We are seeking an organised and detail-oriented Assistant Estimator/Project Administrator to support plumbing and electrical construction projects from tender through to completion. This is an excellent opportunity for someone with construction administration, estimating, or project coordination experience who is keen to develop their technical and commercial skills in a fast-paced environment.

Working closely with estimators, project managers, subcontractors, suppliers, and clients, you will assist with reviewing drawings, specifications, scopes of work, and tender documentation. Your responsibilities will include preparing take-offs and quotations, obtaining supplier and subcontractor pricing, maintaining estimating records, comparing costs, updating spreadsheets, and helping to identify project risks and exclusions. You will also provide project administration support, including issuing purchase orders, preparing correspondence, maintaining registers, tracking variations, coordinating documentation, updating project schedules, and assisting with invoicing and progress claims. Accurate data entry, document control, and timely follow-up will be essential to the success of the role.

The successful candidate will have strong administrative and organisational skills, excellent attention to detail, and the ability to manage competing priorities. Previous experience in construction, plumbing, electrical services, estimating, project administration, or a related field is preferred. Familiarity with construction drawings, trade terminology, estimating processes, and relevant software such as Microsoft Excel, Word, Outlook, estimating platforms, or project management systems will be highly regarded. You will be a confident communicator who can build positive working relationships, work effectively both independently and as part of a team, and maintain a professional approach when dealing with deadlines and sensitive commercial information. A willingness to learn, take initiative, and contribute to the smooth delivery of projects is essential.
