About you

You will have substantial experience in an estimating role within the construction, engineering or building services sector, together with a strong understanding of relevant methods, materials and market conditions. A sound knowledge of procurement routes, contracts and commercial principles is essential.

You should be highly organised, commercially astute and confident working to demanding deadlines.
