Are you an experienced Estimator with a strong background in drylining? A leading construction group who specialises in drylining is looking for a talented individual to join their commercial team as a stand-alone Estimator, supporting projects across the UK based out of the Leicester office.
This is a fantastic opportunity to work with a well-established group handling a wide variety of drylining projects, ranging from smaller special works (£50K£500K) to major schemes valued between £2M and £10M. The team currently includes a Managing, Senior and two Trainee Estimators. One team member is relocating overseas and will depart in October, so there's time for a smooth handover, but the role is available immediately for the right person.
As a first-principles Estimator, youll be expected to build rates from scratch and price work for both Tier 1 and Tier 2 contractors (schools, public sector, etc.). The business uses On Centre for take-off and their own bespoke system, for pricing. Youll have access to existing pricing templates, but your expertise in drylining and problem-solving will be key.
Key Responsibilities:
1. Prepare cost estimates from first principles for drylining packages
2. Manage take-offs using On Centre software
3. Price projects independently, liaising with clients and Tier 1/Tier 2 contractors
4. Collaborate closely with internal stakeholders...
