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, designers, and internal teams, you will review project requirements, interpret drawings and specifications, and develop detailed pricing proposals that support successful tender submissions and project delivery.
Your responsibilities will include analysing plans, schedules, and technical documentation; preparing quantity take-offs and bills of materials; obtaining and assessing supplier and subcontractor quotations; and calculating labour, plant, material, overhead, and other project costs. You will identify risks, exclusions, assumptions, and potential value-engineering opportunities, ensuring that estimates are clear, complete, and aligned with scope. You will also maintain accurate estimating records, contribute to tender reviews, support the preparation of commercial submissions, and assist with handovers to project and delivery teams. Where required, you may attend site visits, clarification meetings, and post-tender discussions.
The successful candidate will have previous experience in estimating within a construction, engineering, manufacturing, or related environment, together with the ability to read technical drawings and understand specifications. Strong numerical, analytical, and organisational skills are essential, as is excellent attention to detail and the ability to manage multiple deadlines. You should be confident using Microsoft Office and estimating or cost-management software, with the ability to learn new systems quickly. Effective communication and negotiation skills are required when working with suppliers, subcontractors, clients, and colleagues. A relevant technical, commercial, or construction qualification would be advantageous, although demonstrable practical experience will also be considered. This role would suit a proactive professional who takes ownership of their work and is committed to producing reliable, high-quality estimates.
