Estimator
We are seeking an experienced Estimator to prepare accurate, commercially sound cost estimates for a range of projects. Working closely with project managers, commercial teams, suppliers and clients, you will assess specifications, drawings and other relevant documentation to develop competitive and well-supported tenders. This is an excellent opportunity for a detail-focused professional who can combine strong analytical skills with practical industry knowledge.
Your responsibilities will include reviewing tender information, identifying labour, materials, plant and subcontractor requirements, obtaining and evaluating supplier and subcontractor quotations, and preparing detailed cost plans and pricing schedules. You will maintain clear records of assumptions, exclusions, risks and opportunities, while ensuring estimates are completed within agreed timescales. You will also support the preparation of tender submissions, contribute to value-engineering proposals, analyse project performance against estimates and assist with post-tender reviews to improve future accuracy. Building effective relationships with internal teams and external partners will be an important part of the role.
Applicants should have previous experience in an estimating, quantity surveying or commercial role, ideally within construction, engineering, manufacturing or a related project-based environment. You will need strong numerical and analytical abilities, excellent attention to detail and confidence interpreting technical drawings, specifications and contracts. Proficiency with estimating software and Microsoft Excel is desirable, alongside the ability to manage competing priorities and work to deadlines. Strong written and verbal communication skills are essential, as is a commercially aware and methodical approach to problem-solving. A relevant technical, construction or commercial qualification would be advantageous, although equivalent practical experience will also be considered.
