They are looking for an Estimator or Senior Estimator to join their close-knit team based on the North East London / Essex border. What makes this role stand out is the sheer variety of the portfolio. Unlike "one-trick pony" contractors, my client handles everything from high-end residential extensions and bespoke refurbishments to commercial fit-outs and public sector projects.
