Construction Estimator

Reference: qr4nifpnnjscx39yf70n

We are seeking an experienced Construction Estimator to prepare accurate and competitive cost estimates for a range of construction projects. The successful candidate will review drawings, specifications, scopes of work and relevant documentation to develop detailed pricing proposals from initial enquiry through to tender submission. You will work closely with project managers, designers, subcontractors, suppliers and clients to ensure estimates are comprehensive, commercially sound and aligned with project requirements.

Key responsibilities include analysing plans and technical documents, preparing detailed quantity take-offs, obtaining and evaluating subcontractor and supplier quotations, and calculating labour, materials, plant, preliminaries, overheads and profit margins. You will identify risks, exclusions, variations and potential cost savings, maintain accurate estimating records, and contribute to bid strategies and tender presentations. The role will also involve attending site visits and clarification meetings, monitoring market conditions and material costs, and supporting the handover of successful projects to the delivery team.

Applicants should have proven experience in construction estimating, quantity surveying or a closely related commercial role, together with a strong understanding of construction methods, materials, contracts and industry standards. The ability to interpret architectural, structural and engineering drawings is essential, as is confidence using estimating, take-off and spreadsheet software. You will need excellent numerical and analytical skills, strong attention to detail and the ability to manage competing deadlines while maintaining accuracy. Effective communication and negotiation skills are important, along with a proactive, commercially focused approach and the ability to work independently or collaboratively. Relevant qualifications in construction, quantity surveying, building or a related discipline are desirable.
