Senior Estimator

An experienced Senior Estimator is required to support the successful delivery of a diverse portfolio of projects. This is an excellent opportunity for a commercially focused professional with strong technical knowledge, sound judgement and the ability to produce accurate, competitive estimates within demanding timescales.

Working closely with operational, commercial and supply chain teams, you will take responsibility for preparing tenders and cost plans from initial enquiry through to submission. You will interpret drawings, specifications and client requirements, identify risks and opportunities, and ensure all pricing is robust, fully documented and aligned with project objectives.

Key responsibilities

  • Lead the preparation of detailed estimates, budgets and tender submissions.
  • Review project documentation, including drawings, scopes of work, schedules and specifications.
  • Obtain and analyse subcontractor and supplier quotations, challenging assumptions where appropriate.
  • Undertake quantity take-offs, cost analysis and value engineering assessments.
  • Identify commercial, technical and programme risks, recommending suitable mitigation measures.
  • Prepare clear tender qualifications, exclusions, clarifications and supporting documentation.
  • Collaborate with project teams to ensure estimates are practical, deliverable and commercially sound.
  • Maintain accurate records of pricing information, market conditions and historical project data.
  • Contribute to post-tender reviews and lessons-learned activities to improve future estimating performance.

About you

You will have substantial experience in estimating within a construction, engineering, manufacturing or related project environment. You should be confident working with complex information, managing multiple deadlines and presenting pricing recommendations to internal and external stakeholders.

Strong numerical, analytical and communication skills are essential, together with excellent attention to detail. Experience using estimating, cost management or project management software will be advantageous. A relevant technical, commercial or industry qualification is desirable, although equivalent practical experience will be considered.

This role offers the opportunity to influence major projects, develop effective commercial strategies and work within a professional, collaborative environment. A proactive approach, commitment to quality and ability to build trusted working relationships will be key to your success.
