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.
