  • Build accurate labour, material, plant, and resource rates from first principles.

  • 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.

  • 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.
