Big estimating teams can be great places to learn, but they can also keep you pricing the same thing, in the same lane, for years. This is the opposite.
A young, well-funded specialist contractor working across new build, refurbishment and remediation is growing fast. It has a new office on the City fringe, a flexible approach to working and a plan to build its estimating function from scratch inside pre-construction. They're hiring at a couple of levels, and this role is for an Estimator who wants room to develop rather than a narrow lane in a big firm.
The Role
You’ll price a genuine mix of work, from cladding replacement on residential blocks to fabric-first retrofit and new build packages, working closely with the Senior Estimator and the wider pre-construction team. As the function grows, so will you, with proper development and a clear path to Senior Estimator.
What you’ll be doing
- Pricing remediation, refurbishment and new build schemes across cladding, façades, fire safety upgrades, EWI and fabric upgrades.
- Producing estimates and tenders, including take-offs, measurement, pricing schedules and subcontractor enquiries.
- Supporting two-stage tenders, PCSAs and early contractor involvement.
- Pulling together cost data for funding schemes such as the Building Safety Fund, Cladding Safety Scheme and Warm Homes: Social Housing Fund.
- Spotting the risks and allowances in what you price.
- Building a reliable supply chain for pricing and keeping enquiries moving.
- Working with the wider pre-construction and commercial team as the function builds out.
What we’re looking for
- Solid take-off and pricing skills.
- Experience of subcontractor and supply chain pricing.
- The appetite to learn and grow with a business that’s growing too.
- Two-stage or PCSA exposure, retrofit, EWI or PAS 2035 experience, or working towards MRICS or MCIOB would be a plus.
What’s on offer
- A Central London office with flexible working
- Proper development and a real path to Senior Estimator
- Variety across remediation, refurbishment and new build, not the same scheme on repeat
- The chance to get in early on a team being built from scratch
