Senior Estimator

Reference: zwibklr6u5rocbys8qej

We are seeking an experienced Senior Estimator to lead the preparation of accurate, competitive, and commercially sound cost estimates for a range of projects. Working closely with project managers, engineers, suppliers, and clients, you will assess requirements, review specifications and drawings, and develop detailed estimates that support successful tender submissions and project planning.

Your responsibilities will include analysing plans, scopes of work, bills of quantities, and technical documentation; preparing detailed labour, material, plant, subcontractor, and overhead cost calculations; and obtaining and evaluating supplier and subcontractor quotations. You will identify risks, exclusions, assumptions, and opportunities for value engineering, while ensuring estimates are completed within agreed timescales and in line with relevant standards and procedures. You will also contribute to tender strategies, participate in clarification meetings, support negotiations, and provide clear commercial information to stakeholders. Following project award, you may assist with cost reviews, budget development, forecasting, variations, and lessons-learned activities.

The successful candidate will have substantial estimating experience within a construction, engineering, infrastructure, manufacturing, or related project environment, together with a strong understanding of pricing principles, procurement processes, and commercial risk. You should be confident interpreting technical drawings and specifications, using estimating software and Microsoft Office applications, particularly Excel, and producing clear, well-structured tender documentation. Strong numerical, analytical, and communication skills are essential, along with the ability to manage multiple deadlines and work effectively with both internal and external stakeholders. A relevant technical, commercial, or construction qualification is desirable, as is professional membership of an appropriate industry body. This role will suit a detail-focused professional who can work independently, challenge assumptions constructively, and deliver reliable estimates that support informed business decisions.
