An established and growing construction subcontractor is looking to appoint a Sales & Estimating Administrator to support its commercial team during a period of transition and growth. This role initially covers a maternity leave, with a clear longer-term opportunity to develop into an Estimator role for the right individual.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone highly organised, detail-driven and comfortable working in a quiet, professional, “heads-down” office environment. You’ll play a pivotal role in keeping sales and estimating processes running smoothly, acting as a central point of contact for both customers and suppliers.

Working closely with the sales and estimating teams, your focus will be on administration, coordination and organisation
, enabling the wider team to focus on winning and delivering work.

Key responsibilities will include:

• Filtering and setting up incoming enquiries onto the CRM system
• Managing electronic filing of documents, drawings and specifications
• Identifying missing or incomplete information and liaising with clients to resolve this
• Obtaining supplier quotations and preparing quote schedules
• Managing quote priorities on behalf of the estimators
• Maintaining and updating CRM records and sales documentation
• Setting up secured orders on internal systems
• Providing ad hoc administrative support to sales and estimating teams
• Supporting business development activity
• Producing project presentations and PowerPoint materials
• Organising CPD presentations for architects and contractors

You’ll thrive in this role if you are highly organised, proactive and self-motivated
, with the confidence to manage multiple priorities at once.

You’ll ideally bring:

• Previous experience in a customer-focused administrative role
• Strong IT skills, particularly across Microsoft Office 365 (Outlook, Excel, Word)
• Experience using CRM systems or similar databases
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
• Strong attention to detail and a problem-solving mindset
• The ability to work calmly to deadlines across multiple projects
• A flexible, “can-do” attitude and strong team ethic

Experience with in the construction industry would be beneficial, but is not essential - attitude, organisation and willingness to learn are key.

This is a quiet, professional and highly collaborative working environment
, suited to individuals who are comfortable working independently and taking pride in being reliable and organised. Longer term, this role offers genuine progression into estimating
, making it ideal for someone looking to build a career rather than take a short-term stopgap role.
