Estimator, Design & Architecture, CAD​/ AutoCAD​/ Mechanical Design

The projects priced here are rarely off-the-shelf.

They are the staircases that define an entrance, the balustrades people notice, the feature steelwork that architects sketch long before anyone knows how it will be built.

From bespoke metalwork packages to complex architectural steel installations, this business turns ambitious designs into practical, buildable solutions.

With a strong pipeline of enquiries, they are looking for an Estimator who can see beyond the drawings, understand the fabrication process, and build commercially sound tenders that win work.

You’ll work closely with clients, designers, engineers and fabrication teams to make sure every estimate balances creativity, practicality and cost.

• Prepare detailed estimates and tender submissions for architectural steelwork packages
• Review architectural drawings, specifications and enquiry documentation
• Complete material take-offs for bespoke metalwork including staircases, balustrades, feature steelwork and façades
• Obtain and evaluate quotations from suppliers and subcontractors
• Identify risks, opportunities and value engineering options during the tender stage
• Support the handover of successful projects to delivery teams

• Previous estimating experience within architectural steelwork or metalwork
• Strong understanding of fabrication processes for bespoke metalwork packages
• Ability to interpret architectural and engineering drawings
• Experience producing accurate material take-offs and cost breakdowns
• Good understanding of fabrication and installation methods

• Experience pricing complex architectural features and bespoke packages
• Familiarity with estimating software and digital take-off tools
• Experience working directly with architects, designers and main contractors

• Opportunity to work on high-profile architectural projects across multiple sectors
• Involvement from initial enquiry through to project handover
• Varied workload with a mix of bespoke and technically challenging packages
• Close collaboration with design, fabrication and delivery teams
• Competitive salary and benefits package

If you enjoy turning ambitious concepts into commercially viable projects and want to work on steelwork that people actually notice, apply today for a confidential conversation about the business, the projects and the opportunities ahead.
