Estimator - Refurbishment & Commercial Fit-Out Location: Basildon HQ Salary: Up to £70,000 per annum The Opportunity We're working with a well-established contractor specialising in refurbishment and commercial fit-out projects across London and the Southeast. They are now seeking an Estimator to join their Basildon head office team and support the tendering and pricing of a consistent pipeline of commercial refurb, maintenance and light fit-out schemes. The role is well suited to experienced Estimators, Quantity Surveyors looking to move into a pre-construction role, or strong up-and-coming candidates looking to develop their commercial career. If you understand the flow of a project, have experience with pricing or managing costs, and want to progress your estimating capability, this team will give you room to grow. About the Company This business has delivered successful projects for over a decade across commercial, education and public-sector environments. Their reputation is built on quality, accuracy and reliability. Typical project values reach up to £500k and are often delivered in live, occupied environments, meaning attention to detail, clarity and consistency are essential. You will join a close-knit commercial team that works closely with project managers, contracts managers and clients to support the full tendering and pre-construction process. Key Responsibilities You will be involved in preparing estimates for reactive and planned refurbishment and fit-out projects using drawings, specifications and site information. The role includes measurement and take-offs, issuing subcontract enquiries, analysing prices, and assembling competitive tender submissions. The role also requires regular liaison with clients, project managers and subcontractors, ensuring all tender queries and clarifications are handled professionally. What We're Looking For We are looking for someone with experience in estimating or quantity surveying within refurbishment, commercial fit-out or specialist subcontracting. The company welcomes applications from both established Estimators and QSs or Assistant Estimators who have the drive to step up, or even full lifecycle project managers who are interested in specialising into an Estimator role. You should have a good understanding of construction sequencing and trade packages, strong numeracy, the ability to interpret drawings, and the confidence to communicate with internal teams and external stakeholders. Competence with Excel, Word and basic digital tools is important, and experience with take-off or estimating software would be an advantage. An HNC/HND, degree or equivalent experience in Quantity Surveying, Construction Management or a related discipline is preferred, but practical experience will carry weight. What's On Offer The role offers a salary of up to £70,000 depending on experience. You will receive ongoing support and mentoring within a team that encourages professional development and progression, with a clear path towards a more senior estimating role. The company is growing quickly and has a strong and stable order book with repeat commercial clients, and you will be working in a positive environment that values accuracy, teamwork and long-term success.
