The Company
Our client is a main contractor based in the East Midlands. Relatively new to the market but growing fast, they are on course for £120m+ turnover and have built a strong reputation delivering high-quality commercial, industrial, retail and residential schemes — including apartments and hotels — across the UK. With a small but very strong team culture, this is a genuinely exciting time to join a business on a clear growth trajectory, with real scope for progression as they continue to scale.
The Role
We're recruiting for a Senior Estimator to join an established preconstruction team. You'll be self-sufficient and able to hit the ground running, managing two live tenders at any one time — typically one at an early stage and one midway through.
Key Responsibilities
* Producing accurate, competitive estimates across a range of tenders
* Managing multiple live tenders simultaneously, from early-stage to midway through the process
* Working collaboratively with the wider preconstruction and technical team
* Liaising with subcontractors and suppliers to obtain competitive pricing
About You
* Proven estimating experience within main contracting
* Commercial, industrial, retail or residential sector experience preferred, though candidates from other backgrounds will be considered
* Comfortable working autonomously with minimal onboarding
* Strong communication and organisational skills
What's on Offer
* Hybrid working (3 days office / 2 days home)
* Genuine progression opportunities within a fast-growing business
* Small, close-knit, highly capable team
