Junior Estimator
Junior Estimator
An excellent opportunity has arisen for a motivated Junior Estimator to join a growing commercial team. This role would suit someone at the early stage of their estimating career who is keen to develop their technical knowledge, commercial awareness and understanding of project costs within a supportive environment.
Working alongside experienced estimators and project managers, you will assist with the preparation of accurate cost estimates and tenders for a range of projects. You will gain exposure to the full estimating process, from reviewing drawings and specifications through to preparing quotations and supporting handover to the delivery team.
Key responsibilities
- Review drawings, specifications, schedules and other project documentation.
- Assist with the measurement and pricing of materials, labour, plant and subcontract works.
- Prepare bills of quantities, take-offs, cost plans and tender submissions.
- Obtain and compare quotations from suppliers and subcontractors.

About you
You will ideally have some experience in an estimating, quantity surveying, construction or commercial environment, although applications from graduates and candidates with relevant vocational qualifications are welcomed. A keen eye for detail, strong numerical ability and a willingness to learn are essential.
You should be confident using Microsoft Office, particularly Excel, and comfortable working with spreadsheets and project documentation. Experience with estimating software or computer-aided design drawings would be advantageous, but full training can be provided. Strong communication and organisational skills are also important, together with the ability to manage competing priorities and work effectively as part of a team.
