Job Title: Senior Estimator Location: Peterborough Salary: 45,000 - 55,000 per annum DOE Job type: Full Time, Permanent About Westone: Westone is an established regional building contractor delivering projects across insurance reinstatement, public sector frameworks, refurbishment, extensions, void programmes and specialist remedial works. We operate with structured operational processes, defined compliance standards and clear reporting lines. The business has achieved sustained growth across multiple divisions and is now strengthening its pre-construction capability to improve commercial control, reduce downstream queries and support continued expansion. About The Role: We are seeking an experienced Estimator capable of pricing projects typically ranging between 50,000 and 500,000 across a varied refurbishment and framework portfolio. Workstreams include domestic refurbishments, extensions and renovations, insurance reinstatement schemes, kitchen and bathroom frameworks, aids and adaptations programmes, damp and mould remediation works and void property frameworks. Reporting directly to the Operations Director, you will take ownership of the estimating process from initial scope interrogation through to submission and structured handover. This will involve undertaking site surveys where required (using company pool vehicles), interrogating drawings and specifications, securing aligned supplier and subcontractor quotations, and building detailed cost plans within a heavily Excel-based pricing environment. This role carries clear commercial accountability. You will be expected to identify risk early, define assumptions properly, challenge scope where required and structure submissions in a way that protects margin and reduces post-award clarification. A key measure of success will be the quality of project handover to the delivery team - ensuring all packages, partnerships and commercial expectations are aligned prior to mobilisation. Estimating within Westone is viewed as the foundation of controlled project delivery, not simply rate inputting. What Success Looks Like: Within the first 12 months, you will have contributed to: A measurable reduction in post-award commercial queries Improved clarity of scope at mobilisation stage Stronger supplier alignment prior to project start Maintenance and protection of target margins Consistency in framework pricing submissions Responsibilities: Complete works to a high standard, first-time fix where possible Follow provided scopes and raise any additional works/variations promptly before proceeding Maintain strong customer service standards on occupied properties Provide progress updates, photos, and completion evidence Ensure reminders and safety controls are followed (RAMS/CPP/site rules where relevant) Keep tools, vehicle, and PPE in good working order Candidate Profile: You will have demonstrable experience pricing construction projects within the 50k- 500k range, ideally within refurbishment, insurance or framework-led environments. A HNC or HND in a construction-related discipline is essential, with RICS or MCIOB membership advantageous. Strong Excel capability is critical, as pricing and cost modelling are heavily spreadsheet-led. You should be commercially confident, numerically precise and comfortable presenting and defending your pricing rationale to senior management. This role requires someone who can manage their own workload, operate at pace and take ownership of commercial outcomes. A full UK driving licence is required.
