This is an opportunity for you if you are looking for exposure and responsibility in your career that isn't possible in your current role. You can take this role on either PAYE or through your own limited company, and although there is flexibility around how you are paid, this is very much a permanent position. The package includes 25 days' holiday, travel expenses and a three-month notice period following your probationary period. My client is a well-established drylining subcontractor with a turnover of around 35m, predominantly working on CAT A and shell & core projects for Tier 1 main contractors. They have recently secured a number of new CAT B fit out projects and are now looking to expand further into the finishes market. You will need to have solid experience in CAT B drylining and fit out, as you will be responsible for helping develop this area of the business. You will need to understand the different systems involved, including specialist SAS ceilings, acoustic and soundproof partitions, as well as the wider requirements of CAT B fit out. Experience dealing with fit out contractors such as Overbury and Structure Tone would be highly beneficial, along with an understanding of the pace at which these projects come to life and move from tender through to site. In return, our client is offering a unique opportunity to price projects, negotiate tenders and take real accountability for developing this area of the business. The sky is the limit in terms of progression, with the opportunity to earn additional bonuses for winning work. You can work from either their Slough office or their Central London office, with some days working from home. If you feel you have become stagnated in your current role, have the above experience and want to take on more responsibility and exposure, give me a call. Alternatively, apply to this advert. If you don't have a CV, don't worry, we can work on it together.

About you If you are an experienced Senior Estimator who knows fit out and refurbishment and enjoys taking ownership of a tender from the initial enquiry through to submission, this could be a really good opportunity for you. You will be joining an established team based from their Warrington office, working across industrial and commercial fit out and refurbishment projects valued up to around £5 million. You need to be comfortable getting into the detail of a tender. That means understanding what the client is asking for, attending tender meetings, reviewing drawings and specifications, speaking with the supply chain and ultimately putting together a competitive tender that you are confident in. The salary is £65,000 to £70,000 per annum, plus package. Your experience You will need previous estimating experience within fit out and refurbishment. Your background could be across industrial fit out, commercial fit out, office refurbishment or a mixture of different refurbishment projects. What is important is that you understand this type of work and can confidently price projects up to around £5 million. You should have experience taking a tender through the full process rather than simply pricing individual elements of a project. That will include reviewing enquiries, attending tender meetings, understanding drawings and specifications, completing take offs, obtaining subcontractor and supplier prices and putting the final tender together. You will need to be commercially aware and understand the importance of submitting a competitive price without exposing the business to unnecessary risk. What you will be doing with your experience You will take responsibility for tenders across industrial and commercial fit out and refurbishment projects, with individual schemes valued up to around £5 million. From the point an enquiry arrives, you will work through the tender and understand exactly what is required. You will attend tender meetings where required, review drawings and specifications, complete take offs, engage with subcontractors and suppliers and build up the costs for each project. You will then bring everything together into a complete tender submission, making sure the price is accurate, commercially sensible and reflects the requirements of the project. You will work closely with the wider team throughout the process, particularly when a tender progresses towards award and needs to be handed over into delivery. This is a role where you will have genuine ownership of your tenders rather than simply supporting somebody else with the pricing. About the business You will be joining an established construction business delivering industrial and commercial fit out and refurbishment projects. Projects vary in size up to around £5 million, giving you the opportunity to work across a good range of tenders rather than repeatedly pricing the same type of scheme. The role is based from the Warrington office and they are looking for an experienced Senior Estimator who understands the fit out and refurbishment market and can take responsibility for the tender process from the initial enquiry through to submission. The salary is £65,000 to £70,000 per annum, plus package. Next steps A CV isn't needed to start a conversation, so no matter what stage you're at in your job search, get in touch to discuss.
