Permanent
Senior Estimator
Reinforced Concrete Frame & Groundwork Subcontractor – One of the best!
Essex Office
£70,000 to £100,000 plus benefits (depending on experience)
The Employer:
Currently operating with a turnover around £130 million per annum, this privately owned specialist concrete frame & groundwork subcontractor builds packages ranging from £5 million up to £50 million each. Their client base is a mixture of residential developers but they have plans in place to break into the commercial main contract market very soon.
I am watching this business go from strength to strength, reinvesting constantly, creating a stronger and stronger brand in the market. Clients are coming back for repeat works and new clients are knocking on their door because of the way they work and the reputation they have developed. Because of this they are attracting some of the best talent in the market, and with plans to grow towards £200m turnover, options still exist for people to progress in their career into senior positions. They really are one to watch and one to speak with if you’re considering career options now.
