Estimator

Contract Scotland

Estimator

A well-established general building and M&E contractor, based in Glasgow, is looking to appoint a dedicated Estimator to join their team.

The Role

You’ll take ownership of estimating schedule-of-rates work for smaller commercial and domestic jobs. These will include electrical, mechanical, repair & maintenance, renewables, insulation and upgrade works. Your estimates will enable the team to respond quickly and accurately to reactive and planned maintenance, renewal and retrofit projects. You will work closely with site and operations managers to ensure costs are well understood, and support other areas of the business as required during quieter periods.

What You’ll Be Doing

Preparing accurate estimates and costings using schedule of rates

Supporting project managers with pricing and commercial input

Assisting across other areas of the business during quieter periods

Working closely with the management team to ensure accurate and timely submissions

About You

This role would suit someone with a strong trade or technical background — ideally electrical — who has worked with schedule of rates before. You don’t necessarily need to have been an estimator before, but you will be commercially aware, confident with numbers, and able to bring practical site knowledge to the role. Some previous supervisory or management experience would also be useful.

What’s on Offer

Opportunity to join a growing and ambitious contractor

A varied role with scope to get involved across the business

Supportive team environment where your input will be valued

Competitive salary and benefits package, dependent on experience
