• Carry out take-offs and material quantification from drawings, specifications, and survey information, ensuring accuracy at every stage.
• Assist in the preparation of method statements, programmes, and supporting documentation for tender submissions.
• Liaise with supply chain, subcontractors, and internal teams to gather pricing and technical information required to complete bids.
• Maintain and update the pre-construction tracker, ensuring all live enquiries, deadlines, and submission statuses are accurately recorded.

• Assist with the handover of won projects to the delivery team, ensuring all pre construction information is transferred accurately.
• Develop your knowledge of passive fire protection systems, fire doors, fire stopping, and the compliance framework that underpins our work.
• Contribute to continuous improvement of the pre-construction process — including templates, pricing tools, and submission quality.

• An A-player mindset — high standards, extreme ownership and the drive to do things properly, the first time.
• Experience in a pre-construction, estimating, quantity surveying, or commercial support role within building fabric, passive fire, construction, or a closely related discipline.
• Ability to carry out accurate take-offs and quantification from drawings and specifications.
• Strong numerical and analytical skills — comfortable working with pricing data, cost summaries, and tender documents.
• Highly organised with strong attention to detail — able to manage multiple live bids simultaneously and meet submission deadlines without dropping the ball.
• Good communication skills — able to liaise professionally with clients, supply chain, and internal colleagues.
• Proficient in Microsoft 365 — particularly Excel, Outlook, and Word.
• Yeovil office-based or within commutable distance of the South West, and available full time.
• Full UK driving licence.
