Estimator - National Account Solutions - Nottingham - Turn Construction Plans into Commercial Success
Be Part of Something Bigger at Huws Gray.
At Huws Gray, we're looking for an experienced Estimator to join our National Account Solutions team in Nottingham.

Working alongside National Account Managers, branches, suppliers and customers, you'll play a key role in transforming enquiries, drawings and specifications into accurate, commercially sound quotations. You'll be part of a team that supports major customer projects from initial enquiry through to delivery on site.
What You'll Be Doing
No two days are the same in this role. You'll be responsible for managing enquiries, assessing project requirements and producing detailed quotations that support profitable growth and exceptional customer service. Your responsibilities will include:
