- Supporting post-tender discussions and handovers to the delivery team.

You will have previous experience in an estimating, quantity surveying or cost-planning role, ideally within a construction, engineering, manufacturing or related environment. You should be confident working with technical documentation and cost data, with strong numerical ability and excellent attention to detail.
Proficiency with Microsoft Office, particularly Excel, is required, and experience using estimating, pricing or computer-aided design software would be advantageous. You will be organised, commercially aware and able to prioritise effectively when working to tight deadlines.
