Analyse tender documents, specifications, and drawings to develop comprehensive bill of quantities and cost plans.

Liaise with suppliers, subcontractors, and internal teams to obtain quotes, validate assumptions, and refine pricing.

Collaborate closely with Project Managers, QS professionals, and senior leadership to drive project success from pre-contract through award.

Skills & Experience

We’re looking for someone who brings:

Proven estimating experience within construction, ideally across fit-out, refurbishment, and new build sectors.

Strong knowledge of construction costing methods, measurement standards, and pricing strategies.

Excellent analytical skills with the ability to interpret complex technical information.

Proficiency with estimating software and MS Office suite.

Outstanding communication skills and an ability to build strong stakeholder relationships.
