Using industry contacts and market knowledge to help generate tender opportunities
Supporting the business in securing positions on frameworks and preferred supplier lists
Working closely with senior management to shape estimating processes and commercial strategy
The Ideal Candidate
Our client is seeking an Estimator who combines technical capability with commercial awareness:
Proven experience as an Estimator within main contracting

Strong industry contacts and market presence
Experience contributing to business growth, frameworks or new work streams (highly desirable)
Ambitious, proactive and keen to be part of a growing division rather than a siloed role
