Estimator / QS – Joinery

I’m currently working exclusively with a well-established carpentry & joinery contractor who is looking to bring on an Estimator / Quantity Surveyor due to continued growth and a strong pipeline of secured work.

This is a key role within the business, managing multiple projects while also supporting estimating and tendering when capacity allows.

The Role:

* Preparing accurate cost estimates and managing budgets across multiple projects

* Measuring and valuing works on-site, including interim valuations and final accounts

* Procuring materials and subcontractors in line with programme and budget

* Running up to 5 projects at one time (£250k – £2m)

* Liaising with clients, site teams, and internal departments to ensure smooth delivery

* Monitoring costs, identifying risks, and reporting on variations

* Supporting estimating and tendering activities when required

What I’m Looking For:

* Proven experience as a Quantity Surveyor within carpentry & joinery (essential)

* Must come from a subcontractor background – no main contractor experience only

* Strong understanding of joinery manufacturing and installation processes

* Hands-on carpentry/joinery background is highly desirable

* Solid commercial awareness and strong negotiation skills

* Organised, proactive, and able to manage multiple projects simultaneously

What’s On Offer:

* £60,000 – £75,000 salary depending on experience

* Long-term opportunity with a growing, stable contractor

* Genuine autonomy within the role

* Excellent benefits package including:

* Workplace nursery scheme (tax-efficient childcare)

* Store discounts across hundreds of retailers

* Grocery and pension salary sacrifice schemes

* Flexible working hours (7:30–4:30 or 8:00–5:00)
