Estimator
We are seeking an experienced Estimator to prepare accurate, competitive, and commercially sound cost estimates for a range of projects. Working closely with clients, suppliers, subcontractors, and internal teams, you will assess project requirements, interpret drawings and specifications, and develop detailed pricing submissions that support successful business decisions and project delivery.
Your responsibilities will include reviewing tender documents, scope of works, technical drawings, and schedules; preparing take-offs and bills of quantities; obtaining and evaluating supplier and subcontractor quotations; and identifying labour, material, plant, and associated project costs. You will maintain clear records of assumptions, exclusions, risks, and clarifications, ensuring estimates are transparent, well supported, and submitted within agreed deadlines. The role will also involve contributing to value engineering, reviewing variations and change requests, supporting budget development, and liaising with project teams to compare estimated and actual costs.
Applicants should have proven experience in an estimating, quantity surveying, or commercial role within a relevant construction, engineering, manufacturing, or related environment. Strong numerical and analytical skills are essential, along with the ability to interpret technical information and produce accurate cost calculations. You should be confident using estimating software, spreadsheets, and standard office applications, with excellent attention to detail and a methodical approach to managing multiple priorities. Effective communication and negotiation skills are required, as is the ability to build positive working relationships with stakeholders at all levels. A relevant technical or commercial qualification is desirable, although equivalent practical experience will be considered. This is an opportunity to join a collaborative team where your commercial judgement, organisation, and ability to deliver reliable estimates will make a direct contribution to project success.
