Cost Estimator II
We are seeking an experienced Cost Estimator II to prepare accurate, timely and commercially sound estimates for a range of projects and work packages. You will analyse drawings, specifications, schedules and other technical documentation to develop detailed cost plans, quotations and tender submissions. Working closely with project managers, engineers, procurement colleagues and suppliers, you will ensure that estimates reflect the required scope, current market conditions, labour, materials, plant, subcontractor costs, overheads and appropriate risk allowances.
Your responsibilities will include reviewing requests for quotation, identifying gaps or ambiguities in the scope, obtaining and evaluating supplier and subcontractor pricing, and maintaining clear records of assumptions, exclusions and revisions. You will participate in estimate reviews, support value engineering and change control activities, and provide cost advice throughout the project lifecycle. The role will also involve comparing actual costs with estimates, investigating variances and contributing to the continuous improvement of estimating processes, templates and cost databases. You will be expected to communicate your findings clearly and present estimates to internal and external stakeholders when required.
Applicants should have proven experience in estimating, cost engineering, quantity surveying or a related commercial discipline, ideally within a technical, construction, manufacturing, engineering or infrastructure environment. A relevant qualification or equivalent practical experience is desirable. You will need strong numerical and analytical skills, excellent attention to detail and the ability to interpret technical information. Confidence using Microsoft Excel and estimating, enterprise resource planning or cost-management systems is expected. The successful candidate will be organised, commercially aware and capable of managing competing deadlines while maintaining accuracy. You should also demonstrate sound judgement, effective negotiation and communication skills, and a collaborative approach to working with colleagues, clients, suppliers and subcontractors.
