Walker & Sloan are representing a leading South Wales contractor with a strong track record in social housing, regeneration, and community-led projects. With an enviable pipeline of work secured through frameworks and repeat clients, they’re now looking for a commercially sharp Senior Estimator / Quantity Surveyor to help drive their projects forward and strengthen the commercial team.
This role is ideal for someone with strong tendering and pre-construction experience who can also support commercial management once schemes go live. It’s a hybrid position that combines the best of both worlds — strategic bid input and hands-on project delivery.

* Join a business with a genuine social impact, improving communities across South Wales
* Long-term stability with a secure pipeline of housing & regeneration work
* Supportive, collaborative culture where your contribution is recognised
* Career development opportunities into Commercial Manager or Estimating Lead
The role
Your day-to-day responsibilities will include:
* Leading on tender submissions, compiling competitive and accurate bids
* Preparing budgets, cost plans, valuations, and financial forecasts
* Managing cost control and contract administration on live projects
* Liaising with clients, consultants, and subcontractors to ensure cost efficiency
* Providing strategic commercial advice to directors and project teams
* Identifying risks and opportunities throughout the project lifecycle
You
We’re keen to speak to candidates who have:
* Experience as a Senior Estimator, QS, or dual-role professional
* Strong knowledge of social housing / affordable housing projects
* Excellent analytical and numerical skills
* A proactive, detail-oriented approach to tendering and cost management
* Confidence in dealing with stakeholders at all levels
This is an opportunity to join a forward-thinking contractor where your commercial skills will directly influence success. If you’re looking for a role that blends estimating expertise with commercial management, this is the one.
