Strong numerical and organisational skills are essential, together with excellent attention to detail and the ability to work under pressure. You will be comfortable using estimating software and Microsoft Office applications, particularly Excel. Experience of relevant industry standards, procurement processes and tendering procedures would be advantageous.
