Senior Estimator
SALARY: £60,000 - £75,000 (DOE)
LOCATION:
Edinburgh area
Are you an experienced structural steel estimator looking for your next challenge?
We're representing a highly regarded, forward-thinking steel fabrication business with an outstanding reputation across major infrastructure and a strong pipeline of high-profile work. They're looking for a Senior Estimator to take ownership of estimating activity on large-scale structural steel packages, working directly with Tier 1 main contractors on bids, tenders, and negotiated projects.
There's genuine scope here to grow the role - for the right person, this could develop into leading and shaping the estimating function, with real autonomy and input at senior level.
Working arrangement is primarily on-site, with hybrid working potentially available for the right candidate - a set-up that would need to work for both you and the client, so this is one to discuss directly rather than assume.
The Role
Take full ownership of estimating activity across large-scale infrastructure and structural steel packages.
Work closely with Tier 1 main contractors on bids, tenders, and negotiated projects.
Support pricing strategy and value engineering.
Mentor junior estimators as part of the wider team.
Collaborate with senior leadership on pipeline and forecasting.
Scope to take on leadership of the estimating division as the role develops, for candidates ready for that step.
About You
Proven experience as a Senior Estimator within the structural steel sector.
Confident dealing with Tier 1 contractors and familiar with their processes.
Strong understanding of take-offs, pricing strategy, and tender submissions.
Commercially astute with the ability to protect margin while remaining competitive.
Ambitious and driven - whether you want to stay hands-on at senior level or grow into leading the function, this role can flex to suit.
What's on Offer
Salary £60,000 - £90,000 depending on experience.
Long-term career progression within a business with a secure project pipeline.
Genuine opportunity to grow into an Estimating Manager role, for those who want it.
Hybrid flexibility for the right candidate.
