Some estimating roles drain your time. This one amplifies your impact.
You’ll be joining a privately owned design & build main contractor based in Bromsgrove — stepping into a collaborative, well‑supported pre‑construction environment where specialists handle the heavy measurement, and you focus on strategy, pricing and winning the right work.
This is a Senior Estimator role where your judgement genuinely shapes outcomes. You’ll work closely with the Managing Director — who remains hands‑on around earthworks — alongside design managers and QSs, bringing commercial clarity across a strong pipeline of negotiated projects.
While consultants produce the Bills of Quantities and cut‑and‑fill models, you’ll stay deeply involved in pricing and analysis — reviewing quantities, interrogating subcontractor returns and shaping the final commercial position. So the work stays technical and influential, without being consumed by pure measurement.
And because a high proportion of work is negotiated, you’re not just chasing the lowest price. You’re helping secure the right projects with a close‑knit, trusted supply chain — making pricing more collaborative, more accurate and more rewarding.
What you’ll do
* Lead pricing, risk and bid strategy across a range of tenders
* Analyse BoQs and earthworks outputs provided by consultants
* Shape commercially robust proposals and value‑driven solutions
* Work closely with design, commercial and senior leadership teams
* Support strong relationships with clients and supply chain partners
What you’ll need
* Senior estimating experience within a main contractor
* Confidence influencing pricing and bid direction
* Strong commercial and analytical skills
* Experience in design & build environments
* A collaborative, relationship‑focused approach
About the company
This is a contractor built on long‑term relationships, repeat business and delivery consistency. They invest in specialist pre‑construction support to reduce risk and improve certainty — allowing their estimators to focus on high‑value decision‑making.
You’ll join a close‑knit team with direct access to leadership, minimal red tape and the autonomy to make a real impact. And for the right person, they’re prepared to offer a highly attractive salary and package.
If you prefer shaping winning strategy over firefighting tenders, this role puts you back where you do your best work.
