Cost Estimator II
We are seeking a Cost Estimator II to prepare accurate, competitive and commercially sound cost estimates for a range of projects, products or services. Working closely with engineering, procurement, project management and operational teams, you will interpret technical specifications, drawings, scopes of work and customer requirements to develop detailed estimates from initial concept through to final submission. You will assess labour, materials, equipment, subcontractor and overhead costs, ensuring assumptions, exclusions, risks and contingencies are clearly identified and documented.
In this role, you will maintain estimating data, obtain and evaluate supplier and subcontractor quotations, and support the preparation of tenders, bids and budget forecasts. You will review completed work and project outcomes to improve future estimating accuracy, investigate significant cost variances and provide clear commercial information to support decision-making. You may also contribute to pricing reviews, process improvements and the development of standard estimating tools and procedures. The role requires careful attention to detail, sound judgement and the ability to manage competing priorities while meeting deadlines.
Applicants should have previous experience in cost estimating, quantity surveying, commercial analysis or a closely related discipline, ideally within a technical, manufacturing, construction, engineering or project-based environment. You will be confident working with spreadsheets, estimating software and financial data, with strong numerical, analytical and problem-solving skills. The ability to read technical documentation, communicate effectively with both technical and non-technical colleagues, and challenge information constructively is essential. A relevant qualification or equivalent practical experience would be advantageous. We are looking for someone organised, dependable and commercially aware, who can work independently while contributing positively to a collaborative team.
