Direct message the job poster from Intake Talent

Our client is a specialist contractor with a strong reputation for delivering equestrian construction, agricultural buildings, fencing, drainage, surfacing and estate infrastructure. They are entering a planned phase of growth and expanding their service offering. To support this journey, they are seeking an Estimator who wants ownership, impact and the opportunity to contribute to a developing commercial function.

The Role

This is a key position responsible for managing the pricing and tendering function, working closely with the Managing Director to ensure projects are accurately costed and commercially viable.

You will:

* Prepare detailed cost estimates across equestrian, agricultural, civils, fencing and estate works
* Produce clear, professional tender submissions
* Liaise with suppliers, subcontractors and delivery teams
* Identify commercial risks early and protect margin
* Support the development of scalable estimating systems and commercial processes
* Bring complementary experience to strengthen the client’s expanding service capability

A significant proportion of projects require pricing from limited information, particularly in estate and equestrian environments. You must therefore be confident preparing mark‑ups, layouts and take‑offs where drawings are unavailable.

We are seeking someone with demonstrable estimating experience in one or more of the following areas:

* Groundworks or civils
* Equestrian or agricultural construction
* Surfacing or access tracks
* Rural or estate works
* Agricultural or steel‑framed structures

Experience does not need to match the existing offering exactly. Complementary backgrounds are welcomed.

Skills
* Strong first‑principles pricing ability
* Ability to interpret and quantify scope from limited information
* Commercial awareness and sound judgement
* Confident communication with suppliers and subcontractorsHighly organised, methodical and self‑driven
Mindset
* Takes ownership of outcomes
* Maintains high standards
* Is curious and willing to ask questions
* Works accurately and methodically
* Is motivated to develop as the commercial function grows
Why Apply?
* Join a business at a significant stage of growth
* Direct influence on pricing systems and commercial development
* A varied portfolio of high‑quality projects
* Hybrid working and a supportive, professional culture
* Competitive salary, performance incentives and long‑term development opportunities
