Estimator - Main Contractor
London | Permanent | £50,000-£90,000 DOE | Career Progression
A growing main contractor is looking to appoint an experienced Estimator to join its commercial/pre-construction team on a long-term basis.
You'll be joining a busy team with a strong pipeline of work and will have the opportunity to take responsibility for multiple tenders at different stages.
The role will typically involve managing around 3-4 live tenders at any one time, working closely with the wider commercial and operational teams to develop competitive and commercially sound bids.
Key Responsibilities

Managing and pricing live tenders from enquiry through to submission
Taking ownership of multiple tenders simultaneously
Preparing detailed and accurate estimates
Reviewing drawings, specifications and tender documentation
Obtaining and analysing subcontractor and supplier quotations
Working closely with commercial and operational teams
Identifying risks, opportunities and commercial considerations
Maintaining accurate estimating spreadsheets and cost plans
Supporting the wider pre-construction process
Building strong relationships with subcontractors and suppliers
They are open to candidates from Intermediate Estimator through to Senior Estimator level, with the ideal candidate likely to have around 5 years+ experience within the construction industry.
You'll ideally have:

Strong estimating experience within a main contracting environment
Experience working on live tenders
Excellent Excel and spreadsheet skills
Strong commercial awareness
The ability to manage multiple tenders and competing deadlines
Confidence working independently and taking ownership
Strong attention to detail
Good communication and negotiation skills
Ambition to progress within a growing business
Salary & Progression
£50,000-£90,000 depending on level and experience.
The business is looking for someone who wants to become an important part of the team rather than simply move for the next short-term opportunity.
If you're an Estimator who is commercially strong, confident managing tenders independently and ready to take greater ownership of the pre-construction process, this could be an excellent next move
