Construction Estimator
Construction Estimator
We are seeking an experienced Construction Estimator to prepare accurate, competitive and commercially sound estimates for a range of construction projects. This is an excellent opportunity for a detail-focused professional who can interpret technical information, assess project risks and contribute to successful tender submissions.
The Role
You will work closely with project managers, surveyors, suppliers and subcontractors to develop comprehensive cost estimates from initial enquiry through to contract award. You will be expected to review drawings, specifications and schedules, ensuring that all pricing reflects the scope, programme and delivery requirements.
- Preparing detailed estimates, quotations and tender submissions for construction projects.
- Analysing drawings, bills of quantities, specifications and other project documentation.
- Obtaining and evaluating quotations from suppliers and subcontractors.
- Identifying project risks, exclusions, assumptions and potential cost savings.
- Maintaining accurate estimating records and updating cost databases.
- Supporting value engineering, procurement planning and budget preparation.
- Presenting estimates clearly and responding to client or internal queries.
- Reviewing completed projects to improve future estimating accuracy.
About You
You will have previous experience in a construction estimating, quantity surveying or commercial role, ideally within a building, civil engineering, fit-out or related environment. A strong understanding of construction methods, materials, labour costs and subcontractor pricing is essential.
You should be confident working with spreadsheets and estimating software, with excellent numerical, analytical and organisational skills. The ability to interpret technical drawings, manage competing deadlines and communicate effectively with colleagues and external contacts is also important. A relevant qualification in quantity surveying, construction management or a related discipline would be advantageous, although equivalent practical experience will be considered.
What’s on Offer
You will join a professional and collaborative working environment offering varied projects, opportunities for career development and a competitive salary package. The role may suit an experienced Estimator or a Quantity Surveyor looking to focus more extensively on pre-construction and tendering.
