Construction Estimator
We are seeking an experienced Construction Estimator to prepare accurate, competitive, and commercially sound estimates for a range of construction projects. Working closely with project managers, site teams, subcontractors, suppliers, and clients, you will assess project requirements and develop detailed cost plans that support successful tenders and informed business decisions. This role suits a highly organised professional with strong attention to detail and a thorough understanding of construction methods, materials, and industry pricing.
Your responsibilities will include reviewing drawings, specifications, schedules, and tender documentation; preparing detailed quantity take-offs and bills of quantities; obtaining and evaluating supplier and subcontractor quotations; and identifying labour, material, plant, and overhead costs. You will analyse project risks, clarify scope gaps, develop value-engineering options, and ensure estimates are complete, accurate, and submitted within agreed deadlines. You will also maintain estimating records, monitor market costs, support tender presentations, and contribute to post-tender negotiations and project handovers. Clear communication and the ability to build effective working relationships will be essential when liaising with internal and external stakeholders.
Applicants should have proven experience in a construction estimating role, ideally across commercial, residential, civil, or fit-out projects. A relevant qualification in construction, quantity surveying, engineering, or a related discipline is advantageous, together with strong knowledge of construction contracts, estimating procedures, and current material and labour costs. Proficiency with estimating software, spreadsheets, and digital take-off tools is expected. You will need excellent numerical and analytical skills, commercial awareness, and the ability to manage multiple tenders in a deadline-driven environment. A proactive approach, sound judgement, and commitment to accuracy and confidentiality are also important. This position offers the opportunity to contribute to varied projects while developing strong commercial and project delivery expertise.
