Role
Due to a consistent rise in confirmed and forthcoming projects, we are seeking to recruit an Estimator to join our expanding team. This position plays a vital role within the business, supporting fire-stopping and fire door packages from initial enquiry through to project completion. You will collaborate closely with project managers, site personnel, and senior management to ensure all tenders are precise, compliant, and commercially viable.
If you enjoy working with technical documentation, have a strong eye for detail, and want your work to directly contribute to improving building safety, this role would be a great fit.
Key Responsibilities
Assess drawings, specifications, surveys, and tender information for fire-stopping and fire door works
Produce accurate and comprehensive costings for labour, materials, access solutions, and preliminaries
Measure and quantify works in accordance with current regulations, manufacturer guidance, and project requirements
Communicate with clients, suppliers, fire engineers, and internal teams to confirm scope and technical details
Compile and submit tender returns, including value-engineered or alternative proposals where appropriate
Ensure all pricing complies with relevant third-party accreditation standards (IFC, BlueSky, ASFP best practice)
Assist with effective handover to project delivery teams, clearly outlining scope, assumptions, and exclusions
What We're Looking For
Previous estimating experience within passive fire protection, fire doors, or a related construction sector
Strong capability to interpret drawings, specifications, and fire strategies
A methodical, detail-focused approach to work
Confident written and verbal communication skills
Proficiency in Excel and estimating software
A team-oriented attitude aligned with a quality-led, compliance-focused organisation
Familiarity with IFC, BlueSky, or ASFP guidance is beneficial but not essential
Location & Working Arrangement
This role is primarily office-based at our Laindon (Essex) head office, working closely with the wider commercial, project management, and leadership teams. We value collaboration, technical discussion, and consistency in how our estimates are prepared and reviewed.
That said, for the right candidate, hybrid working arrangements may be considered, subject to experience, competence, and the needs of the business. Any hybrid arrangement would be agreed on an individual basis and reviewed periodically to ensure it continues to support quality, compliance, and team integration
