Chief Glass & Glazing Estimator
We are seeking an experienced Chief Glass & Glazing Estimator to lead the preparation, review and submission of accurate, commercially competitive estimates for a diverse range of glazing and architectural glass projects. This is a senior position suited to a detail-oriented professional with strong technical knowledge, sound commercial judgement and the ability to manage multiple tenders from initial enquiry through to submission.
Responsibilities will include reviewing drawings, specifications, schedules and project documentation; identifying scope, interfaces, exclusions, risks and opportunities; preparing detailed material, labour, plant and subcontractor costs; and obtaining and evaluating supplier and specialist quotations. You will develop clear and comprehensive tenders, confirm compliance with project requirements, maintain estimating records and contribute to pricing strategies and value-engineering proposals. The role will also involve mentoring estimators, coordinating workload and deadlines, liaising with clients, contractors, suppliers and internal project teams, and supporting handover to contracts and delivery teams once projects are secured. You will be expected to challenge assumptions, improve estimating processes and ensure all submissions are accurate, timely and commercially robust.
Applicants should have substantial experience estimating glass, glazing, curtain walling, façades or a closely related construction discipline, ideally with experience in a senior or lead capacity. A strong understanding of construction methods, architectural drawings, glazing systems, hardware, specifications, labour requirements and industry standards is essential. You should be confident using estimating, spreadsheet and document-management software, with excellent numerical, analytical and written communication skills. The successful candidate will be organised, commercially aware and capable of working independently while providing effective leadership and collaboration across project teams. Experience with major commercial, residential, retail or refurbishment projects will be advantageous. A proactive approach, strong attention to detail and the ability to work effectively under tender deadlines are essential.
