Estimator - Commercial Fit-Out / Construction (SME Environment) Three9s Talent currently supporting an established fit-out contractor looking to appoint an Estimator who is already pricing work independently and is ready to take full ownership of their tenders in a well-run SME environment. Estimator role will suit someone who is trusted to manage their own work day-to-day, with support available when needed, rather than requiring close supervision or step-by-step instruction. It is not a graduate or training position, but it does suit a commercially minded estimator who wants more responsibility, visibility, and influence over how tenders are priced and reviewed. This Estimator Role Will Suit You If: You already have hands-on UK estimating experience and are comfortable pricing work from drawings and specifications You are organised, disciplined, and reliable with documents, data, and deadlines You take pride in producing clear, accurate, well-structured estimates You communicate clearly and professionally with internal teams, suppliers, and subcontractors You are comfortable asking questions early and raising risks, rather than working around gaps You can explain the logic behind your pricing when challenged Key Estimator Responsibilities: Preparing accurate estimates using UK pricing methodologies Reviewing drawings and tender documentation to identify risks, gaps, and ambiguities Requesting, reviewing, and comparing supplier and subcontractor quotes Clearly defining exclusions, provisional sums, and allowances Maintaining well-structured estimating files and Excel-based pricing models Managing multiple tenders simultaneously in a controlled, organised manner Supporting commercial discussions with clear, logical pricing input What Good Work Looks Like Here: Estimates are reviewed and discussed, not ignored or rubber-stamped Clear scope definition, exclusions, and pricing logic are valued over rushed numbers Estimators are listened to during commercial discussions Quality and accuracy matter more than volume-only bidding What Estimator Can Expect: A stable, established SME environment with a consistent workflow Clear expectations and the autonomy to manage your own work Exposure to the full tender lifecycle, from initial review through to delivery alignment Practical, direct feedback focused on improving outcomes - not box-ticking A professional team environment where effort and competence are recognised What Estimator We re Looking For: Proven experience in estimating within UK construction or commercial fit-out Strong attention to detail and logical, methodical thinking Confidence working independently without constant oversight Solid Excel skills and comfort working with detailed spreadsheets A professional attitude - open to feedback, but not reliant on instruction Understanding of construction methods; MEP or joinery exposure is an advantage A professional mindset - open to feedback, but not reliant on instruction Estimator Role Is Not Suitable If: Estimator role will not be suitable for someone who requires close supervision or step-by-step instruction to complete their work. It is also unlikely to suit individuals who rely solely on historic rates without checking current relevance, avoid taking responsibility for pricing decisions, or struggle to manage their workload, documentation, and deadlines across multiple tenders. Candidates who become defensive when estimates are challenged, rather than discussing issues constructively, or who are specifically seeking a junior, trainee, or heavily supported role will find this environment misaligned. This is an opportunity to join a well-run SME environment where estimators are expected to carry responsibility, think logically, and contribute professionally from day one. Apply with your CV for a confidential discussion with Three9s Talent.

Estimator - Commercial Fit-Out / Construction (SME Environment) Three9s Talent currently supporting an established fit-out contractor looking to appoint an Estimator who is already pricing work independently and is ready to take full ownership of their tenders in a well-run SME environment. Estimator role will suit someone who is trusted to manage their own work day-to-day, with support available when needed, rather than requiring close supervision or step-by-step instruction. It is not a graduate or training position, but it does suit a commercially minded estimator who wants more responsibility, visibility, and influence over how tenders are priced and reviewed. This Estimator Role Will Suit You If: You already have hands-on UK estimating experience and are comfortable pricing work from drawings and specifications You are organised, disciplined, and reliable with documents, data, and deadlines You take pride in producing clear, accurate, well-structured estimates You communicate clearly and professionally with internal teams, suppliers, and subcontractors You are comfortable asking questions early and raising risks, rather than working around gaps You can explain the logic behind your pricing when challenged Key Estimator Responsibilities: Preparing accurate estimates using UK pricing methodologies Reviewing drawings and tender documentation to identify risks, gaps, and ambiguities Requesting, reviewing, and comparing supplier and subcontractor quotes Clearly defining exclusions, provisional sums, and allowances Maintaining well-structured estimating files and Excel-based pricing models Managing multiple tenders simultaneously in a controlled, organised manner Supporting commercial discussions with clear, logical pricing input What Good Work Looks Like Here: Estimates are reviewed and discussed, not ignored or rubber-stamped Clear scope definition, exclusions, and pricing logic are valued over rushed numbers Estimators are listened to during commercial discussions Quality and accuracy matter more than volume-only bidding What Estimator Can Expect: A stable, established SME environment with a consistent workflow Clear expectations and the autonomy to manage your own work Exposure to the full tender lifecycle, from initial review through to delivery alignment Practical, direct feedback focused on improving outcomes - not box-ticking A professional team environment where effort and competence are recognised What Estimator We re Looking For: Proven experience in estimating within UK construction or commercial fit-out Strong attention to detail and logical, methodical thinking Confidence working independently without constant oversight Solid Excel skills and comfort working with detailed spreadsheets A professional attitude - open to feedback, but not reliant on instruction Understanding of construction methods; MEP or joinery exposure is an advantage A professional mindset - open to feedback, but not reliant on instruction Estimator Role Is Not Suitable If: Estimator role will not be suitable for someone who requires close supervision or step-by-step instruction to complete their work. It is also unlikely to suit individuals who rely solely on historic rates without checking current relevance, avoid taking responsibility for pricing decisions, or struggle to manage their workload, documentation, and deadlines across multiple tenders. Candidates who become defensive when estimates are challenged, rather than discussing issues constructively, or who are specifically seeking a junior, trainee, or heavily supported role will find this environment misaligned. This is an opportunity to join a well-run SME environment where estimators are expected to carry responsibility, think logically, and contribute professionally from day one. Apply with your CV for a confidential discussion with Three9s Talent.
