Visiting prospective projects and developing logistics and traffic management plans. Producing RFIs, cashflow forecasts and cost models. Providing comprehensive handovers to the Operations team. Supporting Quantity Surveyors and Project Managers throughout live projects. Carrying out post-project reviews to improve future tender submissions. Maintaining accurate estimating data and CRM records. Attending client meetings, presentations and tender debriefs. Ensuring compliance with company procedures and health & safety requirements. Why this role stands out This is an opportunity to join a contractor that's moving forwards, not standing still.

After settling into the role, there's flexibility to work from home one or two days a week, alongside a collaborative office environment where your experience and ideas will be valued. If you're looking for a position where you can combine hands-on estimating with leadership, while helping shape the future of an ambitious and expanding contractor, this is well worth a conversation.
