Project Estimator
We are seeking an experienced Project Estimator to prepare accurate, competitive and commercially sound estimates for a range of projects. This role will suit someone with strong analytical skills, excellent attention to detail and the confidence to work with colleagues, suppliers and clients throughout the estimating process.
You will review drawings, specifications, schedules and other project information to develop detailed cost estimates and prepare clear tender submissions. Working closely with project managers, design teams and procurement colleagues, you will help ensure that costs, risks, resources and timescales are properly considered before work commences.
Key responsibilities
- Review project briefs, drawings, specifications and schedules to establish scope and requirements.
- Prepare accurate estimates, quotations, bills of quantities and tender documentation.
- Obtain and assess quotations from suppliers and subcontractors.
- Identify exclusions, assumptions, risks and potential cost-saving opportunities.
- Maintain estimating records, pricing databases and supporting documentation.
- Collaborate with internal teams to clarify technical and commercial details.
- Support the handover of successful projects to delivery teams.
- Monitor market conditions, material prices and labour rates to maintain reliable estimates.
About you
You will have previous experience in estimating, quantity surveying, commercial management or a related project environment. A sound understanding of construction, engineering, manufacturing or another relevant sector is desirable, together with the ability to interpret technical information and commercial documentation.
You should be confident using Microsoft Excel and estimating or enterprise resource planning systems. Strong numerical and organisational skills are essential, as is the ability to manage competing deadlines while maintaining accuracy. Excellent written and verbal communication skills will enable you to present your findings clearly and build effective working relationships.
In return, this opportunity offers a varied workload, professional development and the chance to contribute to projects from the earliest planning stages through to successful delivery.
