About you If you are an Estimator with experience in commercial fit out and refurbishment and you are looking for somewhere you can develop your career, this could be a really good opportunity. You will be joining a construction business based in Birchwood, Warrington, working on office and industrial fit out projects ranging from £50,000 to £3 million. You will be working closely with the Commercial Director, giving you the opportunity to learn from someone experienced while taking responsibility for your own tenders. They are looking for someone who is driven, hardworking and wants to progress. You do not need to be the finished article, although you should already have a good understanding of estimating within the construction industry and be confident putting together tenders. The salary is £40,000 to £50,000 per annum, depending on experience. Your experience You will need previous experience working as an Estimator within construction, ideally with a background in commercial fit out, office refurbishment or industrial fit out. You should be comfortable reviewing drawings and specifications, carrying out take offs, obtaining subcontractor and supplier quotations and building up costs for tender submissions. Experience pricing projects within the £50,000 to £3 million range would be particularly relevant, although you do not necessarily need to have worked across that entire range. You will need to be commercially aware and understand the importance of putting together competitive tenders while protecting the business from unnecessary risk. Just as importantly, they want someone with the right attitude. You should be organised, willing to put the work in and keen to improve your knowledge. You will be working closely with the Commercial Director, so there is a good opportunity to develop your estimating skills and take on more responsibility as you progress. What you will be doing with your experience You will be involved in preparing estimates and tenders for office fit out, commercial refurbishment and industrial fit out projects. Projects range from around £50,000 to £3 million, giving you exposure to a good variety of schemes rather than repeatedly pricing the same type of work. You will review tender enquiries, drawings and specifications, carry out take offs and obtain prices from subcontractors and suppliers. You will then work through the costs, assess quotations and help put together accurate and competitive tender submissions. You will work closely with the Commercial Director throughout the process, discussing project requirements, reviewing costs and making sure tenders are commercially sensible. As you develop within the role, there will be an opportunity to take greater ownership of your tenders and become more involved in the wider commercial side of the business. This is a position where your contribution will be recognised and where there is an opportunity to build your experience rather than simply being responsible for pricing work and moving straight on to the next tender. About the business You will be joining an established construction business based in Birchwood, Warrington, delivering office and industrial fit out and refurbishment projects. The business works on projects ranging from £50,000 to £3 million, offering a varied workload across commercial and industrial environments. You will be working directly with the Commercial Director, which should appeal to someone who wants to learn, develop and have a clear opportunity to progress. They are looking for an Estimator who wants to build a longer term career with the business, someone who is prepared to work hard, take responsibility and grow with the team. If you have a good grounding in construction estimating and feel ready for a role where you can develop your experience and have more involvement, it is worth having a conversation. The salary is £40,000 to £50,000 per annum, depending on experience.
