Are you a recent graduate in Maths, Finance, or Construction (or about to graduate)? Do you have a head for numbers, a keen eye for detail, and the ambition to kickstart your career in the construction industry?

I'm recruiting for a fantastic opportunity with a leading national housebuilder who are looking to bring in an Assistant Estimator to join their Preconstruction team in Leeds.

What's in it for you?
This is an employer that invests in their people from day one. You'll benefit from structured training, a friendly and collaborative team, and a career pathway that will see you progress quickly if you put the work in. Alongside a competitive salary, the benefits package includes:
