Senior Estimator
We are seeking an experienced Senior Estimator to join a busy commercial team and support the successful delivery of a diverse portfolio of projects. This is an excellent opportunity for a technically strong and commercially minded professional who can produce accurate estimates, manage tender processes and help shape competitive, deliverable proposals.
Reporting to the commercial lead, you will work closely with clients, consultants, suppliers, subcontractors and internal stakeholders. You will be responsible for assessing project requirements, identifying risks and ensuring that all estimates are prepared to a consistently high standard and within agreed deadlines.
Key responsibilities
- Review drawings, specifications, scopes of work and other tender documentation.
- Prepare detailed cost estimates, bills of quantities and pricing schedules.
- Obtain and analyse quotations from suppliers and subcontractors.
- Identify opportunities, exclusions, risks and potential commercial savings.
- Attend tender meetings, site visits and clarification discussions as required.
- Collaborate with project, design and procurement teams to develop robust proposals.
- Maintain accurate records of costs, assumptions, amendments and tender submissions.
- Support post-tender negotiations, value engineering and handover to the delivery team.
- Contribute to improving estimating processes, systems and reporting.
About you
You will have substantial experience in an estimating role, ideally within construction, engineering, fit-out or a related sector. You should be confident interpreting technical information and using relevant estimating, pricing or measurement software. Strong numerical skills, commercial awareness and excellent attention to detail are essential.
The successful candidate will be organised, proactive and comfortable managing multiple tenders simultaneously. You will communicate clearly with a wide range of stakeholders and be able to explain complex cost information in a concise and practical manner. A relevant qualification in quantity surveying, construction, engineering or a related discipline would be advantageous, as would membership of a professional body.
In return, this role offers the opportunity to work on varied projects, develop your commercial expertise and make a meaningful contribution within a collaborative and forward-thinking environment.
