Permanent | Full-time

Our client is looking for an ambitious Estimator who wants to build their career.

This is an opportunity to join a growing SME with ambitious plans, where you’ll have the chance to take real ownership of your work, develop your estimating skills and progress within the business.

Our client specialises in repairs, maintenance and first-fix works
, rather than major construction or new-build projects. The role will focus on smaller works, typically up to £15k at a high volume, giving you exposure to a varied range of projects and clients.

You’ll join a close-knit team and work alongside experienced colleagues, with a clear opportunity to develop as the business continues to grow.

• Challenging and refining scopes where required.

• Producing accurate and competitive quotations.

• Managing costs through the company's job tracking system.

• Working closely with coordinators, engineers and subcontractors to deliver a smooth process.

• Strong numerical and analytical ability.

• Excellent attention to detail.

• Good knowledge of Excel, Word and Outlook.

• Strong communication and organisational skills.

• A genuine desire to develop and progress your career.

New-build estimating experience alone is unlikely to be suitable
, as the focus is firmly on repairs, maintenance and fixing works.

This is a great opportunity for someone who has built a foundation of estimating experience and is now looking for the next step in their career
.

You'll be joining a growing business where your contribution will be recognised, with the opportunity to take on more responsibility as you develop. The role is expected to evolve alongside the business, making it well suited to someone who is ambitious and wants to grow with the company.

Benefits include:

• £28,500–£32,500 salary, with flexibility up to £40,000 for the right candidate.

• Clear progression opportunities.

• Company pension.

• Free parking.

• Growing SME environment.
