Construction Estimator

Reference: djiwzyy9fbd8zrxwg0v2

We are seeking an experienced Construction Estimator to prepare accurate, competitive cost estimates for a range of construction projects. The successful candidate will assess project drawings, specifications, scopes of work and site information to develop detailed estimates covering labour, materials, plant, subcontractor services, overheads and contingencies. This role will work closely with project managers, quantity surveyors, suppliers, subcontractors and clients to ensure all pricing is commercially sound and aligned with project requirements.

Key responsibilities include reviewing tender documentation, identifying risks and opportunities, preparing bills of quantities and pricing schedules, obtaining and evaluating supplier and subcontractor quotations, and maintaining clear records of assumptions and exclusions. You will participate in site visits and tender meetings, seek clarification on incomplete or conflicting information, contribute to value-engineering proposals, and support the preparation of tender submissions within strict deadlines. Following award, you may assist with handover to the delivery team and provide ongoing cost and procurement information as required.

Applicants should have proven experience in construction estimating, ideally across building, civil, fit-out or related commercial projects. Strong knowledge of construction methods, materials, subcontractor pricing and relevant standards is essential, along with the ability to interpret technical drawings and specifications. Proficiency with estimating software, spreadsheets and digital document management systems is expected. You will need excellent numerical, analytical and organisational skills, strong attention to detail, and the confidence to communicate pricing assumptions and recommendations clearly. A relevant qualification in quantity surveying, construction management, civil engineering or a related discipline is desirable. The role requires a proactive, commercially aware professional who can manage multiple tenders, prioritise competing deadlines and contribute effectively within a collaborative project environment.
