Preconstruction Piping Estimator

An experienced Preconstruction Piping Estimator is required to support the successful delivery of complex industrial and commercial projects. This role will suit a technically minded estimating professional with a strong background in piping systems, mechanical services or process engineering, who can produce accurate, competitive and well-evidenced estimates from initial concept through to tender submission.

Working closely with preconstruction, design, procurement and project delivery teams, you will assess client requirements, interpret drawings and specifications, and develop detailed cost plans. You will contribute commercial insight at an early stage, helping to identify opportunities, manage risk and ensure that proposed solutions are practical, compliant and deliverable.

Key responsibilities

  • Review piping drawings, specifications, schedules and tender documentation.
  • Prepare detailed estimates, bills of quantities and cost plans for piping and associated mechanical works.
  • Complete accurate material, labour, plant and subcontractor assessments.
  • Obtain and evaluate supplier and subcontractor quotations, ensuring suitable scope coverage.
  • Identify exclusions, assumptions, risks, opportunities and potential value-engineering options.
  • Collaborate with design and engineering teams to resolve technical queries and clarify requirements.
  • Maintain estimating records, databases and benchmark information to support future bids.
  • Assist with tender reviews, pricing submissions and handover to the project delivery team.

About you

You will have proven experience estimating piping or mechanical projects, ideally within industrial, process, energy, utilities, manufacturing or construction environments. A sound understanding of piping materials, fabrication, installation methods, testing requirements and relevant industry standards is essential.

You should be confident working from incomplete or evolving information, have excellent attention to detail and be capable of managing multiple deadlines. Strong numerical, analytical and communication skills are required, together with proficiency in estimating software and Microsoft Excel. Experience with digital measurement or quantity take-off tools would be advantageous.

This is an excellent opportunity to join a collaborative preconstruction function where your expertise will directly influence project strategy, commercial performance and successful tender outcomes.
