Junior Estimator
Junior Estimator
An exciting opportunity is available for a motivated Junior Estimator to join a busy commercial team. This role would suit someone with an interest in construction, engineering, manufacturing or a related industry who is keen to develop their estimating and project cost management skills in a supportive environment.
Working alongside experienced estimators, project managers and suppliers, you will assist with preparing accurate quotations and tenders for a range of projects. You will gain practical experience in reviewing drawings and specifications, analysing costs and helping to ensure proposals are delivered on time and to a high standard.
Key responsibilities
- Review drawings, specifications, schedules and tender documents to understand project requirements.
- Assist with preparing detailed material, labour and subcontractor cost estimates.
- Obtain and compare supplier and subcontractor quotations.
- Maintain accurate records of pricing information, estimates and tender documentation.
- Support the preparation and submission of quotations within agreed deadlines.
- Liaise with internal teams, suppliers and subcontractors to clarify costs and technical details.
- Help identify potential risks, exclusions and areas requiring further investigation.
- Contribute to post-tender reviews and update estimating systems and databases.
About you
You will be organised, numerate and detail-focused, with the ability to manage competing priorities and work effectively to deadlines. Strong communication skills are essential, along with a willingness to ask questions, learn from experienced colleagues and build positive working relationships.
Previous experience in an estimating, commercial, purchasing or technical environment would be advantageous, although applications are welcomed from candidates with relevant qualifications and transferable skills. Familiarity with Microsoft Office, particularly Excel, is expected. Experience reading technical drawings or using estimating, costing or computer-aided design software would also be beneficial.
This is an excellent opportunity to develop a long-term career in estimating, with training, mentoring and exposure to a varied range of projects. A proactive attitude, commitment to accuracy and enthusiasm for learning are more important than extensive experience.
