Senior Estimator
We are seeking an experienced Senior Estimator to prepare accurate, commercially sound estimates for a range of projects. The successful candidate will analyse drawings, specifications, scopes of work and tender documentation to develop detailed cost plans and competitive submissions. You will work closely with project managers, design teams, procurement specialists, subcontractors and suppliers to ensure estimates reflect current market conditions, project requirements and delivery risks.
Key responsibilities will include reviewing tender opportunities, identifying labour, material, plant and subcontractor requirements, preparing bills of quantities and detailed pricing schedules, and obtaining and evaluating supplier and subcontractor quotations. You will assess project methodologies, programme implications, logistics, preliminaries, risks and potential value-engineering opportunities. The role will also involve maintaining estimating records, contributing to tender presentations, supporting contract negotiations and providing clear handovers to operational teams once projects are secured. You will be expected to monitor market trends and maintain a reliable database of costs, rates and supplier information.
Applicants should have substantial estimating experience within construction, engineering, infrastructure or a related sector, with a strong understanding of commercial principles and project delivery processes. Experience managing multiple tenders, interpreting technical information and producing estimates using relevant estimating or project management software is essential. You will need excellent numerical and analytical skills, strong attention to detail and the ability to identify inaccuracies, omissions and commercial exposure. Effective communication and negotiation skills are important, as is the confidence to work independently while contributing positively to a collaborative team. A relevant technical, commercial or construction qualification is desirable, alongside a demonstrated commitment to professional standards, confidentiality, quality and health and safety.
