Estimator
We are seeking an experienced Estimator to prepare accurate, competitive, and commercially sound cost estimates for a range of projects. Working closely with clients, suppliers, subcontractors, project managers, and internal teams, you will review specifications, drawings, schedules, and tender documentation to develop detailed quotations and support informed bidding decisions. You will be responsible for identifying project requirements, assessing risks, and ensuring that estimates are delivered on time and to a consistently high standard.
Your duties will include interpreting technical drawings and scopes of work, preparing detailed material, labour, plant, and subcontractor costings, obtaining and evaluating supplier quotations, and maintaining clear records of assumptions, exclusions, and variations. You will liaise with relevant stakeholders to clarify information, attend site visits or tender meetings where required, and contribute to value engineering and cost-saving initiatives. You will also assist with tracking tender outcomes, updating pricing databases, and supporting the transition of successful bids to the delivery team.
Applicants should have previous experience in estimating, quantity surveying, commercial administration, or a related technical environment. Strong numerical and analytical skills are essential, along with the ability to interpret plans, specifications, and contractual information accurately. You should be confident using estimating software, spreadsheets, and standard Microsoft Office applications, and be comfortable managing multiple deadlines in a fast-paced setting. Excellent communication, attention to detail, negotiation skills, and a methodical approach are required. A relevant qualification or industry experience will be advantageous. This role offers the opportunity to contribute to varied projects while developing strong commercial and technical expertise.
