Estimator
An experienced Estimator is required to support the preparation of accurate, competitive and commercially viable cost estimates for a varied range of projects. This is an excellent opportunity for a detail-focused professional who can interpret technical information, assess project requirements and produce clear quotations within agreed timescales.
Working closely with internal teams, suppliers, subcontractors and clients, you will help ensure that all estimates reflect the required scope, materials, labour, programme and commercial considerations. You will be expected to manage multiple enquiries at different stages, while maintaining a high standard of accuracy and professionalism.
Key responsibilities
- Review drawings, specifications, schedules and other project documentation to establish accurate requirements.
- Prepare detailed estimates, bills of quantities, cost plans and commercial proposals.
- Obtain and assess quotations from suppliers and subcontractors.
- Complete material, labour, plant and subcontractor take-offs.
- Identify risks, exclusions, assumptions and opportunities for cost savings.
- Liaise with project managers, engineers, procurement colleagues and clients to clarify scope and resolve queries.
- Maintain up-to-date records of estimates, revisions, costs and tender information.
- Support post-tender reviews, negotiations and handover of successful projects.
About you
You will have previous experience in an estimating, quantity surveying or commercial role, ideally within a construction, engineering, manufacturing or related environment. You should be confident working with technical drawings and pricing information, with strong numerical, analytical and organisational skills.
Proficiency with estimating software and Microsoft Office applications is desirable, alongside the ability to work effectively with spreadsheets and structured cost data. Excellent communication skills are essential, as is a methodical approach and the confidence to challenge information where necessary.
The successful candidate will be commercially aware, able to prioritise competing deadlines and committed to delivering accurate work. In return, you can expect a supportive working environment, opportunities for professional development and the chance to contribute to a range of interesting projects.
