Construction Estimator – Residential

by

Construction Estimator – Residential

  • Norfolk | £65,000 – £75,000 per annum plus excellent benefits
  • Contract: Permanent | Full Time
  • Location: Fully Onsite

Our client is a highly respected construction company renowned for delivering exceptional luxury residential projects across Norfolk. With a reputation for outstanding craftsmanship, attention to detail, and exceptional client service, they are seeking an experienced Senior Construction Estimator to strengthen their growing pre-construction team.

This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced estimator who enjoys the challenge of pre-construction planning and pricing. Whilst candidates with a residential construction background are preferred, applications are welcomed from estimators with experience across other construction sectors who can demonstrate the right mindset, attention to detail, and commercial awareness.

Working as part of a close-knit and highly collaborative team, you will take ownership of the estimating function, producing accurate and commercially viable cost estimates for a range of prestigious construction projects. This is a role that offers significant autonomy and trust from the Directors, making it well suited to someone who thrives on responsibility and enjoys managing their own workload.

The Role:
As Construction Estimator, you will be responsible for preparing detailed cost estimates and tender submissions, ensuring projects are accurately planned and budgeted from the outset. The role is heavily focused on pre-construction estimating, and the successful candidate must be happy specialising in this area rather than progressing into project management or quantity surveying responsibilities.

A key aspect of the position is the ability to develop and build project rates from first principles. Unlike many contractors, our client employs a large in-house workforce and does not heavily rely on subcontractors, so a strong understanding of labour productivity, construction methodologies, and resource planning is essential.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Prepare detailed cost estimates and tender submissions for construction projects.
  • Review architectural drawings, specifications, and project documentation to assess costs and resource requirements.
  • Build accurate labour, material, plant, and resource rates from first principles.
  • Produce commercially sound pricing using established cost benchmarks and market intelligence.
  • Work closely with Directors and project teams to develop competitive and profitable bids.
  • Assess project risks and opportunities and provide value engineering recommendations where appropriate.
  • Obtain and evaluate supplier and subcontractor quotations where required.
  • Monitor market trends, material costs, and labour rates.
  • Present detailed cost breakdowns and tender reports to senior management and clients.
  • Support budgeting, forecasting, and pre-construction planning activities.
  • Manage multiple tenders and deadlines effectively while maintaining exceptional accuracy and attention to detail.

What They’re Looking For:

  • Proven experience as a Senior Estimator or Estimator within the construction industry.
  • Residential construction experience is highly desirable, particularly within high-end or bespoke residential projects, although candidates from other construction sectors will also be considered.
  • Strong understanding of construction methods, materials, labour productivity, and project costing.
  • Experience creating rates and pricing projects from first principles.
  • Excellent commercial awareness and understanding of project finance and cost control.
  • Strong proficiency in estimating software and Microsoft Excel.
  • Exceptional attention to detail with a meticulous approach to work.
  • Excellent organisational, time management, and workload prioritisation skills.
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities.
  • A proactive and self-motivated approach with the confidence to work independently.
  • Excellent communication and relationship-building skills.
  • A personable and professional individual who can build strong working relationships with colleagues, clients, suppliers, and consultants.

Why Apply?

  • Competitive salary of £65,000 – £75,000 per annum.
  • Benefits package including:
    • Company Car
    • Private Medical Insurance
    • Company Pension Scheme
    • Gym Membership
    • Health & Wellbeing Programme
  • Join a well-established and highly regarded construction company.
  • Work on prestigious and architecturally impressive projects across Norfolk.
  • Enjoy a role with genuine autonomy and influence within the business.
  • Be part of a supportive, collaborative, and sociable team culture that regularly comes together outside of work.
  • Excellent opportunities for long-term career development and progression.

If you are an experienced estimator looking for a rewarding pre-construction role where your expertise, commercial insight, and attention to detail will be valued, we would love to hear from you.

Please contact Louisa Coggs on 07341 497822 or email louisacoggs@major-recruitment.com

Business Development Manager

Business Development Manager

£40,000-£60,000 DOE + Uncapped Bonus + Company Vehicle/Car Allowance | UK-Wide | Flexible Home-Based

An exciting opportunity to build something from the ground up

A growing, independent tool hire company is looking for an ambitious and commercially driven Business Development Manager to help grow its UK-wide Cross Hire & Brokerage operation.

The company has built an excellent reputation for service, reliability and going the extra mile for customers. With a substantial owned fleet, experienced hire controllers and strong technical knowledge, it offers something different from a traditional brokerage business – it understands hire from the ground up.

The business is now investing in the continued growth of its cross-hire and brokerage operation and is looking for someone who can help take it to the next level.

The opportunity

This is not simply a sales role.

The successful candidate will have the autonomy and freedom to develop new relationships, win new business, expand the supplier network and shape the future direction of the brokerage division.

The role will suit someone with cross-hire experience within small tools, plant or equipment hire who understands how the industry works and already has strong customer and supplier relationships.

However, the company is also open to candidates from other industries who can demonstrate a strong track record in business development, relationship management and winning new customers.

The role

As Business Development Manager, the successful candidate will be responsible for:

  • Growing the national customer base for cross-hire and brokerage services.
  • Identifying and securing new business opportunities across construction, infrastructure, facilities management and related sectors.
  • Developing relationships with contractors, procurement teams and industry contacts.
  • Managing and expanding existing customer accounts.
  • Building and maintaining strong supplier relationships across the UK.
  • Coordinating equipment supply through the company’s supplier network and owned fleet.
  • Working closely with experienced hire controllers to deliver the right solutions for customers.
  • Negotiating rates, terms and agreements to maximise profitability and customer value.
  • Identifying new markets and opportunities for growth.

The ideal candidate

The company is ideally seeking an experienced Business Development Manager or Sales professional from the tool hire, plant hire, equipment hire or construction sectors, particularly someone with experience of cross hire.

The successful candidate will ideally bring:

  • Proven experience in business development and new business generation.
  • Knowledge of the UK hire, plant or equipment market.
  • An established network of industry contacts.
  • A strong track record of growing customer accounts.
  • Excellent communication and relationship-building skills.
  • Strong commercial awareness and negotiation ability.
  • A proactive, self-motivated and independent approach.
  • A solution-focused mindset.
  • A full UK driving licence.

Candidates without direct hire experience will also be considered if they can demonstrate the commercial ability, drive and relationship-building skills required to succeed in the role.

What’s on offer?

  • £40,000-£60,000 salary, depending on experience.
  • Uncapped bonus linked to performance and growth.
  • Company vehicle or car allowance.
  • Flexible home-based working with national travel.
  • 25 days’ holiday plus bank holidays.
  • Enhanced contributory Workplace Pension.
  • Health Cash Plan with virtual GP service.

Make the role your own

This is a genuine opportunity for an ambitious Business Development Manager to make a mark.

The successful candidate will have the freedom to develop their own approach, build a national network, influence the direction of the Cross Hire & Brokerage division and play a key role in the company’s continued growth.

For someone who understands hire, knows how to build relationships and enjoys creating opportunities where others see obstacles, this could be an exciting next step.

If that sounds like you, we’d love to hear from you.
