Senior Estimator

Excellent opportunity for a Senior Estimator to join one of the UK's leading tier 1 main contractors within their construction division, working across major projects.

My client is a well sought after business, with a great reputation & impressive staff retention rate. As a Senior Estimator, you will play a key role in securing future work by leading the estimating process on a diverse portfolio of projects ranging from £20m to £500m+.
