Senior Estimator - Life Sciences Construction
We are seeking an experienced Senior Estimator to support the delivery of complex construction projects within the life sciences sector. This is an excellent opportunity for a commercially astute construction professional who can lead the estimating process on high-value, technically demanding projects, including laboratories, pharmaceutical facilities, cleanrooms, research environments and associated infrastructure. You will play a key role in developing accurate, competitive and commercially robust tenders from early design through to contract award.
Your responsibilities will include reviewing drawings, specifications, schedules and other tender information; preparing detailed cost plans, bills of quantities and estimates; obtaining and assessing subcontractor and supplier quotations; and identifying opportunities, risks, exclusions and value engineering options. You will collaborate closely with project managers, planners, design teams, procurement specialists and commercial colleagues to ensure estimates are fully coordinated and aligned with programme and delivery requirements. You will also contribute to tender strategy, attend client and consultant meetings, prepare clear tender submissions, and support the handover of successful bids to the project delivery team.
Applicants should have substantial estimating experience within construction, ideally gained on life sciences, pharmaceutical, healthcare, advanced manufacturing or other highly regulated projects. A strong understanding of construction methods, building services, cleanroom requirements, process interfaces and relevant regulations is highly desirable. You will be confident interpreting technical documentation, using estimating and cost management software, and analysing complex data with a high level of accuracy. Excellent communication, negotiation and organisational skills are essential, together with the ability to manage competing deadlines and influence stakeholders at all levels. A relevant construction, engineering, quantity surveying or commercial qualification would be advantageous. This role offers the opportunity to work on technically innovative projects while contributing to a collaborative, quality-focused pre-construction team.
