Job Title: Estimator

Job Salary:  £48,000 - £52,000 + Pension

Location :  Flexible Office Location (Livingston, Manchester, Birmingham, London – Farringdon, Exeter)

Company Overview
Join a dynamic and ambitious contracting team within a market-leading European business with a AAA credit rating and revenues exceeding half a billion. With a strong foothold in the UK this is a business that’s scaling fast in the Facade's sector– and investing in its people every step of the way.

Your new role
As an Estimator, you’ll play a pivotal role in the pre-construction process, working closely with a collaborative team. You’ll be responsible for:

  • Reviewing incoming enquiries and tender documentation
  • Responding to customer queries and clarifying project requirements
  • Performing accurate take-offs from architectural drawings
  • Interpreting and understanding complex drawing packages
  • Liaising with suppliers and subcontractors to obtain competitive pricing
  • Understanding and compiling PI (Performance Information) packages
  • Pulling together full tender submissions and issuing them on time
  • Supporting the team in pre-contract meetings and negotiations

What you'll need to succeed
You’ll be detail-oriented, commercially aware, and confident working with drawings and technical documents. A background in façades or building envelopes is ideal, but not essential – what matters most is your ability to read between the lines, extract key information, and deliver accurate costings.

  • Proven experience in estimating, ideally in commercial or residential construction
  • Strong ability to read and interpret technical drawings
  • Experience with take-offs and supplier engagement
  • Excellent communication and organisational skills
  • A proactive, team-first mindset

What you'll get in return

  • Competitive salary of £45,000 - £50,000
  • Company pension scheme
  • Flexible working from any of their UK offices: Livingston, Manchester, Birmingham, London (Farringdon – just 2 stops from Euston), or Exeter
  • A young, ambitious, and supportive team environment
  • Real opportunities for career development in a growing business
  • A company that genuinely looks after its people
