* Engaging with subcontractors and suppliers to obtain competitive quotes

* Supporting bid submissions and tender documentation

* Working closely with operational and commercial teams throughout pre-construction

Estimator – Requirements:

* Proven experience as an Estimator within construction

* Must have refurbishment and/or fit out experience (non-new build essential)

* Strong ability in take-offs, measuring, and pricing

* Good commercial awareness and attention to detail

* Ideally some existing supply chain contacts

* Able to work independently and manage multiple tenders

Estimator – Why Apply?

* 3 days remote working – genuine flexibility, not just talk

* Varied project portfolio (£100k–£4m)

* Strong pipeline of secured and upcoming work

* Growing, forward-thinking contractor

* Clear progression as the business continues to expand
