Estimator
Estimator
An excellent opportunity is available for an experienced Estimator to join a busy and growing commercial team. This role will involve preparing accurate and competitive cost estimates for a range of projects, working closely with clients, suppliers, subcontractors and internal stakeholders to support successful tender submissions and project delivery.
The successful candidate will review drawings, specifications and client requirements, identify materials and labour needs, and develop detailed pricing information within agreed timescales. You will be expected to use your commercial judgement to assess risks, identify opportunities for value engineering and ensure that all quotations are clear, accurate and commercially viable.
Key responsibilities
- Preparing detailed estimates, tenders and quotations from initial enquiry through to submission.
- Reviewing technical drawings, schedules and specifications to determine project requirements.
- Obtaining and evaluating prices from suppliers and subcontractors.
- Completing material, labour and plant take-offs with a high level of accuracy.
- Maintaining organised records of costs, assumptions, revisions and tender documentation.
- Supporting the preparation of budgets, forecasts and commercial reports.
- Collaborating with project and operational teams to ensure estimates reflect delivery requirements.
- Identifying potential commercial risks and contributing to effective mitigation strategies.
About you
You will have previous experience in an estimating, quantity surveying or commercial role, ideally within a construction, engineering, manufacturing or related environment. Strong numerical and analytical skills are essential, together with the ability to interpret technical information and manage competing deadlines.
You should be confident using Microsoft Office, particularly Excel, and have experience working with estimating or project management software. Excellent communication skills are required, as you will liaise with a wide range of stakeholders and may be required to present estimates or clarify pricing assumptions.
In return, you can expect a supportive working environment, opportunities for professional development and the chance to contribute to a varied programme of work. If you are commercially aware, detail-focused and motivated to deliver high-quality estimates, this could be the next step in your career.
