Work closely with contractors, suppliers and internal operational teams to ensure projects are accurately costed and planned. Prepare relevant project documentation, including consideration of health & safety requirements and site restrictions. Ensure quotations are completed within agreed customer service levels and timescales. Maintain proactive communication with customers throughout the estimating process.
