Estimating Manager
SALARY:
Up to £80,000
LOCATION:
Edinburgh
Are you passionate about precision, innovation, and delivering first-class structural steel solutions?
We're representing a highly regarded, forward-thinking steel fabrication business with an outstanding reputation across major infrastructure. With a strong pipeline of high-profile work, they are now seeking an Estimating Manager to lead and shape their estimating function.
This is a genuine opportunity to build the division in your own image, with autonomy, ownership, and board-level visibility.
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
Lead and develop the estimating division, implementing robust processes, strategy, and controls.
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.
Oversee pricing strategy and value engineering.
Mentor and support junior estimators.
Collaborate with senior leadership on pipeline, forecasting, and business strategy.
About You
Proven leadership experience in estimating 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, driven, and capable of building and shaping a high-performing division.
What's on Offer
The opportunity to lead and own the estimating function.
Salary £60,000 - £90,000 depending on experience.
Long-term career progression within a business with a secure project pipeline.
Hybrid flexibility for the right candidate.
