Due to retirement the client is looking to recruit a freelance estimator on an ongoing basis. You must have a strong background in the aforementioned and a wealth of experience. Systems knowledge, Conquest, Causeway etc is not essential as the client is happy for the estimator to work in the style they are accustomed. The role is office based therefore would not suit an estimator who cant travel to West Yorkshire daily. There may be scope to work from home one day per week if essential. Please send a CV in the first instance. my client would consider full or part time options.
