Estimator
We are seeking an experienced Estimator to prepare accurate, competitive, and commercially sound estimates for a range of projects. Working closely with clients, suppliers, subcontractors, project managers, and internal teams, you will assess requirements, interpret drawings and specifications, and develop detailed cost plans that support successful tender submissions and project delivery.
Your responsibilities will include reviewing enquiry documents, drawings, schedules, and technical information; carrying out quantity take-offs; obtaining and evaluating supplier and subcontractor quotations; preparing labour, material, plant, and overhead calculations; and identifying risks, exclusions, assumptions, and potential cost savings. You will maintain clear records of estimates, update pricing databases, support tender clarifications, and contribute to handover meetings once work is secured. The role may also involve monitoring market conditions, assisting with budgets and forecasts, and supporting value engineering activities where appropriate.
Applicants should have previous experience in estimating, quantity surveying, commercial management, or a closely related discipline. Strong numerical and analytical skills are essential, along with the ability to interpret technical documentation and work accurately to deadlines. You should be confident using spreadsheets and estimating or cost-management software, with excellent attention to detail and a methodical approach to your work. Effective communication skills are required to build productive relationships and explain cost information clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders. A relevant qualification or equivalent practical experience is desirable. This position offers the opportunity to contribute to varied projects while developing your commercial expertise in a collaborative and professional environment.
