About My Client
Established in 2005, my client is a leading principal contractor delivering high-quality, sustainable, and innovative construction projects across the UK. They handle complex schemes from concept to completion, with an exceptional portfolio spanning the education, health, residential, commercial, leisure and government sectors. They pride themselves on precision, a client-first collaborative approach, and their dedication to social value and positive community legacies.
The Role
As the Estimating Manager, you will lead and oversee all pre-construction pricing, ensuring the delivery of accurate, competitive and highly profitable tender submissions. This is a critical leadership position within the commercial team, bridging the gap between client interaction, sub-contractor negotiation and internal project delivery.

There is no hybrid or remote work available for this position.
Key Responsibilities:
- Tender Management: Lead the pre-construction team from initial expression of interest through to final tender submission, pricing projects from £1m up to complex, multi-million-pound schemes.
- Cost Optimization: Prepare highly detailed analytic cost estimates, including labor, materials, plant and subcontractor packages.
