About the Company

The business is a specialist roofing contractor delivering high-performance roofing and waterproofing solutions throughout London and the South East. Its work covers commercial, industrial and public-sector developments, with experience delivering both new-build and refurbishment schemes.

Their roofing capability includes built-up felt, single-ply, green and blue roofing, leadwork, slating and tiling, alongside specialist roofing packages for data centres and mission-critical projects.

Its wider project portfolio includes data centres, healthcare facilities, residential developments and public buildings. The business also holds Constructionline Gold, CHAS and NFRC accreditation.

Why Join Them

For an experienced estimator, the attraction is the variety and technical depth of the work. Rather than pricing one narrow type of roofing project, you will be working around a business delivering multiple roofing and waterproofing systems across a varied project portfolio.

The Roofing Estimator will also be joining a contractor accustomed to the standards, technical requirements and commercial expectations involved in working with major main contractors on complex projects.

About the Role

As Roofing Estimator, you will be responsible for assessing roofing opportunities and producing accurate, commercially considered estimates and tender submissions.

Key responsibilities will centre around:

*

Reviewing drawings, specifications and tender information

*

Producing accurate estimates for roofing and waterproofing packages

*

Carrying out take-offs and assessing labour and material requirements

*

Obtaining and reviewing supplier and subcontractor pricing where required

*

Preparing quotations and tender submissions

*

Working with the wider team to ensure successfully secured projects are handed over effectively

Candidate Background

The position is likely to suit someone already estimating within the roofing industry who understands the practical and commercial considerations involved in pricing roofing packages.

You should ideally have:

*

Previous estimating experience within roofing or a closely related specialist subcontracting environment

*

Good knowledge of roofing systems and construction methods

*

Experience reading drawings, specifications and tender documentation

*

The ability to produce accurate and commercially sensible estimates

*

A practical understanding of materials, labour requirements and project costs

Experience across flat roofing, single-ply, built-up felt, green roofs, pitched roofing or associated waterproofing systems would be particularly relevant.

Summary

This is a good opportunity for a Roofing Estimator who wants to work within a specialist roofing business delivering a genuinely varied range of projects and roofing systems.

You will have an important role in pricing and securing future work while working within a contractor experienced in delivering demanding roofing packages for major construction clients.
