Overview:
An established and well-respected main contractor / Developer with a strong track record in residential refurbishment is looking to appoint an Estimator, ideally with a degree of Seniority. This is a newly released, business-critical role – offering the opportunity to make a real impact and shape how pre-construction is managed moving forward.
The Role:
This is a purely estimating role, sitting within the Commercial Department alongside the surveying and buying teams, and reporting directly to the Commercial Director.
*
Workload typically includes Kitchens, Bathrooms, Retrofit, externals, installations, and internal refit schemes, usually for Registered Providers and local councils
*
All projects are grant-funded, and the focus is on high-quality, cost-effective refurbishment solutions
*
Expect to manage around 5–6 tenders per year, with each typically taking around 2 months to price
*
Working from Bills of Quantities, you’ll play a key part in shaping the contractor’s bids for key frameworks and negotiated work
*
The company recognises the value of this role more each day — the current Surveyor is covering both roles, so there’s urgency to hire
Ideal Candidate:
*
A qualified and experienced Estimator, ideally with a background in social housing or public sector refurbishment
*
Comfortable working autonomously and contributing as part of a close-knit commercial team
*
Methodical, commercially minded, and experienced in pricing works on tight margins and fixed budgets

This is a financially backed business, partnered by one of UK's biggest and most succesful Main Contractors.
