Assistant Estimator
We are seeking an Assistant Estimator to support the preparation of accurate and competitive cost estimates for a range of construction and maintenance projects. This is an excellent opportunity for an organised and commercially minded individual who is looking to develop their estimating experience within a collaborative team. You will assist with reviewing tender documents, drawings and specifications, identifying project requirements and gathering relevant cost information from suppliers and subcontractors.
Your responsibilities will include measuring quantities from drawings, preparing bills of quantities and pricing schedules, obtaining and comparing supplier quotations, and maintaining accurate estimating records. You will help prepare tender submissions, cost plans and supporting documentation, ensuring all information is complete, clearly presented and submitted within agreed deadlines. You will also liaise with project managers, quantity surveyors, clients, suppliers and subcontractors to clarify requirements, resolve queries and ensure estimates reflect the proposed scope of work. Maintaining an up-to-date knowledge of material prices, labour rates and industry trends will be an important part of the role.
The successful candidate will have some experience in estimating, quantity surveying, construction or a related commercial environment, although applications from suitably qualified trainees and graduates will be considered. You should be confident working with numerical data, able to interpret technical drawings and specifications, and comfortable using Microsoft Office, particularly Excel. Experience with estimating or construction software would be advantageous. Strong attention to detail, good communication skills and the ability to manage competing priorities are essential. You will need to work methodically, demonstrate commercial awareness and contribute positively to a busy team while maintaining a high standard of accuracy and professionalism.
