You are an Estimator who enjoys getting stuck into real projects rather than just pushing numbers around on a spreadsheet. You like understanding how a job actually comes together and you take pride in pricing work properly.
You probably work in commercial fit out, interiors or refurbishment right now and you want to be somewhere that values your input early in the process. A place where your opinion matters when bids are being shaped, not just when the numbers are needed at the end.
You want stability, interesting projects and a team where people know each other well. Working from a South Manchester office suits you and you are comfortable pricing projects in the office fit out and commercial interiors world.
Your experience
You have experience working as an Estimator or Assistant Estimator within construction, ideally within office fit out, commercial interiors or refurbishment.
You understand how to build up a tender from first principles and you are comfortable reviewing drawings, specifications and scope documents.
You have experience pricing projects in the £500k to £5m range or you are ready to step into that level. You can speak confidently with subcontractors, understand market rates and put together competitive tenders.
You will likely have experience using estimating software and Excel and you understand the commercial side of construction pricing.
What you will be doing with your experience
You will be pricing office fit out and commercial interior projects up to £5m in value.
You will review tender documents, assess drawings and specifications, and build accurate cost plans. You will engage with subcontractors and suppliers to obtain quotations and help shape competitive bids.
You will work closely with the commercial and pre construction teams to make sure tenders are realistic, well structured and commercially strong.
Your work will directly influence which projects the business secures, so your experience in estimating, tender preparation and cost analysis will play a key role in the growth of the company.
