commercial submissions. You will also contribute to value engineering, attend tender and design meetings, clarify scope requirements, and assist with handover to the delivery team. Where required, you may support junior estimators by reviewing their work and sharing best practice.

Applicants should have substantial estimating experience within construction, civil engineering, building services, or a related sector, with a strong understanding of project costs, contracts, procurement, and construction methodologies. Proficiency with estimating software, spreadsheets, and digital measurement tools is expected, together with the ability to interpret technical drawings and documentation. You will be highly organised, numerate, and confident working to deadlines while managing multiple tenders at different stages. Strong written and verbal communication skills are essential, as is the ability to build effective relationships with internal teams, clients, consultants, suppliers, and subcontractors. A relevant technical or commercial qualification is desirable, although equivalent professional experience will be considered.
