Preconstruction Senior Estimator

Reference: ipctmp2nbjy8vo743qii

We are seeking an experienced Preconstruction Senior Estimator to lead the estimating process from early-stage concept through to contract award. This role will be responsible for preparing accurate, competitive, and commercially sound estimates for a range of construction projects, while working closely with project managers, designers, consultants, subcontractors, and clients. You will play a key role in shaping project strategy, identifying risks, and supporting successful tender submissions.

Key responsibilities will include reviewing drawings, specifications, scopes of work, and other tender documentation; developing detailed cost plans, budgets, and estimates; preparing bills of quantities and trade packages; obtaining and evaluating subcontractor and supplier quotations; and conducting value engineering exercises to optimise cost, quality, and buildability. You will maintain clear records of assumptions, exclusions, qualifications, and risk allowances, and provide robust analysis to support commercial decision-making. The role will also involve mentoring junior estimators, coordinating bid programmes, contributing to client presentations, and ensuring all submissions are completed accurately and on time.

Applicants should have significant estimating experience within the construction industry, ideally across complex commercial, residential, infrastructure, or industrial projects. A strong understanding of construction methods, procurement routes, contracts, and current market conditions is essential, along with the ability to interpret technical information and identify commercial risks. You will be confident using estimating and measurement software, spreadsheets, and standard office applications, with excellent numerical, analytical, and organisational skills. Strong communication and negotiation abilities are required, as is the confidence to work independently while collaborating effectively with multidisciplinary teams. A relevant qualification in quantity surveying, construction management, engineering, or a related discipline would be advantageous. This is an excellent opportunity for a proactive professional seeking a senior position with substantial influence over project outcomes.
