Estimator
An experienced Estimator is required to prepare accurate, competitive and commercially sound cost estimates for a range of projects. Working closely with internal teams, clients, suppliers and subcontractors, you will review specifications, drawings and project documentation to develop detailed pricing proposals that meet both operational and customer requirements. This is an excellent opportunity for a methodical and commercially aware professional who can manage multiple deadlines while maintaining a high level of accuracy.
Your responsibilities will include analysing tender and enquiry documents, identifying project risks and opportunities, obtaining and evaluating supplier and subcontractor quotations, and preparing comprehensive bills of quantities and cost breakdowns. You will liaise with project managers, design teams and commercial colleagues to clarify requirements, challenge assumptions and ensure all estimates are complete and well presented. You will also maintain estimating records, support the development of pricing databases, contribute to post-tender reviews and assist with handovers to delivery teams once work has been secured.
Applicants should have previous experience in an estimating, quantity surveying or commercial role, ideally within a construction, engineering, manufacturing or related environment. The ability to interpret technical drawings, specifications and scopes of work is essential, together with strong numerical, analytical and organisational skills. You will be confident using Microsoft Office, particularly Excel, and experience with estimating or enterprise resource planning systems would be advantageous. Excellent communication skills, commercial awareness and a practical approach to problem-solving are required. You should be able to work independently, collaborate effectively with colleagues and remain calm when managing competing priorities. A relevant technical, commercial or construction qualification is desirable, although equivalent practical experience will be considered.
