I'm currently working with a leading specialist construction contractor who is looking to recruit an Assistant Estimator to join their growing Pre-Construction team.

• Obtain and review subcontractor and supplier quotations.

• Assist with pricing materials, labour, plant and equipment.

• Support the preparation of bills of quantities.

• Liaise with site teams, suppliers and subcontractors.

• Work alongside Senior Estimators throughout the tender process.

Requirements:

• Experience within construction, ideally from a site-based or commercial background.

• Previous experience as an Assistant Quantity Surveyor, Quantity Surveyor, Site Engineer or Site Manager would be beneficial.

• Good understanding of construction methods and processes.

• Ability to read and interpret technical drawings.

• Strong numerical and organisational skills.

• A genuine interest in developing a career within estimating.

The Opportunity:

An excellent opportunity to move into a pre-construction role with an established specialist contractor, gaining exposure to major projects across reinforced concrete frames, cut and carve and civil engineering.
