Why this business?
This is a contractor with the in-house capability to deliver a genuine 360° Design & Build solution, providing clients with program certainty, quality and innovation on a lump-sum basis.
As a Senior Estimator, you'll lead bids from first principles, identifying risk and opportunity while shaping winning tender strategies on technically complex projects.
Whilst they may not always be the lowest bidder, they consistently win work through their reputation for delivery, quality and certainty.
