Estimator
We are seeking an experienced Estimator to prepare accurate, commercially sound cost estimates for a range of projects. The successful candidate will review drawings, specifications, schedules and other tender information to develop detailed pricing submissions. You will work closely with clients, suppliers, subcontractors, project managers and operational teams to ensure estimates reflect the required scope, programme, materials, labour and site conditions.
Key responsibilities will include interpreting technical documentation, measuring quantities, obtaining and evaluating supplier and subcontractor quotations, building cost plans and preparing competitive tenders. You will identify risks, exclusions, assumptions and potential cost savings, ensuring these are clearly documented and communicated. The role will also involve maintaining estimating databases, monitoring market costs, supporting value engineering activities and contributing to post-tender reviews. You may be required to attend site visits, clarification meetings and tender interviews, as well as assist with handover information once work is secured.
Applicants should have previous experience in estimating, quantity surveying, commercial management or a related construction or engineering environment. Strong numerical, analytical and organisational skills are essential, along with the ability to manage multiple deadlines and produce accurate work under pressure. You should be confident reading technical drawings and specifications and be comfortable using estimating, measurement and Microsoft Office software. Excellent written and verbal communication skills are required, together with a commercial mindset and a methodical approach to problem-solving. A relevant qualification or equivalent practical experience is desirable. The role offers the opportunity to contribute to varied projects while developing strong relationships across technical, operational and commercial teams.
