Some estimating roles drain your time.
This one amplifies your impact.
You ll be joining a privately owned design & build main contractor based in Bromsgrove stepping into a collaborative, well-supported pre-construction environment where specialists handle the heavy measurement, and you focus on strategy, pricing and winning the right work.
This is a Senior Estimator role where your judgement genuinely shapes outcomes. You ll work closely with the Managing Director who remains hands-on around earthworks alongside design managers and QSs, bringing commercial clarity across a strong pipeline of negotiated projects.
While consultants produce the Bills of Quantities and cut-and-fill models, you ll stay deeply involved in pricing and analysis reviewing quantities, interrogating subcontractor returns and shaping the final commercial position. So the work stays technical and influential, without being consumed by pure measurement.
And because a high proportion of work is negotiated, you re not just chasing the lowest price. You re helping secure the right projects with a close-knit, trusted supply chain making pricing more collaborative, more accurate and more rewarding.
What you ll do
Lead pricing, risk and bid strategy across a range of tenders
Analyse BoQs and earthworks outputs provided by consultants
Shape commercially robust proposals and value-driven solutions
Work closely with design, commercial and senior leadership teams
Support strong relationships with clients and supply chain partners
What you ll need
Senior estimating experience within a main contractor
Confidence influencing pricing and bid direction
Strong commercial and analytical skills
Experience in design & build environments
A collaborative, relationship-focused approach
