The Opportunity
An established and growing construction subcontractor is looking to appoint a Sales & Estimating Administrator to support its commercial team during a period of transition and growth. This role initially covers a maternity leave, with a clear longer-term opportunity to develop into an Estimator role for the right individual.
This is an excellent opportunity for someone highly organised, detail-driven and comfortable working in a quiet, professional, “heads-down” office environment. You’ll play a pivotal role in keeping sales and estimating processes running smoothly, acting as a central point of contact for both customers and suppliers.
The Role
Working closely with the sales and estimating teams, your focus will be on administration, coordination and organisation, enabling the wider team to focus on winning and delivering work.
Key responsibilities will include:
* Filtering and setting up incoming enquiries onto the CRM system
* Managing electronic filing of documents, drawings and specifications
* Identifying missing or incomplete information and liaising with clients to resolve this
* Obtaining supplier quotations and preparing quote schedules
* Managing quote priorities on behalf of the estimators
* Maintaining and updating CRM records and sales documentation
* Setting up secured orders on internal systems
* Providing ad hoc administrative support to sales and estimating teams
* Supporting business development activity
* Producing project presentations and PowerPoint materials
* Organising CPD presentations for architects and contractors
About You
You’ll thrive in this role if you are highly organised, proactive and self-motivated, with the confidence to manage multiple priorities at once.
You’ll ideally bring:
* Previous experience in a customer-focused administrative role
* Strong IT skills, particularly across Microsoft Office 365 (Outlook, Excel, Word)
* Experience using CRM systems or similar databases
* Excellent written and verbal communication skills
* Strong attention to detail and a problem-solving mindset
* The ability to work calmly to deadlines across multiple projects
* A flexible, “can-do” attitude and strong team ethic
Experience within the construction industry would be beneficial, but is not essential - attitude, organisation and willingness to learn are key.
Culture & Progression
This is a quiet, professional and highly collaborative working environment, suited to individuals who are comfortable working independently and taking pride in being reliable and organised. Longer term, this role offers genuine progression into estimating, making it ideal for someone looking to build a career rather than take a short-term stopgap role.
