EXPERIENCED Estimator
We are seeking an experienced Estimator to join a busy and growing team, supporting the preparation of accurate and commercially competitive quotations. This is an excellent opportunity for a capable estimating professional who can manage multiple enquiries, interpret technical information and develop costs from initial brief through to final submission. The successful candidate will work closely with clients, suppliers, project managers and operational teams to ensure proposals are realistic, profitable and delivered within agreed timescales.
Responsibilities will include reviewing drawings, specifications, schedules and other tender documentation; preparing detailed cost estimates and bills of quantities; obtaining and assessing supplier and subcontractor quotations; identifying risks, exclusions, assumptions and opportunities; and producing clear, professional tender submissions. You will maintain accurate estimating records, update pricing information and support post-tender negotiations and handovers. The role will also involve attending site visits and pre-tender meetings where required, contributing to value engineering exercises and ensuring all estimates comply with relevant standards, procedures and commercial objectives.
Applicants should have proven experience in an estimating role, ideally within construction, engineering, manufacturing or a related technical environment. Strong numerical, analytical and problem-solving skills are essential, along with the ability to read technical drawings and understand specifications. You will be confident using estimating, spreadsheet and document-management software, with excellent attention to detail and the ability to prioritise work under pressure. Clear communication and effective negotiation skills are important, as is a commercially aware and methodical approach. A relevant technical or commercial qualification would be advantageous, although demonstrable industry experience will also be considered. In return, you can expect a supportive working environment, varied projects and the opportunity to develop your career within a professional and collaborative team.
