Senior Cost Estimator

Reference: tkpi0vp9nfajxxcgfj4o

We are seeking an experienced Senior Cost Estimator to lead the preparation of accurate, commercially robust cost estimates for a range of projects. Working closely with project managers, engineers, procurement specialists and commercial colleagues, you will develop estimates from initial concept through to tender and delivery, ensuring that costs, risks and assumptions are clearly understood and documented.

Your responsibilities will include reviewing specifications, drawings, schedules and other technical information; preparing detailed labour, materials, plant and subcontractor cost estimates; obtaining and evaluating supplier and subcontractor quotations; and maintaining cost databases, benchmarking information and estimating tools. You will analyse project requirements, identify cost-saving opportunities and assess the financial impact of design changes, inflation, market conditions and programme revisions. You will also prepare supporting documentation, present estimates to internal and external stakeholders, and provide clear advice to support pricing, budgeting and investment decisions.

The successful candidate will have substantial experience in a senior estimating role, ideally within a construction, engineering, manufacturing, infrastructure or similarly complex project environment. You will be confident interpreting technical documentation and building reliable estimates from incomplete or evolving information. Strong commercial awareness, numerical ability and attention to detail are essential, together with experience of risk analysis, cost planning and tender preparation. Proficiency in estimating software and Microsoft Excel is expected, while familiarity with relevant industry standards, contract principles and procurement processes would be advantageous. You should be an organised and credible communicator, able to challenge assumptions constructively, manage competing deadlines and work effectively with colleagues at all levels. A relevant qualification in quantity surveying, commercial management, engineering, construction or a related discipline is desirable.
