Lead Estimator

Reference: fswlt1vz59etdnsuimv9

We are seeking an experienced Lead Estimator to oversee the preparation of accurate, competitive, and commercially sound estimates for a range of projects. This role will lead estimating activities from initial opportunity review through to tender submission, ensuring that all pricing, assumptions, exclusions, and risks are clearly identified and documented. You will work closely with project managers, procurement teams, designers, subcontractors, and clients to develop robust cost plans and support successful project delivery.

Key responsibilities will include reviewing drawings, specifications, scopes of work, and tender documentation; preparing detailed take-offs and estimates; obtaining and evaluating supplier and subcontractor quotations; and maintaining up-to-date cost databases and pricing information. You will coordinate estimating workloads, provide guidance to other estimators, and ensure submissions are completed accurately and within required deadlines. The role will also involve identifying value-engineering opportunities, assessing commercial and contractual risks, contributing to tender strategies, and presenting estimates and recommendations to senior stakeholders. You may also support post-tender clarifications, negotiations, handovers, and the review of project performance against original estimates.

Applicants should have substantial experience in estimating within construction, engineering, infrastructure, or a related technical sector, with a strong understanding of cost planning, procurement, project scopes, and commercial principles. Experience leading estimating activities or mentoring junior team members is essential, along with confidence interpreting technical documentation and using estimating, spreadsheet, and project management software. Strong numerical, analytical, organisational, and communication skills are required, as is a disciplined approach to accuracy and deadlines. The successful candidate will be commercially aware, detail-focused, proactive, and capable of managing competing priorities while building effective relationships with internal and external stakeholders. Relevant qualifications or professional membership will be advantageous.
